1 STRATEGIC TRADE POLICY AND MANAGERIAL DELEGATION IN A MIXED DUOPOLY FANG WEI (UNIVERSITY OF KITAKYUSHU) fwei@kitakyu-u.ac.jp 1

2 Tariff Protection Policy under Duopoly cf. Brander-Spencer (1984) ---- Rent-Shifting Effect Separation of Ownership and Management cf. Fershtman and Judd(1987), Sklivas (1987) ----Deviation From Profit Maximization Semipublic Firm in a Mixed Oligopoly cf. Matsumura (1998) ----a weighed sum of firm profit and home social welfare 2

3 Examine and Compare the Eq. Results in the Three Cases: ----Case N: No Managerial Delegation ex. Chao and Yu (26) ----Case G: Government Moves First ex. Chang(27) ----Case O: Owners Move First Effect of Partial Privatization Managerial Delegation Trade Policy 3

4 Separation of Ownership and Management Mixed Duopoly Import Tariff Policy How the Alternative Move Orders Affect Gov. and Owners Strategic Decisions: Tax or Subsidy? Mutual Effect: Substitute of Complement? Payoffs 4

5 Presence of Separation of Ownership and Management Strengthens (Weakens) Gov s Tariff Incentive When the Degree of Nationalization is Low (High). When Owners Move First (vs. When Gov. Moves First) substitute Tariff Policy Managerial Delegation Foreign Product, Higher Home Profit, Home Welfare Acting as the First Mover(s) always yield a Higher Payoff 5
