Abstract: | The authors demonstrate that firms that are more transparent pay less, in all components of issuance costs, to go public. They employ a sample of 334 previous leveraged buyouts and a characteristic-matched control sample to test the hypothesis that greater firm transparency before the issue decreases the flotation costs of the initial public offering. |
