R&D Subsidies, Spillovers and Privatization in Mixed Markets

Gil-Molto, Maria Jose - 2014

We examine the use of subsidies to R&D in a mixed and a private duopoly market. We show that the socially optimal R …&D subsidy is increasing in the degree of spillovers but it is lower in the private duopoly. The optimal R&D subsidy leads to an … in the duopoly market. This result stands even when optimal R&D subsidies are provided …

Computing Welfare Losses from Data Under Imperfect Competition with Heterogeneous Goods

Corchón, Luis C. - 2015

We study the percentage of welfare losses (PWL) yielded by imperfect competition under product differentiation. When demand is linear, if prices, outputs, costs and the number of firms can be observed, PWL is arbitrary in both Cournot and Bertrand equilibria. If in addition, the elasticity of...

Capital tax competition with three tax instruments

Eggert, Wolfgang - 1997

The paper studies the role of capital mobility for efficiency of decentralized fiscal policies in a tax competition model where only a distorting wage, the residencebased and the source-based capital tax are available.
