In the present day economic literature the well–defined property rights (clarity, stability and predictability of the property rights) are regarded as one of the major factors of the economic growth and are closely linked to the successful economic development (Coase, 1960; Demsetz, 1967; North, 1981). Nevertheless, the role of the clearly defined property rights may vary depending upon the size of entities, whether they are public or private, the access to information etc. (Arrow, 1974; Stiglitz, 1994; World bank, 1998).
