Manchester School, 2009, vol. 77, issue 3, pages 373-397

Abstract: We present a simple Bertrand competition model with a Hotelling (Economic Journal, Vol. 39 (1929), pp. 41-57) type spatial competition by incorporating the framework of partial privatization developed by Bös (Privatization: A Theoretical Treatment, Oxford, Clarendon Press, 1991). We investigate simultaneous price choice and sequential price choice with respect to fixed locations of firms and show how the degree of privatization of a public firm influences social welfare in a mixed duopoly market. We also analyse sequential price competition with respect to the location choice of firms. Copyright © 2009 The Author.
