Spatial competition among multi-store firms
The paper analyzes spatial Cournot competition among multi-store firms. It demonstrates that the complex problem of determining equilibrium store locations for competing multi-store firms can be approximated by a simple one, in which each firm behaves as a multi-store monopolist in choosing its store locations. A firm’s equilibrium store locations often coincide with its monopoly locations, and...
متن کاملSpatial Competition with Heterogeneous Firms
I model endogenous horizontal and vertical product differentiation with arbitrarily many heterogeneous firms. Firms are asymmetric in that they differ in their marginal costs. I prove that under an equilibrium refinement, all economically relevant firm outcomes are uniquely determined across all strict subgame perfect Nash equilibria. There are two central results. First, a firm’s price, market...
متن کاملCompetition Between Firms that Bundle Information
Information goods, such as journal articles, require substantial investment. But once the original content has been created, it is very inexpensive to produce additional copies. Recent technological advances in computing and digital communication have made possible even lower duplication and distribution expenses through electronic delivery. This cost structure poses a diiculty. Charging per-un...
متن کاملCompetition Between Firms that Bundle Information Goods
Information goods, such as journal articles, require substantial initial investment, but low incremental reproduction and distribution costs. Advances in computing and digital communications have nearly eliminated these incremental costs. Thus, positive per-item prices are ineÆcient because they discourages consumption with value greater than marginal cost. Further, very low per item prices wil...
متن کاملSpatial Competition with Three Firms: an Experimental Study
The paper reports the results of an experimental study of the three firm location problem. We compare the subjects’ behavior in the experiments with the symmetric mixed strategy Nash equilibrium calculated by Shaked (1982). Overall, the findings are consistent with the equilibrium prediction. However, the subjects’ locations were significantly more dispersed than predicted by the theory. Three ...
