Considers public to private transitionsof non-financial firms in UK (1998-2000) compared to matched controls (by size and industry). Not This includes management buyouts as well as LBOs. Finds the following relations:*US and UK PTPs are unrelated, but maybe we can come back probably due to tax differences with respect to this later debt versus equity financing.*Identifies three hypotheses: market for contextcorporate control, incentive alignment, and monitoring.**Market for corporate control: Free cash control, threat of takeover insignificant**Incentive alignment, monitoring: Higher CEO shareholdings, higher institutional shareholdings, more duality, lower Q ratios significantly related to higher chance of PTP
