abstract = {In a leveraged buyout, a company is acquired by a specialized investment firm using a relatively small portion of equity and a relatively large portion of outside debt financing. The leveraged buyout investment firms today refer to themselves (and are generally referred to) as private equity firms. We describe and present time series evidence on the private equity industry, considering 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.},

A comprehensive review of the LBO/private equity literature up to 2009. Should be useful for finding additional sources and catching up with somewhat recent research.

doi = {10.1016/j.jcorpfin.2007.04.008},
abstract = {This paper provides an overview of the literature on private equity and leveraged buyouts, focusing on global evidence related to both governance and returns to private equity and leveraged buyouts. We distinguish between financial and real returns to this activity, where the latter refers to productivity and broader performance measures. We also outline a research agenda on this topic.},

Literature review on LBOs and private equity. Researchers have explored the following in relation to PTP transitions (table 4):
*Eddey et al (1996): Takeover threat
*Evans et al (2002): Liquidity, growth rate, leverage, R&D
*Weir et al (2005a): CEO ownership share, institutional ownership share, CEO Board Chair duality
In addition, should consider difference between hedge fund and private equity-financed buyouts (hedge funds less hands-on).
