FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda NYU Stern School of Business professor Deepak Hegde and the University of Munich’s Justin Tumlinson have developed a formal model to understand the “selection” and “influence” effects of social proximity between business partners.
They found that U.S. venture capitalists (VCs) are more likely to select start-ups with coethnic executives (start-up executives with the same ethnic background as the VCs) for investment, particularly when the probability of the start-ups’ success is low.
Coethnic investments perform better, that is, have a higher probability of successful exit through acquisitions and initial public offerings (IPO), resulting in start-ups with higher market capitalization and net income after IPO.
Two-stage regression estimates suggest that these positive performance outcomes are largely due to influence—that is, superior communication and coordination between coethnic VCs and start-up executives after the investment.
The researchers found that to the
extent that VCs expect to work better with co-ethnic start-ups, they invest in coethnic ventures that are of lower observable quality than non-coethnic ventures.
These findings suggest that discrimination toward socially similar others in partnerships can arise from strategic anticipation of superior coordination benefits from socially proximate partners.
