创新是经济持续增长的重要驱动，建设成为创新型国家是我国经济和社会发展的重要战略。大量研究表明创业投资有利于促进企业自主创新、调整产业结构和转变经济增长方式。随着世界经济一体化趋势的增强，跨国VC在全球特别是新兴市场占有相当大的比例，并发挥着日益重要的作用。我国作为世界上最大的VC输入国和最大的新兴市场，外国VC尤为重要，构成了我国VC市场区别于其他国家的重要特征。基于文化差异，本项目拟深入研究以下问题：（1）影响跨国VC投资行为和投资绩效的文化差异因素有哪些？（2）各种文化差异因素如何影响跨国VC投资行为和投资绩效？（3）社会关系和文化差异的交互作用如何？（4）市场化环境有何调节效应？本项目通过对上述问题的深入系统考察，以期厘清文化差异、社会关系对跨国VC投资的影响机理，以及市场化环境对此的调节效应，填补学术研究空白，并为我国政府不断完善外国VC投资机制提供理论参考、实证依据和政策建议。

创新是经济持续增长的重要驱动，建设成为创新型国家是我国经济和社会发展的重要战略。建立一个能有效地动员和集中创业资本、促进科技成果产业化的创业投资（VC）机制是落实自主创新战略的重要环节。VC行业的持续稳定发展对于促进我国企业自主创新、调整产业结构和转变经济发展方式具有深远的意义。.我国作为世界上最大的VC输入国和最大的新兴市场，外国VC尤为重要，构成了我国VC市场区别于其他国家的重要特征。本项目从这一特征出发，为厘清文化差异、社会关系对跨国VC投资的影响机理，开展了多个相关问题的研究。主要结论有：（1）由于信息不对称，文化差异会带来负效应；（2）由于政策的倾斜和筛选效应，文化差异也会带来正效应；（3）通过本土化，雇佣本地的经理人，形成良好的社会关系，可以进一步缓解文化差异的负效应，加强文化差异的正效应；（4）多种制度因素影响了横截面差异。.总体来说，项目的进展非常顺利，超额完成了预期目标。共有14篇学术论文陆续在高质量的国际、国内期刊中发表或接受，包括Contemporary Accounting Research (FT50，SSCI二区，ABS 4)、Emerging Markets Review (SSCI一区)、Pacific Basin Finance Journal (SSCI一区)、Journal of Accounting and Public Policy (SSCI一区，ABS 3)、International Review of Economics and Finance (SSCI二区)、Journal of Empirical Finance (SSCI二区，ABS 3)、Journal of Accounting, Auditing & Finance (ABS 3)、Journal of International Money and Finance (SSCI二区，ABS 3)、《金融研究》(CSSCI，南大核心)、《南开管理评论》(CSSCI，北大核心)等。.本项目的探索和研究丰富了“文化差异——社会关系——跨国投资行为和绩效”关系的学术研究，为后续跨国VC相关领域的研究提供了前期积累。为政府规范外国VC的投资行为，完善外国VC相关法律法规，引进吸收外国VC的先进管理经验，激发其对企业创新和经济增长的作用具有借鉴意义。
