description Most privatizations around the world, especially in developed economies, are staged processes involving multiple stages of share lockup and unlocking in the stock market. This paper proposes a theory on staged or step-by-step privatization.

Our theory explains the popularity of staged privatizations around the world. We have also conducted empirical analysis, yielding supporting evidence for our theory.
