Privatización y fusiones en oligopolios mixtos

Abstract

Partiendo de un modelo de oligopolio mixto en el que las empresas compiten a la Cournot, el objetivo de este trabajo es el de complementar la literatura existente sobre las fusiones horizontales de empresas. En concreto, se matiza la paradoja de las fusiones al probar que ciertas fusiones pueden ser beneficiosas para las empresas fusionadas, aunque no incluyan a la mayor parte de las empresas del mercado. Por otro lado, se demuestra que para que una fusión sea beneficiosa desde el punto de vista del bienestar es necesario que el grado de privatización de la empresa pública sea relativamente bajo.
