Searching in the Pre-IPO Market-Interaction between Private Firms and Investment Banks

Abstract: We are the first to set up a random search based model to describe the pre-IPO market searching and matching process between private firms with intent to sell equity in an IPO and investment banks (IB) that underwrite the issue. Due to the wide existence of the market search friction, the necessary time is required in order to form a strategic pair between a private firm and an investment bank for a successful IPO.

“…However, there are only a few research papers from the literature on the application of search theory in the field of finance. Chen et al (2015) propose a random search-based model to explore the pre-IPO market search process between private firms and investment banks. Song and Jain (2020) set up a random search model to investigate the search and bargain process between angel investors and entrepreneurs in the very early-stage financing market.…”

“…Duffie et al (2002, 2005, 2007), Lagos and Rocheteau (2007) are pioneers to introduce search theory to dynamic asset markets. Chen et al (2015) set up a random search-based model to characterize the pre-IPO market matching process between private firms and investment banks to provide an alternate explanation to IPO short-run underpricing. Song and Lewison (2018) establish a search-based model to investigate the impact of the delisting risk by the stock exchange on the distressed public company’s going-private decision.…”
