Critics Review
"Jenkinson and Ljungqvist provide a much needed critical review of the vast IPO literature. The coverage is comprehensive and they do a fine job of integrating and evaluating the relative merits of alternative theoretical paradigms in light of the existing empirical evidence. Going Public is an invaluable resource for those conducting research in this area."'Professor William J. Wilhelm, Boston College“The book by Jenkinson and Ljungqvist combines theory and empirical work on new issue markets for different countries in a scholarly but highly readable fashion. The comparison provides a rare look at cross-country differences. It is a book that is accessible to both researchers and students of corporate finance.”‘Julian Franks, Corporation of London Professor of Finance, London Business School`“Going Public successfully synthesizes the existing theoretical and empirical research and highlights areas for further research. Students of economics and finance, as well as practitioners, will find many fresh perspectives and insights in this study.”‘Times Higher Education Supplement
