Les privatisations

Privatization is an old phenomenon but with important changes for the ten last years. According to the movement observed in practice, since the end of the nineties, researches are focused on privatizations in emergent countries and (or) outgoing of a planned and centralized economy. Privatizations currently carried out in the OECD countries relate to companies acting on regulated sectors, often in position of monopoly, and cause a literature centered on the problems of the search for an optimal regulation which we will not approach here.
