In this study, we examine the relationship between various indicators of privatization and exports. We test the hypothesis that privatization contributes to boost exports in transition economies by exploiting a panel data set including the period 1989 to 2008 and 25 transition economies and using five privatization indicators. We identified a positive correlation between privatization and exports. This finding is statistically significant and valid for five different privatization indicators. Thus, the results suggest that privatization stimulates exports in transition economies, controlling for other factors that may contribute to increase in exports.
