摘要：

Privatization towards profit maximization lowers output and hence encourages a lower tax rate. Because of the reduced tax effect, output is increased when the demand function is highly convex. This gives a paradoxical result that privatization harms the environment. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
