Price Competition on Graphs

Heijnen, Pim; Soetevent, Adriaan - Tinbergen Instituut - 2014

This paper extends Hotelling's model of price competition with quadratic transportation costs from a line to graphs. We derive an algorithm to calculate firm-level demand for any given graph, conditional on prices and firm locations. These graph models of price competition may lead to spatial...
