Leveraged Buyouts and Private Equity

Steven Kaplan () and Per Stromberg

No 65, SIFR Research Report Series from Institute for Financial Research

Abstract: We describe and present time series evidence on the leveraged buyout/private equity industry, both firms and transactions. We discuss the existing empirical evidence on the economics of the firms and transactions. We consider similarities and differences between the recent private equity wave and the wave of the 1980s. Finally, we speculate on what the evidence implies for the future of private equity.
