Abstract
This study examines the determinants of performance in the U.S. software sector. The emergence of the software industry has been a world changing phenomenon and created a highly competitive market and a profitable investment field. Using panel regression analysis on a sample of 730 U.S. based software firms spanning the period from 1995 to 2017, this study finds that intangible assets and staff expenses have a statistically significant positive impact on the performance of software companies, as measured by their return on assets and return on equity, respectively.
