Invitation For PhD Defence - Jacek Piosik
In order to obtain the PhD degree, Jacek Piosik has submitted his thesis entitled:
Essays on Entrepreneurial Finance
This thesis investigates the role of human capital in the entrepreneurial economy through three empirical essays that leverage unique population data. Each chapter addresses a different research question, aiming to enhance our understanding of human traits that determine entrepreneurial outcomes and the expected impact of various policy measures. The first chapter explores the composition of skills in individuals' decisions to become entrepreneurs. The second chapter emphasizes the importance of accounting for human capital in self-selection into entrepreneurship when designing financial policies. The third chapter examines the impact of angel investors' human and social capital on value creation in the economy.
The thesis will be available from research.cbs.dk
