, 2004 We study the evolution of the control structure of 141 privatized firms from OECD countries over the period from 1996 through 2000.

Canadian Public Policy / Analyse de Politiques, 1993
Privatization is never a simple matter of transferring public assets to the private sector, because elected politicians cannot afford to be market dependent.
