| Abstract: | In this paper, there is used a unique enterprise level random survey of 150 firms in Ukraine to test hypotheses on the relationship btw. enterprise performance and ownership in transitional economies. Particularly, it is explored whether privatisation has yielded improved company performance and whether specific ownership forms (insider, manager, worker, and outsider) have led to differentiated behaviour at the enterprise level. The analysis also explores the determinants and ramifications of barter, a widespread phenomenon across the former Soviet Union. Barter is found to be associated with lower profitability, and to be less common in privatized firms. |
