It is really an incentive for deepening the reserach on the social effects of private equity investments.

As you suggest, we certainly need to broaden the research in terms of 1) data about private equity performance, wages and employment; 2) policy isues related to market regulation.

Almost all things that goes into the process of production employing labor will have an impact on labor. This is not a discovery now. Private eqyuity funds are supposed to be collection of private savings looking for investment in shares of companies. They compete among themselves, look for high returns commensurate with the risks they make and lose money. There are success stories and there are failure stories. When the failure stories impact the private equity funds adversely and outweighs the positive effect consistently, private equity funds will lose money. So, what is the great point to study. The data gathered and analyzed reflects good reaseach work. But does not in any way indicate anything of consequence in terms of policy regarding private equity investments. in companies. We must know how the private equity funds have earned, the consistency and variability of their retunrs and relate them to wages and employment where private equity has major stake in companies.
