Domestic Policies as Strategic Measures in Multinational Markets

Abstract

This paper studies the role of privatization and subsidization policies as trade strategies in a single multinational market where private and public firms of different nationalities interact. The paper finds that when a country subsidizes its industry the rival country would have the incentive to retaliate by adopting a subsidization regime to prevent a free riders¡¯ situation from happening when said country moves to liberalize the market. However, this step does not eliminate the free rider problem governmentsare face in a market when they privatize their public firms unilaterally.
