The Privatization Process:
A Worldwide Perspective
Terry L. Anderson and Peter J. Hill, Editors
Many economies are actively engaging in rapid privatization of state assets using a variety of procedures, some successful and some not. In this volume, several noted authorities on institutions and institutional reform analyze the prerequisites for successful privatization, the path of reform in different economies, and the degree to which various equity and efficiency goals are met by alternative mechanisms. Various chapters look at the creation of rights to land on the Brazilian frontier, New Zealand's experiment with institutional reform, China's attempt to decollectivize agriculture and spontaneous privatization in the formerly Communist countries.
Terry L. Anderson is the executive director of PERC and a professor of economics at Montana State University. Peter J. Hill is a PERC senior associate and a professor of economics at Wheaton College.

Founded 30 years ago in Bozeman, Montana, PERC—the Property and Environment Research Center—is the nation’s oldest and largest institute dedicated to improving environmental quality through property rights and markets.
PERC’s publications, each designed to resonate with specific groups, move ideas generated at PERC to broader audiences.
Research is at the heart of PERC's work, with a focus on the question: What is the link between economic growth and environmental quality?
The goal of PERC’s programs is to fully realize the vision of establishing “PERC University,” where scholars, students, policy makers, and others convene to expand the applications of free market environmentalism.
PERC's fellowships share a common goal of exposing new scholars, students, journalists, and policy makers to free market environmentalism, as well as enable scholars already familiar with FME to explore new applications.
PERC continues to publish and present a broad range of research and discussion through podcasts, videos, and other multimedia channels.
