Abstract: Using simple linear demand functions, we have shown that in the thircd market strategic trade policy model there cannot be Cournot-Bertrand or Bertrand-Cournot competition in equilibrium if the two firms choose strategic variables endogenously. More importantly, knowing that the firms will react to its policy in choosing their strategic variables, the government can indeed provide export subsidies to the home firm to maximize the home social welfare if some moderate, reasonable constraints are satisfied.
