Abstract

The majority of public firms take part in competition. Cox (1988), Eichhorn (1997), Friedrich (1976), Oettle (1976), Rittig (1977) and Thiemeyer (1970) have been considering this phenomenon for some time. The role of public enterprises in regional competition within the European Union has seldom been discussed until now. Therefore, we want to analyse whether or not public enterprises should be used as policy instruments in regional competition? To help answer this question we formulate the following subproblems: 1. Which are the characteristics of regional competition? 2. How are public firms involved in this competition? 3. Are we able to model public firms in regional competition? 4. Do public enterprises form suitable instruments of European regional competition?
