“Fundamental” Privatization Theorem: The Ideology, Evolution, Practice
Abstract
The article analyzes the evolution of modern theoretical approaches to selecting of the optimal form of property and related assessment of privatization in the context of the strengths and weaknesses of the public and private sectors. The different interpretations of the “fundamental” privatization theorem are discussed — through “principal-agent” approach, a comparison of the structure of information flows, the combination of property and contract rights, taking into account the socio-political factors, etc. The authors analyze recent policy trends of privatization in Russia for 2010—2013 in the context of the “reluctant privatization” and the asymmetry of the processes of nationalization and privatization. Key words: privatization, government failures, public policy, public choice, allocative efficiency, information.
