''Optimal partial privatization in mixed oligopoly: a geometric approach''
( 2013, Vol. 33 No.4 )
 
 
In homogenous mixed oligopoly neither full nationalization nor full privatization is optimal under moderate conditions. This paper provides an intuitive geometric explanation to the result by means of best-response functions and iso-social-surplus curves. It is also shown that the optimal degree of partial privatization can easily be derived from the explanation.
