Abstract

Developing a two-country model of international mixed oligopoly, this note makes clear the determinant of trade patterns. We give a simple formula to predict bilateral patterns of trade which relates the degree of a country's privatization and the trading country''s competitiveness. If a semi-public firm is not sufficiently privatized in a country, this country exports the non-competitive good.
