This paper reconsiders the literature on the irrelevance of privatization in mixed markets within which both quantity and price competition are investigated under product differentiation. By allowing for partially privatization of a state-controlled firm, we explore competition under different...

Neither full nationalization nor full privatization is optimal under moderate conditions in homogenous mixed oligopoly. The result is obtained assuming that a partially-privatized firm maximizes a weighted sum of its profits and the total surplus. If, however, a firm is jointly owned by two...

In this paper we introduce product demand uncertainty in a mixed oligopoly model and reexamine the nature of sub-game perfect Nash equilibrium (SPNE) when firms decide in the first stage whether to lead or follow in the subsequent quantity-setting game. In the non-stochastic setting, Pal (1998)...

Although a centerpiece of the reform process in Central and Eastern Europe, large-scale privatization cannot be undertaken all at once and policymakers inevitably face the choice of privatizing some sectors before others. This paper analyzes the allocative efficiency implications of alternate...

In homogenous mixed oligopoly neither full nationalization nor full privatization is optimal under moderate conditions. This paper provides an intuitive geometric explanation to the result by means of best-response functions and iso-social-surplus curves. It is also shown that the optimal degree...

This paper examines privatization policy and entry regulation in a mixed oligopoly market with foreign competitors and free entry of domestic private firms. We demonstrate that if the number of domestic private firms is small, an import subsidy may be chosen and the optimal privatization policy...

We determine the optimal degree of privatization in a mixed duopoly when the environmental problem exists. With regard to the ownership of the private firms, we analyze two cases: (h) the private firm is owned by domestic private investors and (f) it is owned by foreign private investors. A...

This paper investigates how the presence of foreign investors in privatized firms affects privatization policy in a mixed oligopoly. We find that an increase in the stockholding ratio of foreign investors in a privatized firm increases the optimal degree of privatization, whereas an increase in...
