dc.description.abstractWe construct and analyze a unique database with 1992-99 information on privatizationtransactions and labor productivity for the entire surviving population of initially state-ownedindustrial corporations in Romania. The data permit us to describe the post-privatizationownership structure and to test the effect of alternative privatization policies on firmperformance in a panel framework. The results of OLS, LAD, and fixed-effects estimationsconsistently show a positive, highly significant effect of private ownership share on the leveland growth of labor productivity, the estimates ranging from 13 to 32 log points for the level,and 9 to 16 for productivity growth. The strongest estimated impacts arise from sales toforeign and domestic blockholders, but insider and mass privatization are also estimated tohave positive, although smaller, impacts on firm performance.en
