This article departs from existing literature by including licensing in a multinational market where the innovator is the Stackelberg leader. When the domestic mixed-ownership firm is the leading innovator, it focuses on local social welfare. Thus, the royalty it charges becomes a function of level privatization. As the private share in the domestic firm increases, the leader increases the royalty it charges. The relationship is reversed when the foreign firm becomes the innovator. The optimal licensing policy is a mix of a fixed fee and a royalty, with a difference that a Stackelberg leader charges more than a Cournot competitor.

Fuel smuggling is a thriving business in the Middle East region where some oil-producing governments subsidize petroleum and fuel products. This multi hundred-million-dollar industry benefits black marketers and terrorist organizations such as the Islamic State of Iraq and Levant, who use smuggling fuel and oil to finance their operations. This article uses a mixed oligopoly framework to study the interactions between governments which influence this market. It finds out that the different approaches to pricing motivate fuel smuggling. While paying subsidies to consumers might reduce the volume of fuel smuggling and an increase in the law enforcement effectiveness will reduce the number of fuel smugglers, neither approach will stop fuel smuggling completely. Governments can stop smuggling only by adopting a strategic approach to pricing, which takes into account the multinational nature of the market.

Several developing countries impose high tariffs, directly or indirectly, on imports of manufactured goods such as vehicles and machinery. In many cases governments argue that they need such policies to protect domestic manufacturing industries from foreign competition while simultaneously allowing joint ventures between domestic manufacturers and foreign ones. This study asks whether foreign businesses actually benefit more from entering a market through joint ventures where their competitors cannot enter due to high trade barriers and domestic manufacturers’ monopoly. Our results answer this question in the affirmative under several scenarios. Results show that while governments use tariffs to interact strategically with other governments and foreign firms, they also use them to manage the co-integration of markets.

Conflicts hinder international trade. Political agreements that restrain conflicts and remove sanctions may contribute positively to exporting and importing activities. In this study, we examine the effects of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, commonly known as Iran Nuclear Deal, on Iran's non-oil exports. Employing a dynamic panel model, we find a significant increase in the growth rate of industry-level exports following the removal of nuclear-related sanctions, resulting from this political agreement. In particular, the exports of industries that have relatively low shares in Iran's non-oil exports grow significantly faster than industries with relatively high shares in those exports. Our findings suggest that even a short-lived political agreement could have significant positive effects on exporting activities in middle-income countries.

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. It finds out 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 it moves to liberalize the market. However this step does not eliminate the free rider problem governments are facing in this market when they privatize their public firms unilaterally.

Airlines air traffic delays cause discomfort to passengers and cost airlines dearly, thus there is no wonder that a growing number of authors from different disciplines have studied air traffic delays and their patterns. This paper departs from existing literature by assuming air traffic delay to be a duration variable whose true distribution is unknown. It suggests a general model that includes several other models as subfamilies and utilizes an information contents based approach to find the most appropriate model to study air traffic delays. The results for two different airlines, American Airlines and United Airlines, reveal that airlines of comparable size and market influence air traffic delays could follow different patterns.

This paper studies a single multinational market where private and public firms from different nationalities compete. The model allows the domestic government to subsidize its firms. In contrast to previous studies in this model, the subsidy varies with the market structure. Privatizing either the domestic public firm or the foreign public firm or both of them unambiguously increases the optimal subsidy rate and domestic social welfare. Nonetheless, both countries would benefit from simultaneous privatization.

This paper departs from previous literature by considering a mixed oligopoly with two countries each with public and private firms competing in a single market. This differs from the traditional framework of examining a single domestic market in which foreign and domestic firms compete and is motivated, in part, by international airline markets but serves to characterise many markets. The resulting equilibrium emphasises that the strategic interaction of the two public firms usually serves to reduce welfare. Thus, the usual reason to imagine a public firm in a mixed oligopoly, to enhance welfare, is lost when such firms compete in the interest of their respective countries.

This paper extends the existing mixed oligopoly analysis by studying the case where governments do not have the same attitude toward producers' surplus in a multinational market. It demonstrates that governments' emphasis on profitability might discourage them from joining a coordinated privatization process with other governments. Thus the governments do not always face a prisoners' dilemma in privatizing their national firms as suggested previously. It also demonstrates that private sector increases its production when governments appreciate producers' surplus more than consumers'.
