Abstract:
Privatization processes present a multifaceted challenge, especially in countries with fragile market institutions. This article delves into the complex dynamics of privatization, emphasizing the importance of balancing different interests with a particular focus on the role of competition law. While asset maximization has traditionally dominated privatization discussions, this study advocates for a broader perspective that uses privatization to enhance market institutions. As a base study and drawing on the Brazilian experience of the steel sector privatization, the article unravels the consequences of partial privatizations and the risk of common ownership and interconnected influence through the State. Ultimately, the article contributes to a comprehensive understanding of privatization’s role in competitive markets and economic progress.

Abstract:
AbstractThe privatization of New York City's Central Park in 1998 was among the most high-profile municipal privatizations in the US during the 1990s. Since then, the park's privatization has been cited as an exemplary model of privatization. This essay develops a unique class approach to municipal privatization and uses it to reconceptualize Central Park's privatization. In doing so, it argues that the park's privatization involves an important contradiction—one that regards its ostensible status as one of the nation's most famous and treasured public goods against its production as a capitalist commodity. This class approach to the park's privatization yields four insights. First, it underscores the limitations of the hegemonic cost-efficiency calculus that has long informed the municipal privatization discourse. Second, it raises important questions regarding the troublesome relationship between democratic principles and capitalist production relations. Third, it offers an alternative to a wage-led approach to privatization. Finally, and paradoxically, it provides a framework for theorizing “progressive” privatizations.

Abstract:
Privatizations have an important role in the Brazilian media, representing opportunities and challenges on the financial market and the target of many investors and other stakeholders. This study includes the privatization’s concept from the neoclassical current, that the primary goals of companies is get and improve benefits and returns to their owners. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the behavior of the economic performance of Brazilian companies before and after the privatization. Then, was done a documentary and bibliographical research, beyondan exploratory and descriptive research, with quantitative analysis. The sample consisted of eight Brazilian companies privatized in the period from 1990 to 2005, outside the financial sector. Four performance indicators were analyzed two years before and two years after the privatization of companies: Economic Value Added (EVA), Market Value Added (MVA), Return On Assets (ROA) and Return On Equity (ROE). From the results it was found that the companies had higher economic performance after the privatization. This results corroborated with other studies.

Abstract:
Privatization seeks a number of objectives, often very different from the achievement of greater efficiency. Consequently, privatization takes many different forms. This paper considers privatization from a conceptual perspective and raises some implications for evaluating the privatization experience. Care must be taken to appraise privatizations with full recognition of their origin, structure and economic setting.

This study surveys the literature examining the privatization of state-owned enterprises (SOEs) We review the history of privatization, the theoretical and empirical evidence on the relative performance of state owned and privately owned firms, the types of privatization, if and by how much privatization has improved the performance of former SOEs in non-transition and transition countries, how investors in privatizations have fared, and the impact of privatization on the development of capital markets and corporate governance. In most settings privatization “works” in that the firms become more efficient, more profitable, and financially healthier, and reward investors.

Abstract:
AbstractDespite theoretical justifications and empirical evidence that state-owned enterprises have played an important role in late development, as well as over three decades of evidence that privatization programmes since the 1980s have had mixed results at best, international financial institutions continue prescribing privatization as a panacea for developing countries. Pakistan is an interesting case to understand why privatization is still considered desirable, because it is one of a set of developing countries that have whole-heartedly implemented Washington Consensus policies. In this context, we analyse privatization in two key economic sectors in Pakistan: energy and banking. Using qualitative and quantitative data, we describe the motivations behind these privatizations, the process by which they were carried out, and analyse the post-privatization performance of these organizations and sectors. We find that in both cases (a) the privatizations failed not only with respect to their stated aims, leading to a decline in national productive capabilities, but also had adverse distributional consequences, shifting the rewards to the buyers while the risks and costs remained with the public sector, and (b) the suboptimal outcomes of the privatizations went largely unchallenged aided by a prevalent neoliberal view amongst the country's economic policy makers and intelligentsia. Our analysis sheds new light on the process by which privatization in the absence of a state with the capacity to discipline business interests has enabled these interests to obtain state-sponsored rents without bringing any of the associated benefits for economic development.

Abstract:
Privatization of state-owned enterprises in low- and middle-income countries is regarded as an indispensable first step for the consolidation of national accounts, the development of financial markets, and the improvement of firms’ efficiency. However, privatizations may also have a relevant distributional impact, particularly in developing countries, where proceedings from privatization may be a sizable resource for redistribution. This article is a first attempt to investigate the relationship between privatization and income inequality, focusing on the role of democratic institutions. We find that an increase in privatization proceeds is correlated with a reduction in income inequality in countries where representative political institutions are mature.

Abstract:
Current privatization efforts dwarf all which have gone before. In general,the “less developed” nations, including peoples of the Muslim faith,seem to have attracted the advocates of privatization. Disturbing resultsare obtained when the substance and process of privatization are juxtaposedto the teaching of Islam.In certain cases, privatization may result in the transfer of wealth fromrelatively weak hands (i.e., from the debtor governments of the lessdeveloped nations) to relatively strong hands (i.e., consortia of intemationalentrepreneurs). Islam teaches the opposite: It recognizes the rightof the less able in the wealth of those who have greater ability or theopportunity to produce greater wealth (Mirakhor, 1989).The outcomes of privatization are important to peace and security.Consequently, the emergence of privatization as a cat’s paw in politicaldiscourse is not a good omen. For example, Abdelhak Benhamouda,Algeria’s labor leader, “opposes any privatizations undertaken on the‘back‘ of the workers and demanded (sic) ‘guarantees’ from the govemment”(AFX News, 1995).The article defines privatization and discusses its structural and operationalproblems in light of religious imperatives ...

Abstract:
Selling state-owned enterprises to the private sector has become a popular policy for governments all around the world. Chapter 1 provides an historical perspective on privatization, and it describes the objectives and the privatization techniques that have been adopted by many governments since the late 70s. The chapter then focuses on two important issues in the privatization debate, the underpricing of shares and the effect of ownership on performance. It reviews the most significant theoretical and empirical contributions to the analysis of these two issues, and it introduces the questions addressed in the remaining chapters of this dissertation. In Chapter 2 I consider a government that first privatizes a company and then competes for votes against a political opponent. The government's objective is to choose the price of shares and the level of promotional effort to maximize its total net revenues. After the sale of the company to the public there is an election and the two parties announce what expropriation rate they would implement if they win the political competition. I show that in this context it is optimal for the party in power in the first period to actively promote the sale and to underprice the stock with respect to its true value, in order to increase the size of the shareholders' interest group that will vote for the party announcing a low expropriation rate. In Chapter 3 I estimate the long-term impact of the British privatization program of the 70s, 80s, and 90s, on the government's finances. For a large sample of British companies that were privatized in the years 1979 to 1994, regression analysis shows no effect of change in ownership on company's gross profitability. This information is then combined with estimates of all relevant costs (implicit and explicit) and revenues for each sale, to assess the long-term effect of the privatization policies on the government's net worth. The results show that "Selling the State" generated considerable losses for the British Government.

This report examines the role of the privatization in Sri Lanka and assesses its effectiveness. The focus was given for the evolution of privatization and how socio-political factors such as rent-seeking, inconsistency policy making, market competition, political uncertainty and role of supporting institutions have affected the privatization process. After the independence in 1948, several reforms have been taken place in Sri Lanka. In 1977, a market oriented policy package which brought huge amount of foreign aids into the country was introduced. Further the privatization in Sri Lanka can be addressed as: Sporadic attempt, Systematic approach and Structured approach. The appointment of short-term governments and changing of the leadership has always been a hurdle for a successful privatization in Sri Lanka. In order to establish a successful privatization, it requires having the changing of ownership from public sector to private sector, creating a competitive market environment and forming a proper institutional framework. Unfortunately, due to less emphasis was given to the latter two factors: the privatization has always given undesirable outcomes. In the whole history of privatization in Sri Lanka, the highest value for Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) was recorded in 2008. It is clear that the reason for the FDI value escalation in 2008 is the improved confidence of foreign investors by addressing security concerns. In conclusion, it is time to investigate whether the current regulatory model is the most appropriate arrangement for the prevailing economic, social and cultural circumstances in Sri Lanka.

Abstract:
This collection of papers originates from my interest in the reform efforts in transitional economies. Each of the chapters is self-contained. Chapter one presents a brief literature survey of those schools of thought that have contributed to our knowledge about privatization. In chapter two, a public firm model and a private firm model are compared based on agency approach, assuming that the owner of a firm has cost information but also bears the cost of production. I find that the question which type of ownership, private or public, is superior does not have a clear cut answer. Private ownership may induce higher work effort but suffers from a discrepancy of private and social goals. While production distortion is less serious, an obvious disincentive to work exists in the public firm. Chapter three examines how privatization can be considered as a threat to stimulate a public firm manager's work incentive when his effort level cannot be observed by the government. I find that, in the case when commitment to privatize is impossible, the government will set a strictly positive wage rate and a strictly positive investment subsidy to signal the government's determination to implement the privatization policy. In chapter four, I examine the role that public investment plays in a financial market with a credit rationing problem. Two kinds of borrowers co-exist in the economy, namely the public and the private. Public borrowers enjoy a "first mover" advantage to borrow money from banks. In this situation, the credit rationing is found escalating. But since the success of a public project (owned by a public borrower) can exert positive externality on the productivity of private projects, the adverse effect induced by credit rationing can be alleviated. We show that if the quality of the public projects is good enough, the economic growth rate can be higher than the case without public projects in the economy.

Abstract:
This thesis was conducted to assess how the privatization of Iran Air process managed in last efforts and how should it be in right way. It increases the knowledge about privatization in Iran and the need for it. Iran air as our case study is a flag-carrier airline company that is protected by government regulations and subsidies. We try to find the reasons for failure of privatization in Iran Air and their attempt on privatization. The method used to collect data was a qualitative methodology, consisting of semi-structured interviews with relevant managers, and knowledgeable professors and the official sites and press. In conclusion, we find that privatization is an important need for Iran Air Company and the main problems that are against Iran Air can be categorized to political, financial, and social. The effects of political connections are most pronounced in countries with high levels of corruption. Iran’s level of corruption and law enforcement environment are lower than those are in developed countries. The root of financial problems of government and the company is the deficiency of liquidity to compensate the debts, but the share did not sell. The social problem arises from the uncertainty of the future of employees of going private company. Decreasing the level of corruption and increasing law enforcement in country are general solution for political problem. Preparing transparent financial statements and fair evaluation of share base price are our suggestion to Iran Air. The staff must be sure of their future. Social Security Organization and employment laws of country or any other response organization must protect them

Abstract:
Privatization, which is the most important component of neo-liberal policies since the 1980s, has been legitimized by the neo-liberal doctrine through a purely economic and technical terminology. Contrary to this, this thesis maintains that privatization is a highly political process, shaped by intertwined class- and identity-based interests in different countries. To support this argument, the thesis makes a comparative analysis of the privatizations of large-scale state economic enterprises in Turkey in the 2000s, namely Petrol Ofisi, TÜ
PRAS, ERDEMIR, Tü
rk Telekom and PETKIM, as part of the neo-liberal transformation of the Turkish state. It concludes that the privatizations of large-scale SEEs in Turkey represent typical examples to what David Harvey terms as &ldquo
accumulation by dispossession&rdquo
throughout which wealth has been transferred from the laboring classes to capital by the active involvement of the state though the Turkish experience has its own historical specificities. Political preferences made by governments in charge since the late 1990s in general and by the Islamist AKP government after 2002 in particular have to be understood to make sense of these specificities.

Abstract:
Military personnel are faced with having to move every three to four years, making it extremely difficult to build any equity in a home when they are forced to refinance their loan every time they buy and sell their home. This continuous churn of home loans over a 20 year career, results in military personnel ending their career with little equity in a home because they have primarily only paid the high interest portions of the loans to financial institutions and any equity gained from rising home prices is offset by closing costs. This research will review the current approaches to housing for military personnel, develop the stakeholders needs, propose new approaches to meet these needs, analyze these new approaches and identify the recommended new approaches. The major players in military home purchases have been the service member, Department of Defense, local real estate services, and financial institutions. Local real estate services and financial institutions are currently the groups benefiting from the churn of homes by service members so they have no obvious incentive to change. The research will break down the resources of each of these players and align them with new approaches to real estate. The new approaches listed below will establish the need for large property management/developers that have purchasing powers within the real estate markets similar to Wal-Mart/Sams Club within the consumer goods market. With the military base realignment and closure almost complete, Department of Defense looking to get out of the housing business and the military clearly at a low manning level, the markets are now primed for this transformation. New approaches include planned communities that are built specifically for military personnel and owned by the corporation. These communities can be strategically located near the bases (real estate values are often low adjacent to military bases), constructed according to the Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) rate for each location, constructed for frequent resident moves, service contracts for maintenance, utilities maintained by corporation and then billed directly to residents, community center geared toward spouse and military activities and key business (veterinarian, pet boarding, video store, coffee shops, restaurants, military gear store, etc). If the corporation owned 2000 houses, there would be 4000 members with 30 year loans to maintain the equity for the homes.

Abstract:
This research essay is intended to examine the link between privatization and development in Thailand . It found that privatization in Thailand can come in many forms. The government has tried to bring the private sector to participate in infrastructural development to help relieve the government's financial burdens. But it appeared that privatization still has a small role in national development through infrastructural development This is because the government does not have a clear policy to define the role of the private sector and the public sector in this issue. In addition , Thailand's experience in bringing the private sector to participate in infrastructural development through the methods such as BTO(build-transfer-operate) and BOT(build-operate-transfer) has caused many problems which have had an adverse effect on many projects. The paper found that the state still retains its role as the developmental state . This can be seen from the fact that the state has no intention to divest state enterprises which it considers as important. Furthermore, state enterprises will continue to play a major role in national development . However, the trend of state enterprises in Thailand will move towards corporatization and commercialization in which more state enterprises will change their status to state-owned companies and focus on commercialization with a view to increasing their efficiency through competition with the private sector.

Abstract:
This study basically examines the Soviet Regime’s former hinterland transition economies. In a globalized world these countries face with some major problems with their cumbersome public sector. Many countries have initiated to privatize state-owned enterprises aim of which is to improve the standard of living their citizens and to achieve a higher growth rate. As known, privatization plays an important role in reducing the role of government in society. In this sense, this study will analyze the process of privatization in Transition Economies. The main methodological way of this study is based on a broad literature review. In this sense, some basic articles and data will be the main source of this paper. Our study consists of two parts; while the identification of privatizations will be pointed out in the first part of study, transition economics will be the main subject of the second part. It is concluded that privatizations in which transition economies do not have the same results in the process of planned economy which is based on commanded economy. It will also be discussed that the process of privatization differs from one country to another. In this regard, our study will argue that why some countries such as Hungary and Czech Republic which are members of Europe Union are easily and fast integrate to international system in the sense of privatization.

Abstract:
In the 1970s, as a result of oil shocks, Keynesian policies were replaced by neoclassical economic policies, and the liberation movements had the opportunity to be widely implemented at the country level. In this context, developing countries are aiming to increase productivity by transferring large amount of investment responsibilities to the private sector. As a matter of fact, State Economic Enterprises, which are State Economic Enterprises, have started to be taken into the scope of privatization. Turkey also, along with the decisions of January 24 was declared in 1980 he joined the current liberalization, privatization moves are especially important after 2003 were carried out. Globalized economy and began following the introduction of economic liberalization and opening-up policy in 1980, the privatization process in Turkey has brought in. In the process, privatization policies have been adopted in order to abandon the protectionism and statism approach adopted since 1977 and to provide a more competitive environment. Continued privatization process gradually starting in 1990 in Turkey and reached until 2018. The Turkish Sugar Factories, whose privatization process has already begun, have become a star in privatization in 2018. They are as common as those who think the customization process is necessary. In this study, the effects of privatization of Turkish Sugar Factories on Turkish economy and Turkish food market will be tried to be investigated.

Abstract:
The process of transition in Serbia has entered its third decade. Transition implies a break with the former economic pattern and appropriate to it institutional environment, i.e. the transition from one form of economic and social system (non- market or insufficiently market and totalitarian, i.e. populist) into another, completely different system (market and democratic). The privatization process is an important aspect of the transition of the economy from the public to the private sector. The paper focuses on the position and rights of employees during the privatization process and the consequences that privatization can have on the employees of companies that are being privatized, but also on the economy and the market in general. The paper lists the basic models of privatization, with an emphasis on the period after 2000. The most common causes and reasons for employee strikes were analyzed middle classes before, during and after the privatization of the company. The role is indicated unions in privatization and new forms of organizing dissatisfied strikers and participants in public protests. The paper will provide an insight into the negative outcomes of privatization according to the issue of employee rights, but also to show the positive effects not only for employees in privatized companies bur also more widely. The most important negative effects of privatization in Serbia could be reduced to the following:massive loss of jobs, increasing prevalence of precarious work, growth unemployment and poverty of citizens, marginalization of the importance and role of trade unions organizing. The faster the privatization, the more ineffective the strikes became. The positive effects are generally less numerous than the negative ones, but not the same negligible and represent novelties characteristic of a market-oriented society and pursuit of profit.

Abstract:
This paper offers a novel conceptual framework to understand and evaluate privatization in the development and delivery of public spaces. Private influences are deployed to produce public spaces in many different ways, but current discourse tends to address this phenomenon through a somewhat narrow lens, typically limited to privately owned public space. This project complicates the existing narrative of privatization and public space, to counter an overly reductive and oft-perceived binary, between publicly owned and privately owned public spaces, that does not adequately represent the myriad ways privatization practices impact public space. Our analysis, developed through case study research, offers a conceptual model to explain and evaluate the impact of privatization on contemporary public space networks. It operates on two levels. First, a set of partnership models distills the many public-private partnerships represented by a series of public space case studies into five core strategies. Second, a set of contextual variables relates the methods of privatization to the social, spatial, political, economic, and material contexts they inhabit. Intended as a resource for designers, planners, and researchers, this paper describes an intuitive framework for understanding privatization and the many avenues for engagement in public space design and delivery.

Liberal economic order, businesses efficiency, productivity and profitability, competition for work is present in accordance with the principles defended private property order. As sistematical the main foundations of economic liberalism created by Adam Smith. Then, his prenciples developed by evolving Classic School, continued to the sovereignty until the Great Depression of 1929. I.World War took place in an environment dominated by Classical Ekol During, and after the war, from the principles of Classical School had not doubt. In 1936, John Maynard Keynes, the basic assumptions of the classical school refused. Following the II. World War; the 1950s and 1960s,sounds of the proponents of the liberal principles, was not strong as much as Keynesians. In the 1970s, emerged the world's most developed economy ABD, the high unemployment and inflation. Until 1973, wasn’t confronted with a serious crisis. Content of the neo-liberal economic policies between 1975-1980 was adopted. Since the 1980s, heavily affecting the world economy started to implement neoliberal policies. Acceleration of privatization, taxes, discounts for large scale unemployment, increase monetary measures to keep inflation under control was applied. In this article, on eight chapters were created. In the chapters, concept, scope and content, historical background of privatization, investigated material causes that give rise to privatization, the basic bases of privatization, the ideological foundations of privatization. Privatization aims were discussed, and was given examples of countries is characterized by intense privatization. The general results and in Turkey latests cases were discussed.

Abstract:
This paper studies the link between the political and institutional context and privatization sales prices. The latter serves as a measure for assessing the relative performance of the privatization goals. Whereas this link has been studied theoretically, there are very few, if any, empirical papers on this relationship. Using data from 308 privatizations around the world and applying a cross-country approach (including instrumental variables), we find that, while the overall political regime does not matter much for prices, the political processes beyond the basic regime do matter. Institutional context also produces a significant impact on prices. Both results are robust to changes in specification.

Abstract:
Should state-owned enterprises change chief executive officer before privatizing? We test competing views on this question by complementing a recently released database with newly collected data. We are able to cover 77 telecommunications privatizations, which account for nearly 80 percent of the sector in terms of value. We find that CEO replacement will improve performance in the telecommunications industry before privatization as measured by penetration, operating efficiency, and profitability. CEO change before privatization does appear to have real consequences in firm performance before privatization. Moreover, findings are consistent with previous research that links CEO replacement and an increase in privatization prices

Abstract:
This paper fills a void in the issue of determinants of privatization prices by concentrating in one industry across many countries. This has not been done before, as the literature has only focused on (i) many industries in one country, (ii) a single industry in one country, and (iii) many industries in many countries. We complement a recently released database with newly collected data, and we are able to cover 84 telecommunications privatizations, which account for nearly 80 percent of the sector in terms of value. Our findings are consistent with the little existing work on privatization prices, as our best policy prescription is primarily to concentrate on the transparency and cleanliness of the privatization process, as sale methods do matter. We show that government administration of labor downsizing may result in adverse selection, as the best workers are the first to leave when given the opportunity.

Abstract:
Over the last 20 years, Mexico redefined the role of the state in its economy through an ambitious program to liberalize trade, promote efficiency and reduce the size and scope of the state-owned sector. In Mexico, privatization led to a significant improvement in firm performance, as profitability increased 24 percentage points and converged to levels similar to those of private firms. From this increase, at most 5 percent can be attributed to higher prices and 31 percent to transfers from workers, with the remaining 64 percent representing productivity gains. There is evidence that privatization provides other social benefits, as greater access to services, which usually follows privatization, leads to welfare gains for the poorest consumers that outweigh any increase in prices. Moreover, an often-overlooked aspect of privatization is its fiscal impact, whereby the proceeds from the sale are augmented by reduced subsidies and increased taxes and can help pay off debt or finance social spending. The Mexican privatization program can provide a valuable guide to privatization dos and donts: First, the privatization process must be carefully designed and run in a transparent way. Special requirements such as bans on foreign direct investment or cash-only payments lead to substantial price discounts for firms sold, while simplicity breeds competition and leads to higher prices. A transparent program can also help quell the tendency of politicians to favor their friends by tweaking the rules of the game. Second, restructuring firms prior to privatization is counterproductive in raising net sale prices and should be avoided. Governments spend substantial resources on politically motivated investment or efficiency programs that are not valued by bidders and which can rarely be justified on the social ground on which they are sold. Additionally, restructuring programs lengthen the privatization process considerably and lower prices for firms sold in the case of Mexico, each month of delay reduced the sale price by 2.2 percent. Finally, this paper argues that it is essential to carefully deregulate and re-regulate privatized firms to ensure that they behave appropriately as well as to provide a corporate governance framework to ensure firms are able to finance their operations without relying on the Government for help.
