Infrastructure provision and international market share rivalry

Article Abstract:

A study utilized a strategic infrastructure investment model to seek policy relevance of recent empirical infrastructure research. The model involved two rival oligopolistic companies vying for market share in foreign and home markets. The government supports market competition between the companies by giving tax-financed public infrastructure services that lessen their expenditures. The study found out that governments can utilize an infrastructure policy for strategic trade policy purposes, at the risk of balancing infrastructure benefits and taxation costs.
