Entrepreneurship and government subsidies under capital constraints: a general equilibrium analysis

This paper studies the interaction of capital constraints with business formation, growth and destruction, and the policy implications of this interaction. A dynamic general equilibrium model is constructed and shown to be consistent with recent empirical finding on this subject.
