But Marcos's spec isn't very grounded. He clusters standard errors at the year level but uses no fixed effects. We want to know what goes on inside markets, implying market-level fixed effects. He believes that "Since non-match speci�c specific variables are not used in the structural model, we have to interact VC or Startup speci�c specific variables." I'm not sure that this is correct. He goes on to say that "Therefore, the main specifi�cation specification is one which every match-specifi�c specific variable has a quadratic interaction, and startup and VC variables are interacted with each other. Also, we exclude industry code from the model because it is a discrete variable, and
we transform VC founding year to VC tenure, which subtracts the former with year of match."
Finally, collapse the dataset by summing realmatch and produce a histogram and some analysis.
