{"product_id":"stateowned-enterprises-in-a-mixed-mehdi-haririan-9780367288778","title":"Stateowned Enterprises in a Mixed Economy: Micro Versus Macro Economic Objectives","description":"\u003cp\u003eA distinctive feature of economic trends of the past three decades has been the increase in microeconomic intervention by state-owned enterprises (SOEs) in the market economies of rich industrial and poor developing nations. The majority of SOEs were established as policy instruments of choice in response to a variety of socioeconomic needs and socio-political problems. As persuasively demonstrated in this book, microeconomic efficiency criteria alone, stemming from the theory of a perfectly competitive economy, are badly designed criteria for public firms. The historical part of the book, in particular, discusses quite compellingly a number of causes other than market failures for the existence of state-owned enterprises. This discussion develops complex answers regarding causes for the existence of public firms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mehdi Haririan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 036728877X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367288778\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/09\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 198\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.00w x 0.90d","brand":"Mehdi Haririan","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48112878420223,"sku":"9780367288778","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9d6686aa-cc18-497f-8d15-abb23fb9b2e2.jpg?v=1769611553","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/stateowned-enterprises-in-a-mixed-mehdi-haririan-9780367288778","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
