  • Abstract
    We investigate the role of external financing in influencing firmsʹ start-up size. The econometric estimates run on a sample of Italian young firms operating in high-tech industries highlight that bank debt-financed firms are not larger than firms created only through foundersʹ personal savings, while firms that received external private equity financing have greater start-up size
