摘要
To date, few observations have been made about the performance improvement that resulted from the property right transformation of the collective-owned township and village enterprises （TVE） in the middle of 1990s. Using data collected from a questionnaire survey on the privatized TVE and their employees, the present paper provides some empirical evidence about this topic, and the analysis＇ suggests that property right transformation has had a positive impact on sample enterprises ＇performance, including business improvement, employment expansion, incremental investment and contributions to government revenues＇. The present study concludes that, from a transient viewpoint, the property right transformation has not distorted local governments＇ intentions to establish TVE in earlier years.
