| Title: | | Privatization and local government reform in Germany: A slow train  |
| Authors: | | Schmidt, Klaus-Dieter |
| Issue Date: | | 1998 |
| Series/Report no.: | | Kiel Working Papers 891 |
| Abstract: | | The paper investigates the recent trends in privatization by local government organizations in Germany. It comes to the conclusion that the privatization policy has been two-directional: on the one hand, municipalities have reduced their economic activities, mainly by different forms of contracting out; on the other hand, they have expanded them into profitable fields. In many cases they have preferred a phantom privatization: government bodies have only been transferred into a private-law establishment. The paper examines the barriers to privatization and provides a strategy to overcome them. |
