Orientador: Eduardo Romero de Oliveira / Banca: Marly Rodrigues / Banca: Manoela Rossinetti Rufinoni / Resumo: Esta dissertação traz para o debate a situação do Patrimônio Ferroviário de São Paulo, tendo como objeto central o Museu da Companhia Paulista, situado no Município de Jundiaí. Esse museu está localizado no Complexo de Oficinas FEPASA, que atualmente é um patrimônio tombado pelo Instituto do Patrimônio Histórico e Artístico Nacional - IPHAN. O foco é compreender como se deu o processo de patrimonialização do museu no período de falência e privatizações das ferrovias. Para entender toda essa trama complexa que ser formou após esse delicado momento das malhas ferroviárias, recorreu-se a diversas fontes documentais que evidenciaram inúmeras disputas entre os agentes preservacionistas. Essas fontes foram entrevistas orais realizadas com pessoas envolvidas de alguma forma com a preservação do museu, tais como alguns ferroviários aposentados; Os processos de tombamento tanto do IPHAN, na esfera federal, quanto do Conselho de Defesa do Patrimônio Histórico, Arqueológico, Artístico e Turístico - CONDEPHAAT, na esfera estadual, e diversos materiais encontrados no próprio museu. Com base nesse conjunto documental foi possível compreender quais as dificuldades enfrentadas na preservação dos remanescentes ferroviários após a liquidação das empresas férreas, e verificar na prática como os espaços de memórias são, por excelência, lugares de conflitos / Abstract: This essay brings to a debate the situation of São Paulo Railway Heritage, which main object is "Companhia Paulista Museum", located in the city of Jundiai. This museum is located in the complex of "FEPASA" factory, which is now a heritage listed by the Institute of Artistic and Historical National Heritage - IPHAN. The main idea is to understand how the process of the museum heritage has occurred during the period of bankruptcy and privatization of the railways. To understand this entire complex plot that happened after this delicate moment of the rail network, it was necessary to use several sources of documents that showed numerous disputes among the preservationist agents. These sources were taken from oral interviews with some people who were involved, some way, with the preservation of the museum, like some retired railroaders. The "IPHAN" tipping processes, at the federal level, as the Council of Historical Heritage Defense, Archaeological, Artistic and Tourist - CONDEPHAAT, at the state level, and several materials found in the museum. Based on these documents, it was possible to understand the difficulties faced in the preservation of the remaining railway after the settlement of railway companies, and see in practice how the spaces of memory are for excellence, places of conflict / Mestre

The thesis examines the process of privatization in Austria in the 1990s and its relation to the change of consociationalism. The privatization of the Austrian economy was not only a big economic, but political event of the modern Austrian history. The public sector of economy which included seven dozens of manufacturing firms and two large state banks, became an important part of the consociational political culture which aim on achieving of social consensus. The thesis presents the historical, economic and political development of the Austrian public economy and conditions of decision-making of two big political parties as representatives of two main social-political camps, SPÖ and ÖVP, in the privatization issue. Moreover, there is presented in detail the process of financial rehabilitation and privatization during the governing of the "big coalition" of the Austrian social democratic party and the Austrian people's party (1986-1999). In the final part of the thesis is judged whether (and how) contributed the privatization of the state economy to the change of the political culture of consociationalism from the point of view: a) electoral dominance SPÖ and ÖVP, b) social partnership, c) position Austria in the international political and economic relations.

Selling state-owned enterprises to the private sector has become a popular policy for governments all around the world. Chapter 1 provides an historical perspective on privatization, and it describes the objectives and the privatization techniques that have been adopted by many governments since the late 70s. The chapter then focuses on two important issues in the privatization debate, the underpricing of shares and the effect of ownership on performance. It reviews the most significant theoretical and empirical contributions to the analysis of these two issues, and it introduces the questions addressed in the remaining chapters of this dissertation. In Chapter 2 I consider a government that first privatizes a company and then competes for votes against a political opponent. The government's objective is to choose the price of shares and the level of promotional effort to maximize its total net revenues. After the sale of the company to the public there is an election and the two parties announce what expropriation rate they would implement if they win the political competition. I show that in this context it is optimal for the party in power in the first period to actively promote the sale and to underprice the stock with respect to its true value, in order to increase the size of the shareholders' interest group that will vote for the party announcing a low expropriation rate. In Chapter 3 I estimate the long-term impact of the British privatization program of the 70s, 80s, and 90s, on the government's finances. For a large sample of British companies that were privatized in the years 1979 to 1994, regression analysis shows no effect of change in ownership on company's gross profitability. This information is then combined with estimates of all relevant costs (implicit and explicit) and revenues for each sale, to assess the long-term effect of the privatization policies on the government's net worth. The results show that "Selling the State" generated considerable losses for the British Government. / Ph. D.

This collection of papers originates from my interest in the reform efforts in transitional economies. Each of the chapters is self-contained. Chapter one presents a brief literature survey of those schools of thought that have contributed to our knowledge about privatization. In chapter two, a public firm model and a private firm model are compared based on agency approach, assuming that the owner of a firm has cost information but also bears the cost of production. I find that the question which type of ownership, private or public, is superior does not have a clear cut answer. Private ownership may induce higher work effort but suffers from a discrepancy of private and social goals. While production distortion is less serious, an obvious disincentive to work exists in the public firm. Chapter three examines how privatization can be considered as a threat to stimulate a public firm manager's work incentive when his effort level cannot be observed by the government. I find that, in the case when commitment to privatize is impossible, the government will set a strictly positive wage rate and a strictly positive investment subsidy to signal the government's determination to implement the privatization policy. In chapter four, I examine the role that public investment plays in a financial market with a credit rationing problem. Two kinds of borrowers co-exist in the economy, namely the public and the private. Public borrowers enjoy a "first mover" advantage to borrow money from banks. In this situation, the credit rationing is found escalating. But since the success of a public project (owned by a public borrower) can exert positive externality on the productivity of private projects, the adverse effect induced by credit rationing can be alleviated. We show that if the quality of the public projects is good enough, the economic growth rate can be higher than the case without public projects in the economy. / Ph. D.

After the introduction of the cargo container and related automation systems in the late 1950s, the numbers of maritime laborers who worked along the piers and aboard ship along American waterways steadily declined. In the late 1950s, tens of thousands of longshoremen and merchant mariners plied their respective trades, but the process of “containerization” reduced their numbers by nearly 70 percent by the late 1980s and early 1990s. The Department of Defense (DoD) similarly containerized and automated its cargo handling during this era. The introduction of the container also had negative consequences for defense maritime policy. Containerization of the National Security Waterfront represented but one decision of many at the Department of Defense to replace laborers and other personnel with automation and privatization. During the Cold War, privatization evolved into contracting corporations for numerous aspects of government operations, including at the DoD. Beginning in the early 1960s, the DoD investigated how best to maximize budgets that were coming under strain from growing Cold War military commitments. Over the course of the following three decades, the DoD adopted containerization for nearly every aspect of its maritime logistics operations. By the 1990s, automation had decimated maritime communities and the DoD’s maritime logistics network.
