More generally, secure property rights critical to economic development and political stability.
Benefits seem to outweigh the costs in most, but not all settings (Netter and Megginson 2005)

But Everyone hates privatization
Majorities in every post-communist country prefer revising privatization to keeping the status quo

Individual attitudes towards revising privatization
“In your opinion, what should be done with most privatized companies? They should be…
1. Left in the hands of current owners with no change
2. Renationalized and kept in state hands3. Renationalized and then re-privatized again using
a more transparent process4. Left in the hands of current owners provided they
pay privatized assets’ worth.”

Interpreting the Data
Eighty percent of respondents favor revising privatization in some way…
A Majority in every country favor revising privatization in some way
![Page 11: Tim Frye tmf2@Columbia.edu. Motivation Privatization – central element of reforms in the last 25 years from Mexico to Indonesia to Kyrgyzstan More generally,](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649ce35503460f949afc62/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
But…
Less than a third favor having privatized assets ultimately reside in state hands
Inappropriate to equate opposition to privatization with support for nationalization
![Page 12: Tim Frye tmf2@Columbia.edu. Motivation Privatization – central element of reforms in the last 25 years from Mexico to Indonesia to Kyrgyzstan More generally,](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649ce35503460f949afc62/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Who supports expropriation?
Even if we consider support for expropriation, that is
renationalize or reprivatize == 46%
Versus
pay tax or leave in hands of current owners == 53%

Part II. WhyMacro Level ExplanationsNot type of privatization (although badly
measured)
Voucher/non-voucher, sales versus giveaways
Weak evidence that early privatizers have less opposition

Not Economic PerformanceNot Economic performance
E.g., economic growth and inflation rates unrelated
Not surprisingHard for economists to pinpoint effects
Privatization policies differ Non-random selection of firms into privatization
Politicians among others exaggerate costs and benefits of privatization

Privatization Paradox
Even beneficiaries of privatization don’t like it.World Bank 2005
But See Di Tella (2010)

Institutions Matter on AverageAverage citizen in more democratic and
better governed countries expresses less opposition to expropriating privatized property in postcommunist world.
![Page 18: Tim Frye tmf2@Columbia.edu. Motivation Privatization – central element of reforms in the last 25 years from Mexico to Indonesia to Kyrgyzstan More generally,](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649ce35503460f949afc62/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
For some groups institutions matter a great deal
• Under democracy high skilled more strongly oppose revising privatization
(low skilled equally opposed under autocracy and democracy)
Interact Democracy with Market SkillsControl for individual level variablesAnd extent of privatization and country wealth

Preference for or against revision of
privatization:
Reason: Superior
property type
Reason: Fairness of
privatization
• Older, less skilled, and less healthy are in favor of privatization revision and have preference for state property (losses from wage decompression)
• Education level increases the sense of unfairness
• Assets, wealth, and income => against revision and prefer private property; relative income => unfairness (the richest are not in the sample)

Part III. What is to be done?Is privatization unpopular because of the
process of privatization?
Can privatized assets be made more legitimate after privatization?
![Page 26: Tim Frye tmf2@Columbia.edu. Motivation Privatization – central element of reforms in the last 25 years from Mexico to Indonesia to Kyrgyzstan More generally,](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649ce35503460f949afc62/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Legitimacy of initial distribution of property unimportant
“They (factory managers) steal and steal and steal. They are stealing absolutely everything and it is impossible to stop them. But let them steal and take their property. They will then become owners and decent administrators of this property.”
Anatolii Chubais, Head of State Committee on Property of the Russian Federation.

An Alternative View: Legitimacy matters
“This golden watch remains mine only as long as everybody around me agrees that it really belongs to me. If 90% of my neighbors should think different, I wouldn’t be able to sleep soundly anymore.”
Anonymous Banker in Russia

A Survey Experiment on Privatization Let’s say that an industrial firm was privatized in the mid-1990s. After privatization, the managers of the firm invested [almost none/a great deal] of their own capital in the modernization and restructuring of their firm and they have provided [no/many] social programs for the development of the region. It turns out that the firm was privatized with [minor/major] violations of the Law on Privatization. Do you believe that this matter should be turned over to the courts?
1. Yes 2. More or less Yes 3. More or Less No 4. No If the respondents answered “yes” or “more less yes” then the interviewers asked: What steps should the judge take in this matter?
1) Firm should be returned to state ownership 2) Firm should be privatized to new owners 3) The guilty should pay a significant fine 4) The guilty should pay a small fine 5) Since so much time has passed nothing should be done

Results from Survey Experiment
Public goods provision can increase legitimacy of property rights, but …
Only 20 percent of respondents know which firms are providing public goods to the community.
![Page 35: Tim Frye tmf2@Columbia.edu. Motivation Privatization – central element of reforms in the last 25 years from Mexico to Indonesia to Kyrgyzstan More generally,](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649ce35503460f949afc62/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Other Results
On its own good use of an asset has little effect on the legitimacy of privatization. No Sweat Equity effect.
Process Matters. More severe violations provoke more opposition to privatization.

Conclusion1990’s era of privatization, 2000’s era of
renationalization
Algeria, Bolivia, Chad, Dubai, Ecuador, Kazakhstan, Russia, Ukraine, Senegal, Venezuela, Zimbabwe and elsewhere
Why so few renationalizations?Is threat of renationalization sufficient?Spillover effects of renationalization

Optimistic NoteMuch opposition from those without market
skillsShould ease over timeOlder workers with market skills oppose
privatization significantly less
Opposition from losses during transitionShould also ease over time
Support for private property is relative high, even as support for privatization is low

many unique features – essentially a political project
In some respects, privatization today has more economic basis
