Abstract

The arguments usually put forward for the privatization of state enterprises have already been mentioned while discussing the neoclassical conception of property.

Efficiency gains can only be expected if the privatized enterprises work under hard budget constraints and if the decentralized principle of liability is applied. In market economies, the effect of privatization is thus linked to institutional prerequisites.
