Theoretical perspectives -- The British privatization program.
摘要:This comprehensive analysis of British privatization program offers insights into recent policies on privatization, competition, and regulation in a country that has by far the greatest experience with this growing worldwide phenomenon. The process of selling assets and enterprises to the private sector raises theoretical questions about natural monopolies, the efficiency and equality of state-owned versus privately owned enterprises, and industrial policy. Privatization explores these questions both theoretically and empirically.
