Markets are heterogeneous. Each individual market has different features that generate different equilibrium patterns and therefore, different policy implications. Spotting which feature is more important for a particular market can be an indispensable tool to generate economic models that are close enough to the reality to be taken to the data and generate testable implications.

520 $a Markets are heterogeneous. Each individual market has different features that generate different equilibrium patterns and therefore, different policy implications. Spotting which feature is more important for a particular market can be an indispensable tool to generate economic models that are close enough to the reality to be taken to the data and generate testable implications.
520 $a This dissertation embodies two essays that discuss how the presence of such peculiarities in the Private Equity market as well as inside Organizations can generate apparently surprising results.
520 $a Chapter 2 presents a new theory that shows why venture capital (VC) firms take young and poorly developed companies public. The key feature presented is human capital capacity constraints. Venture capital firms can take only a limited number of new projects at once, and they must go public with current projects in order to take advantage of new opportunities. The more constrained a VC firm, the earlier it needs to take companies public.
520 $a Chapter 3 (written jointly with Jan Eeckhout) shows that when firms compete for talent in the labor market, in equilibrium organizations will differ between each other. We find that organizations with higher Total Factor Productivity (TFP) are larger and hire from a broader range of skills. This implies that there are more levels within the organization hierarchy and that their CEO is more skilled.
