| Summary/Abstract |
This article is based on a micro-level village study in
Kerala, the southernmost Indian state with its long-standing
impressive basic indicators in health, economic growth and social
development. Using the theoretical perspective of ‘cultural inflation
of morbidity’ for a hypothesis of continuing inequities in health
outcomes, it examines how far such impressive basic indicators have
actually translated into equity in health outcomes, defined in terms
of incidence of morbidity and morbidity pattern. Confirming the
hypothesis, the findings discuss to what extent both caste and gender,
separately and together, may be continuing today to mediate health
outcomes in a changing socio-economic environment.

| Summary/Abstract |
Finmeccanica is the eighth largest arms manufacturer on a world scale. The article explains and discusses its recent evolution. In particular, we discuss the broader privatisation programme implemented by the government as a response to the 1992 financial crisis. Finally, we will present our conclusions on how the interplay of domestic factors and external pressures accounts for Finmeccanica's peculiar trends. This result, especially Finmeccanica's performance, is the consequence of a deep transformation occurred in the past 10-15?years in both the industrial base and national defence policy. The two processes appear to be somehow interrelated.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article examines a case study of one industry in order to explore the factors influencing changing performance levels in the industries of post-socialist economies. It explores the influence on industrial performance of a number of once-only non-repetitive factors of market development that were typical of the transition period and compares them with longer term aspects of the market economy. The case that we discuss here is the development of the market for products of the Hungarian printing industry since the late 1980s. During the transition phase, privatisation, deregulation, the abolition of administrative distribution, and radical cuts in subsidies were all among the factors affecting this industry. Its supply chains also changed radically. However, these lost their importance after the transition had been completed and the long term processes of technical development and consumer behaviour became the main determinants of the behaviour of the printing companies.

| Summary/Abstract |
Using survey data from the Afrobarometer, we document that respondents who live in areas where more people report having paid a bribe to access household services are more likely to have access to electricity. The existing literature suggests three mechanisms that could explain why more corruption increases access to electricity. Corruption could incentivize firms to operate in the shadow economy and facilitate them doing so. Corruption could reduce enforcement of the law for electricity theft. Finally, corruption could lower firms’ costs by allowing them to reduce the burden of red tape and or ignore standards. The data do not support the first two of these mechanisms suggesting that corruption is “greasing the wheels” for firms in the electricity sector. Supporting this conclusion is the fact that this relationship between corruption and access is only statistically significant in countries where the ease of getting electricity is low and there is private participation in the electricity sector.

| Summary/Abstract |
India's economic growth gained momentum after the ushering in of liberalisation, privatisation and globalisation and most economic and social indicators improved. This scenario was jolted by the global fi nancial and economic crisis of 2007-08. CD Balaji and S Praveen Kumar take stock of the prevailing Indian economic scenario.

| Summary/Abstract |
Corporatisation of critical information infrastructure (CII) is rooted in the ‘privatisation wave’ of the 1980s-90s, when the ground was laid for outsourcing public utilities. Despite well-known risks relating to reliability, resilience, and accountability, commitment to efficiency imperatives have driven governments to outsource key public services and infrastructures. A recent illustrative case with enormous implications is the 2017 Swedish ICT scandal, where outsourcing of CII caused major security breaches. With the transfer of the Swedish Transport Agency’s ICT system to IBM and subcontractors, classified data and protected identities were made accessible to non-vetted foreign private employees – sensitive data could thus now be in anyone’s hands. This case clearly demonstrates accountability gaps that can arise in public-private governance of CII.

Since the start of the land tenure reform in the pastoral areas of China in the 1980s, grassland use rights have increasingly been assigned to individual households. However, this period has also been accompanied by extensive grassland degradation in China, which has raised the question of whether a tragedy of privatisation has occurred. This paper investigates the impact of land tenure reform on the changes in grassland condition, using data from 60 counties in Inner Mongolia between 1985 and 2008. A fixed effects model is employed to control for time-invariant factors. Two alternative model specifications in terms of land tenure reform and time-variant factors are conducted to verify the robustness of the estimation results. The results show that land tenure reform did not affect the grassland condition significantly, and the major drivers of grassland degradation include the land use change and the increase in market demand (meat prices). Thereby, we provide empirical evidence that the privatisation of grasslands did not cause grassland degradation in Inner Mongolia, China.

| Summary/Abstract |
The evolution of electricity industry over the last decades has shown substantial differences between OECD countries. This paper empirically investigates to what extent different structural forms of regulation, competition and privatisation explain these international differences. It distinguishes three modes of electricity performance: a) net generation per capita, b) installed capacity and c) labour productivity. The empirical model spans the period 1975–2011 and uses panel data econometric techniques. Our analysis reveals that there is a strongly significant interaction impact on the level of electricity performance between regulation and competition. The empirical findings do confirm that a robust independent regulatory scheme must be implemented in order to achieve a competitive electricity market.

| Summary/Abstract |
This paper looks at the IPO underpricing puzzle in a political economy perspective, as previous theories have considered only the 'market economy factor' in IPO underpricing, and failed to incorporate the 'political economy factor' in determining IPO underpricing. This is particularly relevant to emerging markets such as China, where the IPO is not only a process of raising fresh capital, but also one of privatisation. By examining the Chinese case with the political economy perspective, we find that the IPO underpricing is negatively related to the proportion of the shares held by various government organisations. We also offer explanations using an angle of political economy.

| Summary/Abstract |
This paper focuses upon the policy and institutional change that has taken place within the Argentine electricity market since the country's economic and social crisis of 2001/2. As one of the first less developed countries (LDCs) to liberalise and privatise its electricity industry, Argentina has since moved away from the orthodox market model after consumer prices were frozen by the Government in early 2002 when the national currency was devalued by 70%. Although its reforms were widely praised during the 1990s, the electricity market has undergone a number of interventions, ostensibly to keep consumer prices low and to avert the much-discussed energy 'crisis' caused by a dearth of new investment combined with rising demand levels. This paper explores how the economic crisis and its consequences have both enabled and legitimised these policy and institutional amendments, while drawing upon the specifics of the post-neoliberal market 're-reforms' to consider the extent to which the Government appears to be moving away from market-based prescriptions. In addition, this paper contributes to sector-specific understandings of how, despite these changes, neoliberal ideas and assumptions continue to dominate Argentine public policy well beyond the postcrisis era.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article is concerned with the attitudes of the nascent Russian 'middle class' towards the privatisation of housing. It focuses on the questions of whether private ownership had an impact on these people's understanding of 'home', whether it resulted in greater satisfaction with their housing, and whether it gave them the sense of being 'stakeholders' in Russian society. The principal research method was a questionnaire emailed to people in Moscow, St Petersburg and three provincial cities. A history of housing in Soviet Russia is also provided, along with an overview of research on housing and the home in other industrialised countries.

Make in India” has been around for some time now, both as a slogan and as a rallying point for industrial lobbies. As far as the aerospace industry is concerned, the single major act of faith the government can perform is to level the playing field for private players. The only way that can be done is to permit fair competition between PSEs and private industries so that their individual strengths are pitted against each other in ‘May the best man win!’ gladiatorial, free market arenas. The private sector has amply demonstrated its capability and willingness to aoutdo public sector achievments. All it needs is a chance to do so.
