Abstract
We study mergers between two or more private firms operating in mixed oligopolies, where we allow for the merger to produce cost-reduction effects. We identify that the presence of public firms can facilitate the approval of welfare-improving mergers, even when their cost-reducing effect is relatively low. (c) 2022 Elsevier B.V.
