Abstract

. This paper extends Matsushima and Matsumura (2003) by incorporating a large production cost difference between public and private firms in a quantity setting spatial mixed oligopoly. The public and private firms first choose their locations in a linear market and then compete in quantities. It is shown that for a significant inefficiency of the public firm, all firms (including both public and private firms) agglomerate at the market centre. Ce texte développe les résultats de Matsushima et Matsumura (2003) en incorporant la possibilité d'une grande différence de coûts de production entre l'entreprise publique et les entreprises privées dans un oligopole spatial mixte de concurrence par les quantités. Les entreprises (publiques et privées) choisissent leur localisation dans un marché linéaire et se concurrencent par les quantités. On montre que, s'il existe une inefficacité significative de l'entreprise publique, toutes les entreprises (publiques et privées) tendent à s'agglomérer au centre du marché.
