Abstract: We extend our worldwide research on private equity by studying the drivers of going private operating performance in emerging countries (Asia and Latin America). We select a large set of candidate drivers (financial, governance, macroeconomics, microeconomics, institutional variables) and we analyze their effects on performance over the short and long terms. To conduct our study, we use Capital IQ, Thomson One Banker, World Bank as databases. We contribute to the current literature by doing an investigation of the impact of macroeconomics factors and institutional drivers (political stability, rule of law and regulatory quality) on the buyout performance. Positive and significance results are obtained. We use a sample of 248 going private transactions, which occurred between 2000 and 2011. Our results show that GDP growth and political stability are important drivers that significantly contribute to generate performance in going private.
