State-Owned Enterprise, Mixed Oligopoly and Entry [PDF]
We analyse state-owned enterprise (SOE) behaviour under pure and mixed oligopoly. An industry comprising at least two SOEs is shown not to have a symmetric stable equilibrium. This suggests the need for planning in such industries.

In the unique equilibrium, all consumers disclose, and firms price discriminate, leading to welfare losses from inefficient poaching ...
