The Effect of Leverage Buyouts on Innovation (view source)
Revision as of 11:53, 1 July 2019
, 11:53, 1 July 2019→LBO data
The GoPrvDate appears to be 1997 (from the spike in debt in the COMPUSTAT data), so dealnum 132 was kept (gopvt in 1998) and dealnum 208 was dropped (gopvt 1999).
There are some other issues with the data too. Two firms don't have gopvtdates, and so I can't create the last Fyear field for them or use them...
Dealnum CoName
565 GENERAL HOST CORP
568 SBARRO INC
And several firms only have data way before or somewhat after their GoPvtDate:
dealnumb fyear gvkey name goprdt extdt1 exttype1

114 1988 15424 Eagle Food Centers 11/10/1987 2/15/2000 Bankruptcy
After this name-based matching process, there are 20 LBOs still unmatched. They are (also in StillMissingLBOs.txt in the dropbox and E:\lbo):
