Endogenous timing in an international mixed duopoly with a foreign labor-managed competitor

Ohnishi, Kazuhiro (2023): Endogenous timing in an international mixed duopoly with a foreign labor-managed competitor.

Abstract

This paper considers an international mixed duopoly model in which a state-owned public firm competes against a foreign labor-managed firm. The paper investigates endogenous roles of the firms by adopting the observable delay game and shows that the state-owned public firm should never play the role of Staclkelberg leader.
