  • Abstract
    This paper argues that adverse distributional effects may prevent speedy privatization in former command economies. An imbalanced structure of the work force, combined with a politically motivated subsistence consumption constraint, may necessitate gradual privatization. This possibility is illustrated by a numerical example, and a model of gradual privatization is suggested.
