This study investigates government public policies facing competing firms’ strategic corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities and finds that the choice of CSR crucially depends on corporate profit tax. We demonstrate that strategic CSR decreases while social welfare increases with...

This study investigates the effect of port integration in a mixed oligopoly framework where a public port compete with private ports under price competition. We formulate two integration models, A-integration and B-integration, in which the public port integrates with its neighboring private...

This paper focuses on the international transportation market in which a high-speed rail (HSR) firm competes with both the domestic and foreign airline firms providing differentiated transport services. We investigate and compare two types of corporate social responsibility (CSR)—mandatory and...

We consider strategic trade and privatization policies in international bilateral mixed markets where a domestic state-owned enterprise competes with both domestic and foreign private enterprises in each country. We examine the strategic interaction of two countries’ optimal choices of...

This paper examines an endogenous timing game in product differentiated duopolies under price competition when emission tax is imposed on environmental externality. We show that a simultaneous-move (sequential-move) outcome can be an equilibrium outcome in a private duopoly under significant...
