Leslie Jeng and Josh Lerner

American Economic Review, 2016, vol. 106, issue 5, 157-60

Abstract: Private markets are becoming an increasingly important way of financing rapidly growing and mature firms, and private investors are reputed to have far-reaching economic impacts. These important markets, however, are uniquely difficult to study. This paper explores these challenges, as well as the ways they can be overcome, using the experiences of the Private Capital Research Institute as a case.
