| Abstract: | This paper uses firm-level data from jute mills in Bangladesh in order to analyze the effects of privatization upon employment and output. The privatization program provides an almost controlled experiment on the economic effects of a change in ownership. The findings are that privatization has reduced employment significantly, while the reduction in output is not statistically significant. The breakdown of employment reduction by category of employee is particularly interesting. |
