Abstract
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) came into eect in the European
Union in May 2018. We study its short-run impact on investment in new and emerging
technology rms. Our ndings indicate negative post-GDPR eects on EU ventures,
relative to their US counterparts. The negative eects manifest in the overall dollar
amounts raised across funding deals, the number of deals, and the dollar amount raised
per individual deal.
Keywords: Data, regulation, GDPR, investment, venture nancing
