Question

________ is seen as a way to stimulate gains in economic efficiency by giving owners a powerful incentive—the reward of greater profits—to search for increases in productivity, to enter new markets, and to exit losing ones.

Answer 1

Answer:

Group of choices:

A.  Globalization

B.  Economic transformation

C.  Deregulation

D.  Privatization

The correct answer is  D.  Privatization.

Explanation:

Privatization is an existing mechanism in the economy through which the government makes an industry or an activity no longer part of the public sphere, being transferred or transferred from the State to private companies or organizations.

The concept of privatization is often related to tools to improve competition, which help companies to improve their cost structure, allowing products to be of higher quality and at lower prices, favoring the consumer.

Since privatization reduces state participation in the economy, it is identified with capitalist policies. This tool is opposed to nationalization.
