Abstract

This paper analyzes a mixed oligopoly in which firms may hire managers and delegate their decisions to them for strategic reasons. Unlike previous research, we examine the case in which a public firm competes with a foreign firm and a domestic firm, both of them private. We show that these two private firms behave dif- ferently. In equilibrium, only the domestic firm strategically hires a manager that deviates from simple profit maximization. This leads to a social welfare higher than the one obtained when none of the firms hires a manager and that resulting from the competition of a domestic and a foreign firm run by managers.// Este artículo analiza un oligopolio mixto en el que las empresas pueden contratar administradores y delegarles sus decisiones con fines estratégicos. A diferencia de investigaciones anteriores, examinamos un caso en el que una empresa pública compite con una extranjera y otra local, ambas privadas. Mostramos que estas dos empresas privadas se comportan de manera diferente: en equilibrio; solamente la empresa local contrata estratégicamente a un administrador que no persigue la simple maximización de ganancias. Esto conduce a un bienestar social mayor que el que se obtiene cuando ninguna empresa contrata a un administrador y que el que resulta de la competencia de una empresa local y otra extranjera, ambas dirigidas por administradores.
