This study measures welfare flows accruing to those affected by the Buenos Aires ’ water and sewerage services privatization. The methodology follows the quantitative cost-benefit analysis developed by Jones, Tandon and Vogelsang (1990) to evaluate divestitures of public enterprises, adapted for the first time to a case study on water. One salient aspect of this case is that increased investment and improved service was accompanied by lower tariffs, which brought about important welfare gains for consumers. Government came out as a loser, mainly due to a takeover of existing liabilities. Post-privatization regulatory changes may alter some of these results.
