Abstract

A wealth of evidence has shown the positive effects of better management practices on firms. More recent evidence has highlighted that ownership matters for several developing and advanced economies. However, this relationship has not been studied extensively for economies in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), a region where the presence of the government in the productive sphere looms large. This study addresses a gap in the literature by exploring how partial government ownership can influence management practices of medium and large formal firms in the MENA. Using two waves of Enterprise Surveys undertaken in 2013 and 2019/2020, the evidence points at a negative relationship between partial government ownership and management practices in the developing MENA region. The findings pass several robustness checks.

中东和北非的管理做法和部分政府所有权
大量证据表明,更好的管理方法对企业有积极影响。最近的证据表明,所有权对一些发展中经济体和发达经济体都很重要。然而,对于中东和北非(MENA)地区的经济体来说,这种关系还没有得到广泛研究。本研究通过探讨政府部分所有权如何影响中东和北非地区大中型正规企业的管理实践,填补了这一文献空白。利用 2013 年和 2019/2020 年进行的两波企业调查,证据表明在发展中的中东和北非地区,政府部分所有权与管理实践之间存在负相关关系。研究结果通过了多项稳健性检验。
