Business Creation and the Stock Market

Abstract

We claim that the stock market encourages business creation, innovation, and growth by allowing the recycling of "informed capital". Due to incentive and information problems, new start-ups face high flotation costs. Sustaining a tight relationship with a monitor allows them to postpone their going public decision until profitability prospects are clearer of incentive problems are less severe.
