Abstract

This paper considers a mixed Cournot duopoly model comprising a private firm and a partially privatized public firm to reassess the effect of an increase in ambient charges, and compares the result of this study with that obtained from private Cournot duopoly competition. The paper demonstrates that our result is about the same as that of private Cournot duopoly competition.
