IMPACTS OF PRIVATISATION POLICY IN EUROPE

Kenneth Button and Thomas Weyman‐jones

Contemporary Economic Policy, 1994, vol. 12, issue 4, 23-33

Abstract: This paper examines the economic implications of the privatisation that has been occurring in Europe. Different sectors and different countries have developed separately, but policymakers can learn common lessons. Considerable experience of privatisation has produced a mounting body of empirical evidence. Developing more powerful analytical tools also permits greater rigour in studying the behaviour of newly privatised undertakings. This paper examines the nature of privatisation processes and looks at the forms of adjustment to regulatory regimes that have occurred to accommodate the newly privatised undertakings. It draws upon new empirical evidence and previous econometric studies to consider privatisation's efficiency effects, especially regarding technical or X‐efficiency.1
