We formulate a duopoly model with international location choice in the presence of global common ownership. We theoretically examine how payoff interdependence caused by overlapping ownership such as common and cross ownership affects location and production choices, and resulting welfare. We...

This study theoretically investigates energy-saving investment incentives in duopolies. First, we investigate a binary choice model in which each firm chooses whether to make an energy-saving investment and then they face Cournot competition. We focus on the incentive to become the leading firm...
