State-Owned Enterprises in Developed Market Economies
Webinar, organized by UNIMI and CIRIEC on the book "State-Owned Enterprises in Developed Market Economies" - February 19, 2025 - 5pm-6:30pm CET

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.
