• Resumen

  • This paper studies venture capital investment in the United States, with an emphasis on the Clean-Technology industries. The Clean-Technology industries encompass ventures that compete in markets with products and services that explicitly take environmental issues into account. This paper explores the importance of macroeconomics variables, aggregate venture capital investment on Clean-Technology and investment backed by venture capital. Quarterly data of capital venture investment and number of deals are used for the period 1995-2020. The results indicate that Clean-Tech investment offers investors possibilities for some degree of diversification.
