Are U.S. Companies Too Short-Term Oriented? Some ThoughtsSteven N. Kaplan
NBER Working Paper No. 23464 U.S. companies are often criticized for being overly short-term oriented. This paper documents that those criticisms have a long history, going back at least thirty-five years. The paper then considers the implications of sustained short-termism for corporate profits, venture capital investments and returns, private equity investments and returns, and corporate valuations. The paper finds little long-term evidence that is consistent with the predictions of the short-term critics.
