I think the deeper problem is that going public is one of two main ways for a company to gain capital effectively, and this study essentially shows that it's a deterrent to innovation, and therefore possibly to the economy.
Definitely. The options are limited. However, as silly as this sounds, crowdfunding is becoming more viable. While at the moment it accounts for next to nothing in terms of how much capital is being injected into companies, it's growing. Maybe in the distant future, or maybe it'll always be a niche.
