Zusammenfassung
Using a sample of 55 Spanish privatised firms in the period 1985-2003, we analyse whether the identity of the main shareholder influences on post-privatisation firms� performance. After controlling for possible sample selection bias related to the government�s choice of firm method of privatisation, the results suggest that when State is not the main shareholder an improvement in firms� efficiency seems to take place. In addition, the industry competitiveness seems to play an important role in the success of privatisation as post-privatisation improvements take place in competitive sectors.
