N2  - Between 1974 and 1989 Chile undertook a massive and controversial privatization program, transferring some 550 state-owned enterprises to the private sector. Privatization in Chile cuts through the assumptions and biases of both supporters and opponents of privatization to measure what the program has really meant for employment levels, efficiency, equity, and other indicators of economic well-being. For developing countries pursuing privatization, this detailed analysis of the Chilean experience offers lessons that can mean the difference between success and failure
