Negli ultimi due decenni, il settore del private equity si è fortemente sviluppato nei paesi europei che sono caratterizzati da un approccio più orientato verso gli interessi delle parti interessate rispetto a quelli degli azionisti. Utilizzando una banca dati unica di 106 acquisizioni avvenute in Italia tra il 2009 e il 2015, questa tesi mira a fornire un contributo interessante e utile alla letteratura precedente, studiando in che modo le società di private equity incidono sul lato operativo e sociale delle società di acquisizione e se la specializzazione del private equity gli operatori sono collegati a migliori prestazioni delle società di portafoglio. Inoltre, questa tesi fornisce un contributo alla letteratura ristretta che studia gli effetti del private equity in Italia. L'analisi empirica mostra prove di significativi effetti positivi del private equity sulla crescita del fatturato delle imprese sostenute e sulla crescita dell'occupazione, mentre si riscontrano effetti negativi sulla redditività. Tuttavia, nell'analisi non sono stati rilevati effetti significativi della specializzazione del settore dell'investitore in private equity.

Abstract
In the last two decades, the private equity industry has strongly developed in European countries which are characterized by an approach more oriented towards stakeholders' interests than to shareholders' ones. Using a unique database of 106 buyouts occurred in Italy between 2009 and 2015 this thesis aims to be an interesting and useful contribution to previous literature investigating in which way private equity firms impact the operating and social side of buyout companies and if the specialization of private equity operators is related to better performance of portfolio companies. Furthermore, this thesis provides a contribution to the narrow literature investigating private equity effects in Italy. The empirical analysis show evidence of significant positive effects of private equity on backed companies' turnover growth and employment growth, while negative effects are found on profitability. Nevertheless, no significant effects of the industry specialization of the private equity investor have been found in the analysis.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
