Abstract

Existe un amplio debate internacional y multidisciplinar en torno a los resultados de las privatizaciones acaecidas a lo largo de las dos últimas décadas. La evidencia empírica disponible en la literatura no parece confirmar los argumentos de carácter macro y microeconómico en relación con la privatización, ni tampoco ayuda a identificar cuáles son las mejores formas de privatizar. Por otro lado, algunos estudios recientes apuntan la posibilidad de que los agentes que intervienen en la privatización tomen decisiones del tipo "accounting choice" , en la medida en que ello les ayudaría a la maximización de la utilidad individual de las entidades a las que representan. El presente trabajo persigue comprobar, mediante los contrastes estadísticos pertinentes, y a partir de la utílización de un conjunto pre-seleccionado de ratíos fmancieros y contables, si la crisis de racionalidad que se pudiera haber producido con respecto al mantenimiento de las acciones de Seat en manos del INI, se vio resuelta con la privatización de la empresa. Por otra parte, y desde el punto de vista de la posible crisis de legitimidad asociada a la posible incompetencia del INI para resolver los problemas de Seat, estamos interesados en conocer si se produjo, antes o después de la privatización, alguna decisión de "elección contable" encaminada a devolver al Estado la legitimidad perdida.
