Abstract

En este trabajo analizamos el efecto de las fusiones en el bienestar de un pais receptor (domestico) de inversion extranjera directa. Utilizando un modelo de equilibrio parcial con competencia imperfecta, empresas domesticas y empresas foraneas compiten produciendo bienes diferenciados. El gobierno en el pais domestico establece subsidios discriminatorios entre las empresas domesticas y foraneas. Como primer resultado el subsidio optimo impuesto a las empresas foraneas es negativo afectando el excedente del consumir y del productor, asi como el ingreso/gasto impositivo. Cuando las empresas domesticas se fusionan para obtener una ventaja competitiva con respecto a las empresas foraneas, el resultado sobre el bienestar es ambiguo. Cuando este es negativo el gobierno establece incentivos en forma de subsidio a las empresas foraneas. Finalmente, cuando la diferenciacion de los bienes es mayor el bienestar del pais domestico mejora, en este sentido las preferencias de los consumidores son relevantes.
