  • Abstract

    Venture capital is crucial innovation capital. A venture capital option game model is constructed to obtain an incentive strategy that drives venture capital to actively allocate resources to support innovation based on risk subsidies and tax incentives. Moreover, the implementation effect of venture capital incentive policies under the value-uncertain condition of the entrepreneurial enterprise is studied. The results illustrate that when the uncertainty of the value of the entrepreneurial enterprise is less than the threshold, the tax preference policy is more effective in accelerating the investment decision-making of venture capital institutions. In contrast, the two policies have identical effects. When the uncertainty of the value of the entrepreneurial enterprise is less than the threshold, the risk subsidy policy has a better effect on increasing the investment scale of venture capital institutions, while the two policies have the same effect.

    The optimal decision is obtained for venture capitals to invest startups and for governments to provide investment incentives based on the option game model.

    Abstract

    Venture capital is crucial innovation capital. A venture capital option game model is constructed to obtain an incentive strategy that drives venture capital to actively allocate resources to support innovation based on risk subsidies and tax incentives. Moreover, the implementation effect of venture capital incentive policies under the value-uncertain condition of the entrepreneurial enterprise is studied. The results illustrate that when the uncertainty of the value of the entrepreneurial enterprise is less than the threshold, the tax preference policy is more effective in accelerating the investment decision-making of venture capital institutions. In contrast, the two policies have identical effects. When the uncertainty of the value of the entrepreneurial enterprise is less than the threshold, the risk subsidy policy has a better effect on increasing the investment scale of venture capital institutions, while the two policies have the same effect.

    • Public Summary

    • This work constructs an option game model of government and venture capital institutions based on both tax incentives and risk subsidies.
    • The impact of uncertainty on optimal risk investment decisions and policies is measured.
    • The differences in the roles of the two investment incentive policies in different uncertainty intervals are obtained, which provides theoretical support for investment decision-making and incentive policy formulation.
