Privatizzazione senza liberalizzazione? Lo strano caso delle ferrovie italiane

Del Monte, Alfredo and Price, Richard (2016): Privatizzazione senza liberalizzazione? Lo strano caso delle ferrovie italiane.

Abstract

The Italian government is proceeding with the privatisation of the Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane group, and is considering a merger with the government-owned highways company. In this article, we argue that changes could be made to the privatisation and reform process, learning from the British experience, which would bring substantial benefits to Italian rail users and taxpayers.
