The authors investigate the relationship between regime type and privatization through a panel data set for 76 developing countries from 1987 to 1994.  The results show that, contrary to most studies that claim that authoritarian regimes are better able to ignore societal interests opposed to economic measures that impose austerity, democracies privatize more than authoritarian regimes.  Moreover, challenging conventional interpretations that claim that economic difficulties contribute to state sell-offs, the authors find that privatization is most likely in wealthier developing democracies whose budgets operate with current accountsurpluses.  Hence authoritarian regimes provide neither the right nor the correct model for countries wishing to pursue unpopular economic policies. - Reproduced.  aDemocracy  aDanis, Michelle A.  aComparative Political Studies  a51190  c51190d51190  00104070aIIPAbIIPAd2018-07-19hVolume no: 35, Issue no: 1pAR51618r2018-07-19w2018-07-19yAR
