RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Relational Analysis of Global Private Equity and GDP of Eight Major Economies JF The Journal of Private Equity FD Institutional Investor Journals SP 60 OP 62 DO 10.3905/jpe.2014.18.1.060 VO 18 IS 1 A1 Manu Sharma A1 Esha Prashar A1 Gunwant Singh Saini YR 2014 UL https://pm-research.com/content/18/1/60.abstract AB In this study, we examine the importance of venture capital by determining the relationship of the quarterly returns of Global Growth Equity indexes to the percentage change in quarterly GDP of eight major economies: Canada, the European Union, France, Italy, Germany, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States. For the purposes of our study, we use regression analysis to investigate the effects of Global Growth Equity index returns on the percentage change in GDP. We observe that the Global Growth Equity Index (U.S.) is the only factor that is able to explain the change in GDP of two countries in our study, Canada and France.TOPICS: Private equity, developed, performance measurement, statistical methods
