Abstract: This paper develops a model of the decision to privatize state-owned enterprises. The model highlights important variables for the government to consider in making privatization decisions. The model is then employed to show that, even when the state's objective is to maximize economic growth and privately owned firms invest less than the state does, the case against privatization is not clear-cut.
