Economic Performance of Five State-Owned Enterprises 1989-1998

Abstract

This report describes the process and results of the evaluation of five State Owned Enterprises (SOEs). It incorporates a comparison of their performance with that of NZ Rail. The SOE study taken as a whole is useful in establishing the performance of NZ Rail following privatisation. It is also of significant value in its own right for the examination of the operation of the SOE model and ownership more generally.
