PRIVATIZATION AND ECONOMIC EFFICIENCY: A Comparative Analysis of Developed and Developing Countries

by Attiat F. Ott (Editor), Keith Hartley (Editor)

Privatization and Economic Efficiency assesses the economic content of many of the beliefs surrounding privatization. It develops a new and novel inter-disciplinary approach linking economic and organizational dimensions. A series of case studies examines the theory, evidence and policy experience of privatization in developed and developing nations. These studies focus on the UK, US, Egypt and Jamaica. The book concludes that privatization is an appealingly simple phrase concealing many difficulties and problems for analysts, researchers and policymakers.
