Webinar
State-Owned Enterprises in Developed Market Economies since 2000
February 19, 2025 | 17:00 UTC+1
Webinar, organized by the University of Milano and CIRIEC, on the forthcoming book: State-Owned Enterprises in Developed Market Economies (edited by Chiara F. Del Bo, Massimo Florio, Marco Frigerio, and Daniela Vandone).
This Element offers a survey of various analytical frameworks on State Owned Enterprises (SOEs) from the perspective of applied welfare economics. The focus then shifts to a positive analysis of the comparative performance of private versus public enterprises, with a specific emphasis on SOEs in developed market economies over the past two decades; key metrics examined include profitability, productivity, internationalisation, innovativeness, and environmental sustainability. Overall, the Element aims to redefine a neglected research area in public economics, considering the new circumstances of the twenty-first century, where SOEs compete with other firms in developed market economies.
