AbstractRegarding the effectiveness of privatization, two schools of thought are distinguished: a school in favor of privatization in general and a school that judges the success of privatization to be dependent on the institutional context. This article discusses the arguments of both schools and presents a case study on the privatization processes that did take place in Kosovo. The Kosovo case is a critical case as Kosovo was a post-conflict country with a deplorable institutional setting at the time it initiated the privatization processes.

Abstract Metro Manila's water privatization is one of the world's largest and longest-running privatization programs for a water utility. While traditional efficiency metrics show significantly improved service levels under this schema, local anti-privatization activists maintain that the program does not benefit the urban poor. Assessments from an equity lens offer a fresh perspective, using information from a consumer survey of 53,733 residential households, privatization reports, and field interviews. Results show that access and affordability remain critical concerns for impoverished urban

According to previous studies, privatization of SOEs leads to significant efficiency improvements. However, recent studies reported that privatization does not have a significant efficiency improvement effect. This paper analyses the change in efficiency of 117 privatized companies in 31 countries from 1980 to 2010. Among the three indicators used as indicators of efficiency: cost per unit, earnings before interest and taxes per employee, and total asset turnover, the one that showed a clear improvement was the total asset turnover. Meanwhile, cost per unit deteriorated significantly, but then

Abstract:

In the 1980s public policy shifted sharply in favor of market-based solutions, in contrast to the previously dominant “Keynesian” approach to economic management. A number of countries, irrespective of their regimes or stages of development, are currently implementing programs designed to reduce the size and scope of the public sector and strengthen the market. The privatization of public enterprises constitutes a key element in such a strategy.1 Yet hitherto, the extent of privatization—the number of enterprises involved as well as the scale of divestiture—has been extremely limited, especial

Abstract:

Despite being one of the most fundamental issues in political economy, the question of the appropriate boundary between public and private enterprise received relatively little attention in mainstream economic analysis until quite recently. In the 1980s, however, programs of ownership reform were started in many developed and developing countries. Dramatic though some of these policies have been, they are likely to be overshadowed in the 1990s by even greater privatization in the reforming socialist economies.

Abstract: Privatization generally is defined as the process of transfer of ownership, it can also be permanent or just for the years for which a particular contracted has been drafted between the parties. It is basically a route from public ownership to private ownership. On the other side it is also a strategy that provides advantage to a few at the price of many. In the 1960's and 1970's academicians, economists and politicians favored state ownership over personal possession within the production and provision of products and services.

Abstract:

Privatization—defined here as the transfer of ownership of state-owned organizations to private parties—has attracted the attention of scholars across multiple fields. Privatization programs have been based on the assumption, grounded in microeconomic theory, that a shift from public to private ownership will incentivize more efficient management of available resources. However, failure to deliver the expected outcomes in some cases and the more nuanced perspective on state-ownership offered by recent research in management seem to challenge this assumption, calling for revisiting this literat

Abstract Starting with policy changes in the 1980s, Medicare has largely become privatized, with nearly 40 percent of beneficiaries enrolled in private Medicare Advantage plans and another 30 percent with private supplemental coverage, including for prescription drug coverage.

Beneficiaries are faced with a confusing array of plans and coverage options when they enroll, and are expected to choose a new plan every year.

Abstract Privatization has grown exponentially, both in salience and in form, over the past several decades. This shifting of administrative authority away from the state can make it difficult for program recipients to link their use of a federal program back to government, a disconnect known as “submerging” the state. However, privatization is a process that occurs in degrees, and not all privatization initiatives look alike. This study leverages variation in the implementation of Medicaid managed care, which is the most widespread form of Medicaid privatization, to examine how privatization

Abstract:

The empirical literature on mass privatization in the postcommunist context emphasizes the preferences and power of interest groups in order to account for the design of privatization. This approach has been consistent with mainstream theories of property rights formation that focus on the self-interested, rationally calculated pursuit of wealth and/or power as the motivation behind the development of new ownership arrangements. Absent from these theories, however, are the ideological and cognitive components in the creation of property rights systems. This lacuna is extremely problematic when

This makes mass privatization all the more critical. The primary goal of mass privatization plan should be to create well-functioning market economy, which is best achieved by selling

This efficiency assessment of Libyan manufacturing firms is unique as efficiency is assessed on a developing country that undertakes privatization primarily for political and organizational reasons. Moreover, the state of mixed results in the literature with regards to production efficiency between state-owned and private-owned firms motivated the conduct of this study. Despite deliberate implementation of programs to improve efficiency, the situation in Libya was such that firms were able to improve their performance through internal efforts even in a negative environment.

Abstract:

Leaders use the distribution of economic rents to maintain the political support of regime elites. When countries join International Monetary Fund (IMF) programs, they are often required to implement a variety of free market-inspired reforms—such as privatization, reductions in government spending, and the restructuring of financial institutions—as a condition for receiving program funds. These types of reforms can diminish a leader’s capacity to redistribute wealth, which ultimately increases the risk of a coup. More specifically, when a leader begins the implementation of an IMF arrangement,

Abstract:

In the 1990s and early 2000s, government privatization and austerity programs served as the cornerstone of free market reforms implemented throughout the developing world. The selling off of government utilities, resources, and services laid the groundwork for a highly contested battleground in the global South over social and economic distribution. This study examines the sequencing of campaigns against neoliberal reforms in Central America. Two successful movement campaigns against privatization in El Salvador and Costa Rica followed failed collective attempts to impede similar economic refo

Abstract:

In the discussion of privatization of public education, there is little evidence on how competition among schools affects program quality. Jewish supplementary schooling is one network in which parents have total freedom to select the school of their choice. This article examines the dynamics of competition among four such programs during a 5-year period. Some competitive strategies reduced program demands, but others reinforced quality, though that term is problematic in this setting. The least intensive, least expensive program did not undercut the other programs in the long run, but did spu

Abstract This presentation will analyze the growing precarity of life for older Americans emanating from austerity budgets and privatization of public services. As governments at every level continue to look for ways to reduce social and health spending and cut taxes they are also pursuing privatization through contracts with for-profit firms to provide regulated social and health services. The presentation will discuss how these trends toward greater precarity in old age relate to Streecks’ concept of the Consolidation State in Western neoliberal political economies.

Abstract:

Productivity improvement programs in the public sector have recently become a popular topic of concern among both academics and practitioners. Many methods of productivity enhancement programs have been discussed ranging from the privatization of services to improved management training. This article describes how a behaviorally-based management training program was used to increase employee productivity in a large city department. The results show that nonmonetary rewards can substantially increase employee performance. Group earned time off, individual employee time off, and goal setting and

Abstract:

Since the late nineteenth century, American employers have relied on a program of welfare capitalism to deflect incursions into the workplace from the regulatory state or organized workers. Welfare capitalism encompasses social welfare benefits and health, safety, or leisure programs offered through the workplace—programs established and directed by the employer. In periods of labor upheaval and political social reform, American firms have relied on workplace social welfare as a private, managerial response to political pressure from the state and workers—particularly when workers sought to us

Recently, Saudi Arabia is undergoing major privatization and Public Private Partnership (PPP) projects, as guided by the Saudi National Transformation Program (NTP) 2020 and the Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, attempting to shift the oil-based economy toward more diverse and sustainable economy. The main purpose of the paper is to empirically examine the aviation-led growth hypothesis for Saudi Arabia by testing causality between civil aviation and economic development, applying econometric tests such as Granger causality tests for the time period from 1975 to 2011.

Abstract:

The corporate governance issue in Macedonian companies has been brought forward during the recent few years. The main reason is the fact that the privatization process completion of socially-owned and partly state-owned enterprises has put emphasis to the challenge to reasonably regulate relationships established within companies on one hand, and relationships between companies and larger society on the other. All market economies, including those with longest tradition, have faced this kind of challenge so far. Corporate governance becomes an increasingly important issue for the Macedonian ec

The recent history of planning for the transport sector in New Zealand offers interesting comparisons with parallel developments in the United States under the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991. Over the past decade, both nations have undergone a major reconstruction of the legal and political apparatus of transportation planning. In each case, this restructuring reflected two potentially contradictory sets of goals: (a) to rationalize and improve the efficiency of transportation planning, thereby enhancing economic development and (b) to systematically mitigate transpor
