Abstract Title of Dissertation: SUSTAINING PRIVATIZATION Kumar V Pratap, Doctor of Philosophy, 2011 Dissertation directed by: Professor Carol Graham The Brookings Institution & University of Maryland This dissertation examines the factors associated with sustainable privatization of infrastructure projects. Privatization offers a way for governments to make infrastructure delivery more effective and efficient than exclusively public provision, but often the promise is fraught with peril. The three essays that constitute this dissertation seek to use empirical data and analysis to answer three selected questions regarding sustainable privatization: What causes the private sector to exit from infrastructure projects? Do Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) provide value for money to governments? Does privatization lead to benign outcomes? The first essay of this dissertation takes the broadest view, looking at cross-country, cross-sector regression analysis to unearth patterns in infrastructure privatization failures - with a view to understand as well the factors that lead to success. The second essay takes a further step from the broad overview of the first essay by looking in detail at individual projects and examining what factors could lead to better value for money to governments. Finally, the third essay looks at the choice between asset sales and share issue privatization as two specific methods for privatization and their subsequent impact on the performance of the privatized company. The three essays thus represent a progression from survival to good health and finally to growth. My major conclusions are: Project cancellation rates, though rising, are still low. Although ownership may change hands, for the most part, the private sector is staying in private infrastructure projects. Although trends in cancellation may not be an issue for private infrastructure projects as a whole, it is a concern in the water and sewerage sector. The high probability of cancellation and relatively low level of fresh investment in the sector suggests a declining role for the private sector in making available this essential service. There is value for money to governments from entering into Public-Private Partnerships in infrastructure. Divestment leads to significant improvement in profitability, efficiency, and real output of firms, besides providing some fiscal boost to the government. However, the impact on employment is negative.

    India: Airport Security Screening for Passengers Departing on International Flights Research Directorate, Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada, Ottawa

    Home > Research > Responses to Information Requests RESPONSES TO INFORMATION REQUESTS (RIRs) New Search | About RIR's | Help 14 April 2009 IND103120.E India: Airport security screening for passengers departing on international flights Research Directorate, Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada, Ottawa In 27 April 2009 correspondence, the Security Manager of Air India in Toronto stated the following in regard to airport security screening for passengers departing on international flights: … when the passenger approaches the check-in counter, his/her travel documents, such as passport, visa, ticket, etc. are checked by an airline check-in agent to verify the genuineness of the [documents] prior to the issuance of a boarding card. After obtaining the boarding card, the passenger goes through immigration checks where his/her passport/visa is thoroughly screened and their biographical data are stored into the computer by the government immigration officials. And, at this stage the passenger's data is matched with the suspected criminal databank. The Security Manager also stated that these screening procedures are generally similar at all airports (27 April 2009). The Bengaluru International Airport [Bangalore] website has a "security and passport control" section for international flight passengers that states that passengers, after acquiring their boarding pass, must proceed to the emigration check area where they are to complete "Visa formalities," after which they can proceed to the "international security control area," and then to the departure area (n.d.). Specific information on the security screening procedures within the emigration check area or the international security control area is not available on this airport website.
  • Greenwash: Corporate Environmental Disclosure Under Threat of Audit∗

    Greenwash: Corporate Environmental Disclosure Under Threat of Audit∗

    Greenwash: Corporate Environmental Disclosure under Threat of Audit∗ Thomas P. Lyon†and John W. Maxwell‡ May 23, 2007 Abstract We present an economic model of greenwash, in which a firm strategi- cally discloses environmental information and a non-governmental organi- zation (NGO) may audit and penalize the firm for failing to fully disclose its environmental impacts. We show that disclosures increase when the likelihood of good environmental performance is lower. Firms with in- termediate levels of environmental performance are more likely to engage in greenwash. Under certain conditions, NGO punishment of greenwash induces the firm to become less rather than more forthcoming about its environmental performance. We also show that complementarities with NGO auditing may justify public policies encouraging firms to adopt en- vironmental management systems. 1Introduction The most notable environmental trend in recent years has been the shift away from traditional regulation and towards voluntary programs by government and industry. Thousands of firms participate in the Environmental Protec- tion Agency’s partnership programs, and many others participate in industry- led environmental programs such as those of the World Business Council for Sustainable Development, the Chicago Climate Exchange, and the American Chemistry Council’s “Responsible Care” program.1 However, there is growing scholarly concern that these programs fail to deliver meaningful environmental ∗We would like to thank Mike Baye, Rick Harbaugh, Charlie Kolstad, John Morgan, Michael Rauh, and participants in seminars at the American Economic Association meetings, Canadian Resource and Environmental Economics meetings, Dartmouth, Indiana University, Northwestern, UC Berkeley, UC Santa Barbara and University of Florida for their helpful comments.

  • Environmental Protection in the Information Age

    Environmental Protection in the Information Age

    ARTICLES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION IN THE INFORMATION AGE DANIEL C. ESTy* Information gaps and uncertaintieslie at the heart of many persistentpollution and natural resource management problems. This article develops a taxonomy of these gaps and argues that the emerging technologies of the Information Age will create new gap-filling options and thus expand the range of environmental protection strategies. Remote sensing technologies, modern telecommunications systems, the Internet, and computers all promise to make it much easier to identify harms, track pollution flows and resource consumption, and measure the resulting impacts. These developments will make possible a new structure of institutionalresponses to environmental problems including a more robust market in environmental prop- erty rights, expanded use of economic incentives and market-based regulatorystrat- egies, improved command-and-control regulation, and redefined social norms of environmental stewardship. Likewise, the degree to which policies are designed to promote information generation will determine whether and how quickly new insti- tutional approaches emerge. While some potential downsides to Information Age environmental protection remain, the promise of a more refined, individually tai- lored, and precise approach to pollution control and natural resourcemanagement looks to be significant.

  • Csr Statements: Incentives and Enforcement in the Wake of the Business Roundtable’S Statement on Corporate Purpose

    Csr Statements: Incentives and Enforcement in the Wake of the Business Roundtable’S Statement on Corporate Purpose

    CSR STATEMENTS: INCENTIVES AND ENFORCEMENT IN THE WAKE OF THE BUSINESS ROUNDTABLE’S STATEMENT ON CORPORATE PURPOSE Arielle Sigel* ABSTRACT Corporate social responsibility (“CSR”) statements—voluntary statements made by a corporation to improve its practices in three broad areas: environmental, social, and governance (“ESG”)—are increasingly expected from companies. Both consumers and investors are interested in whether companies are making efforts at social responsibility. In 2019, the Business Roundtable’s statement focused on CSR, emphasizing corporations’ commitment to stakeholders as well as shareholders. This statement signaled a broader shift away from for-profit companies’ profitability focus, and other prominent industry figures, such as BlackRock’s Larry Fink, continue to voice similar sentiments. The business judgment rule and related corporate law doctrines and cases, such as Dodge v. Ford, provide directors with a great deal of deference—within limits, of course—to make decisions that do not fulfill their primary duty of profit maximization. While CSR statements help companies by providing brand recognition, meeting consumer demand, and creating social good, these companies’ decisions to pursue CSR goals do not always align directly with maximizing profits. This creates a rift between directors’ and companies’ legal obligations and the trend of CSR and stakeholder theory. This Note seeks to close this rift by exploring the incentives behind CSR statements and explaining how directors can fulfill their duties by linking CSR statements to profits. In doing so, it concludes that CSR is a proper corporate purpose. CSR statements, with certain conditions placed on them, benefit both companies and society. If companies get to reap the reputational and financial benefits from making CSR statements, then companies must make good faith efforts to achieve their stated goals.
