State ownership, also called public ownership, government ownership or state property, are property interests that are vested in the state, rather than an individual or private entity. State ownership may refer to state ownership or control of any asset, industry, or enterprise at any level, national, regional or local (municipal); or to common (full-community) non-state ownership. The process of bringing an asset into public ownership is called nationalization or municipalization. State ownership is differentiated from private ownership, cooperative ownership, and non-governmental common ownership. In market-based economies, state-owned assets are usually managed and operated as joint-stock corporations with the government owning a controlling stake of the shares. This model is often referred to as a state-owned enterprise. A government-owned corporation (sometimes state-owned enterprise, SOE) may resemble a not-for-profit corporation as it may not be required to generate a profit. Governments may also use profitable entities they own to support the general budget. SOE's may or may not be expected to operate in a broadly commercial manner and may or may not have monopolies in their areas of activity. The creation of a government-owned corporation (corporatization) from other forms of government ownership may be a precursor to privatization. State capitalist economies are capitalist market economies that feature high degrees of government ownership of business enterprise. In Soviet-type economies, state property was the predominant form of property for industry. The state held a monopoly on land and natural resources, and enterprises operated under the framework of a nominally planned economy. Enterprises in Soviet-type economies operated according to different criteria and under a different legal framework than state-owned enterprises in capitalistic market and mixed economies. == User rights == When ownership of a resource is vested in the state, or any branch of the state such as a local authority, individual use "rights" are based on the state's management policies, though these rights are not property rights as they are not transmissible. For example, if a family is allocated an apartment that is state owned, it will have been granted a tenancy of the apartment, which may be lifelong or inheritable, but the management and control rights are held by various government departments. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「State ownership」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
