Resumen

Resumen: Este artículo analiza la interacción entre dos decisiones de economía política que tiene que tomar un gobierno: si privatizar una empresa pública y qué política ambiental elegir (un impuesto medioambiental o un estándar de emisiones). Encontramos que cuando la competencia de las empresas en el mercado es débil, el gobierno no privatiza la empresa pública y establece un impuesto medioambiental. Cuando es intermedia, la empresa pública no se privatiza y el gobierno establece un estándar medioambiental. Finalmente, cuando la competencia en el mercado es fuerte, el gobierno privatiza la empresa pública y está indiferente entre un impuesto y un estándar.
