Abstract: A model is used to study the impact of ownership on productivity and wages. Data on private and public manufacturing in Turkey during the 1950-1998 period indicate that productivity is higher in the private sector.There is a close relationship between wages and productivity in the private sector; no such relationship exists in the public sector.
