摘要：

We present a game-theoretical model of privatization in transition economies. We consider the costs and benefits of government ownership and derive the net effect of government ownership on firm performance. Model predictions are consistent with empirical evidence in the literature. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
