This paper reexamines the relative welfare outcomes under Bertrand and Cournot competition in a differentiated mixed duopoly when foreign investors hold ownership in the public firm. The findings indicate, somewhat unexpectedly, that the two firms’ profits are higher (lower) under Cournot competition than under Bertrand competition when the foreign ownership ratio is high (low). Moreover, when the foreign ownership ratio falls to a medium level, welfare is higher under Cournot competition than under Bertrand competition. This result is more likely to occur when the products become more differentiated.
