Abstract

In a public-firm monopoly market, we investigate a welfare-maximizing government’s attitude towards the entry of a private firm with private information in cost and the government’s choices over two policy options: a menu of policies and a uniform policy. Two different cases are considered: the case of a domestic private firm and the case of a foreign private firm. In both cases, allowing the entry of the private firm is socially optimal. However, in the first case, policy menu is preferred to uniform policy; in the second case, separation equilibrium does not exist and uniform policy is adopted.
