Abstract

We analyse the objective function of a mixed firm, i.e. a firm whose controllers have different objectives (profit and value added per worker). It seems that the optimal output behaves in a bizzarre manner near critical values of a weight parameter. Output jumps up or down whenever we approach the critical value respectively from above or from below.
