The data permit us to describe the post-privatization ownership structure and to estimate the effect of Romania's diverse privatization policies on firm performance. Applying OLS and fixed-effects methods to a variety of specifications, we find consistently positive, highly significant effects of private ownership on labor productivity growth, the point estimates implying an additional 1.5 to 1.9 percentage growth for an increase of 10 percent in the private shareholding. The strongest estimated impacts arise from sales to outside foreign and domestic blockholders, but insider transfers and voucher privatization are also estimated to have positive, although much smaller, effects on firm performance. \n SEQUENCE:1 X-APPLE-TRAVEL-ADVISORY-BEHAVIOR:AUTOMATIC SUMMARY:IZA Seminar: Privatization, Ownership Structure, and Firm Performance: New Evidence from the Romanian Experiment by �lmos Telegdy (Corvinus University of Budapest) DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20030506T000000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Berlin:T000000 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
