| Abstract: | This paper explores what happens if the government bears some of the risk through a profit tax (here as: p-tax) when the risk sharing in the venture capital market is incomplete due to non-observability of effort and moral hazard. In case the external equity investors can enforce exclusive contracts with the entrepreneurs, the risk relief through a p-tax will lead to too much insurance and too low effort as compared with a second best optimal solution etc. |
