A Bibliometric Analysis of the Leveraged Buyouts Concept: Evidence from the Web of Science Database

Öz

Leveraged buyouts are a financial strategy usually implemented by private equity firms or investment funds. Leveraged buyouts are a financing method that uses a high degree of leverage (borrowing) in the acquisition of a company, and there are three main elements underlying this method. These are; the investor finances the funds required for the acquisition through loan transactions from third parties or organizations, the investor acquires a stake in a company in such a way as to take control of the company to a large extent or completely, and the loan used for the acquisition is secured by the assets of the targeted company to a large extent or completely. The aim of this study is to examine the academic evolution and development of the concept of “Leveraged Buyouts” its emergence and how it is positioned especially in the field of finance and economics through a bibliometric analysis. Within the scope of this study, 468 studies published until the end of 2023 in the SSCI, SCI-Expanded and ESCI indexes in the Web of Science (WoS) database were analyzed. The data obtained were visualized with bibliometric networks, links and tables through R Studio software program. This study provides important information on the areas in which the concept of “Leveraged Buyouts” is examined in the field of social sciences, especially in the disciplines of finance and economics.
