Public Enterprises in Mixed Economies: Their Impact on Social Equity
Andong Zhu

This paper is based on a study attempting to improve on the existing research exploring the impact of SOEs (state owned enterprises) on income inequality by applying fixed effects techniques and utilizing a panel data set of more than 40 mixed economies for the time period from the 1960s all through till the 1990s. The results that show SOEs contribute significantly and positively to income equality raise serious concerns over the desirability of indiscriminate privatization from the perspective of long term growth and equity.
