OWNERSHIP, COMPETITION AND PRODUCTIVITY GROWTH: THE IMPACT OF LIBERALISATION AND PRIVATISATION UPON BRITISH TELECOM

James Foreman-Peck

No 268372, Economic Research Papers from University of Warwick - Department of Economics

Abstract: Widespread public concern greeted the performance of British Telecom after liberalisation and privatisation, respectively under Acts of 1981 and 1984. This paper presents two methods of examining whether this dissatisfaction is warranted by comparison with what might have been expected from the earlier industry organisation. Both a total factor productivity approach and a small econometric model show that the regime change made little difference to efficiency growth
