Literature Review of Public and Private Ownership: Strengths and Weaknesses

Motasam Tatahi

Chapter 3 in Privatisation Performance in Major European Countries Since 1980, 2006, pp 52-81 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Having examined the various privatisation theories in the previous chapter, I now move on to review empirical case studies on public and private enterprises, making comparisons and determining their strengths and weaknesses. A review of the literature on the relationship between public and private enterprise and their relative performance that followed the wave of privatisation shows an enormous number of works in this field. The number of publications increases sharply if government and consultancy papers as well as books are added. Fine (1997a: 376) reports that more than 3,000 articles have been found in academic journals over the previous few years.
