Contrary to traditional theory it is shown that both a merger between private firms and between one private and one public firm could be sustainable. Furthermore, the effects of environmental considerations on mixed firms’ optimal degree of privatization are analyzedengEnvironmental damageTransboundary pollutionMixed oligopolyPrivatizationMergersjournal articleopen access
