متن کاملSpatial Price Discrimination in International Markets
Firms’ fob prices can vary depending on the distance to the destination market for two reasons: (i) firms can charge a different markup (ii) they can offer a product with slightly different quality.

متن کاملSpatial Price Discrimination with Heterogeneous Firms*
In this paper we aim to explain intuitively heterogeneous firms’ optimal location decisions in a simple spatial market. To do so, we present and solve a four-stage game of entry, location, pricing and consumption in a spatial price discrimination framework with arbitrarily many heterogeneous firms. We provide a unique equilibrium outcome without imposing restrictions on the distribution of marg...

This paper focuses on the spatial price discrimination in an international context, i.e. the impact of distance on fob prices set by exporting firms. The theoretical part of this paper points out the importance of the trade cost formulation on the pricing policy adopted by the firms. The empirical part shows that French firms adopt a reverse dumping strategy. In other word, firms increases thei...

We show that in a distribution channel characterized by a dominant retailer, a manufacturer has incent...
