520 |a In this paper, we analyze some of the ethical dimensions of going private transactions (GPTs), wherein publicly traded firms are taken private. Financial theory suggests that efficiencies may be realized in these transactions such that outside shareholders are made better off. Empirical evidence supports this theory.

The issues of the fiduciary duty of corporate managers to shareholders and their obligations to non-shareholders are also explored.
