Abstract

(Disponible en idioma inglés únicamente) Este trabajo llena un vacío sobre el tema de los factores que determinan los precios de privatización, al concentrarse en un ramo de actividad a través de muchos países. Esto no se ha hecho anteriormente, ya que la obra publicada se ha concentrado únicamente en: (i) muchas industrias en un solo país, (ii) una sola industria en un país o (iii) muchas industrias en muchos países. Complementamos una base de datos dada a conocer recientemente con datos también recabados recientemente, y podemos cubrir 34 procesos de privatización en el sector de las telecomunicaciones, que representan casi 80% del sector en términos de valor. Nuestros hallazgos se corresponden con los de la escasa obra disponible sobre los precios de privatización, dado que nuestra mejor recomendación de políticas es principalmente concentrarse en la transparencia y limpieza del proceso de privatización, porque los métodos de venta sí importan. Mostramos que la administración gubernamental de los procesos de redimensionamiento laboral pueden traer como consecuencia una selección adversa, ya que los mejores trabajadores son los primeros en abandonar la empresa cuando tienen la oportunidad.
