What Factors Drive Start-Up Investments in India's Subnational Economies?

In: The Indian economic journal, Band 70, Heft 2, S. 370-373

Abstract

India has rapidly evolved into a fast-growing emerging market with one of the largest start-up ecosystems in the world. Despite the rapid strides, the nature of investment distribution of start-ups remain heavily concentrated in specific regions within India, fuelling concerns of regional disparities. In this research note, I empirically explore the determinants of start-up investments in India's subnational economies, to identify the conditioning variables that possibly drive such investments.
