International Trade and Strategic Privatization
(2001-03)
The literature on mixed oligopoly does not consider that there is strategic interaction between governments when they decide whether to privatize their public firms. In order to analyze this quetion we consider two countries; ...
Environmental Standards, Wage Incomes and the Location of Polluting Firms
(2000-03)
The purpose of this paper is to study how the choice of environmental standards by governments is affected by the existence of wage incomes when firms' location is endogenous. In developed countries labor is unionized, ...
