• Thrilled to share that our new article has just been published! 😃😃 In this paper, we explore how public and private desalination firms would interact in a duopoly setting, motivated by the Chilean context. We analyze how these firms allocate water between residential and mining sectors, under government influence through subsidies and production requirements.
