The process of reform began earlier than in Eastern Europe, but the state owned enterprise sector remains an intractable problem. What has accounted for the remarkable rate of economic growth sustained over the last 20 years, are the spontaneous entrepreneurial efforts of the collectively owned Township and Village Enterprises (TVEs), and the Private and Individual Enterprises (IOEs). Together with the widespread distribution of shareholding, this could represent the foundations of a stakeholder economy. The success of further economic reform will depend on the perception of the Chinese people's stake in the future of their country.

Yet economists still blame anti-globalists? demonstrations and public opposition to trade liberalisation on poor information. This paper analyses how the structure of the media industry affects the distribution of information on trade policy and globalisation. We present an empirical analysis of Belgian media reporting on trade policy and globalisation over the 1999?2002 period, supports these hypotheses and finds strong negative bias in media coverage. Moreover, we find that media coverage of trade policy and globalisation is highly concentrated around summit meetings of political leaders. Media attention in the popular press is heavily influenced by riots and demonstrations at summits. The paper points at important implications for public information on trade policy and globalisation and for economists.Tue Mar 25 06:53:52 CET 2008Journal of Public EconomicsFree University of Berlin, CEPR, CESifo, IZA, Germany Received 25 April 2005; revised 19 July 2005; accepted 14 August 2005.

The current paper develops a voting model where citizens are uncertain about the welfare effects induced by alternative policy options and derive information about those effects from the mass media. The media might however secretly collude with interest groups in order to influence the public opinion. In the case of voting over the level of a productivity-enhancing public bad, it is shown that an increase in the concentration of firm ownership makes the occurrence of media bias more likely. Although media bias is not always welfare worsening, conditions for it to raise welfare are restrictive. Mass_media inequality economy medgov citizens
