Bargaining Structures and Agendas in an Unconstrained Hotelling Model

Buccella, Domenico - In: Czech Economic Review 8 (2014) 3, pp. 149-167

The present paper investigates the effects of bargaining structures and agendas on the quality differentiation … linear city model. The presence of labor union(s) and the bargaining processes (i.e., centralized vs. decentralized structure … of exogenous production costs. The results reveal that the effect of centralization on the two bargaining agendas is …

Merger, Partial Collusion and Relocation

Posada, Pedro; Straume, Odd Rune - In: Journal of Economics 83 (2004) 3, pp. 243-265

We set up a three-firm model of spatial competition to analyse how a merger affects the incentives for relocation, and conversely, how the possibility of relocation affects the profitability of the merger, particularly for the non-participating firm. We also consider the cases of partial...

Market definition with differentiated products: a spatial competition application

Elizalde, Javier - In: European Journal of Law and Economics 36 (2013) 3, pp. 471-521

This paper applies the ‘hypothetical monopolist’ test of market definition to a retail market with products differentiated by means of location and other dimensions. The test for defining the relevant product and geographic market follows the conditions required by the European Union...

Estimation of party positions: A comment on Schofield and Zakharov (2010)

Turyna, Monika - In: Public Choice 153 (2012) 1, pp. 163-169

We show how choice of the method of measuring the party positions impacts the conclusions about equilibrium positions of parties in a spatial model. We find that for the same set of voters’ ideal points we should observe either divergence or convergence to the mean, depending on the choice of...

Collusion in Spatially Separated Markets with Quantity Competition

Andree, Kai - In: Journal of Industry, Competition and Trade 13 (2013) 3, pp. 309-318

This paper develops the incentives to collude in a model with spatially separated markets and quantity setting firms. We find that increases in transportation costs stabilize the collusive agreement. We also show that, the higher the demand in both markets the less likely will collusion be...

Isodistant points in competitive network facility location

Pelegrín, Blas; Suárez-Vega, Rafael; Cano, Saúl - In: TOP: An Official Journal of the Spanish Society of … 20 (2012) 3, pp. 639-660

An isodistant point is any point on a network which is located at a predetermined distance from some node. For some competitive facility location problems on a network, it is verified that optimal (or near-optimal) locations are found in the set of nodes and isodistant points (or points in the...

Dynamic Spatial Competition Between Multi-Store Firms

Aguirregabiria, Victor; Vicentini, Gustavo - University of Toronto, Department of Economics - 2012

We propose a dynamic model of an oligopoly industry characterized by spatial competition between multi-store retailers. Firms compete in prices and decide where to open or close stores depending on demand conditions and the number of competitors at different locations, and on location-specific...

On Modeling Transport Costs

Martinez-Giralt, Xavier; Usategui, José M. - Barcelona Graduate School of Economics (Barcelona GSE) - 2006

The interpretation of the loss of utility as transport costs in address models of differentiation poses a methodological difficulty. Transport costs implicitly amounts to assume that there is a good neither included in the differentiated sector nor in the composite (numeraire) good of the...

Borders, Geography, and Oligopoly: Evidence from the Wind Turbine Industry

Cosar, A. Kerem; Grieco, Paul L. E.; Tintelnot, Felix - İktisat Bölümü, İktisadi ve İdari Bilimler Fakültesi - 2012

Using a micro-level dataset of wind turbine installations in Denmark and Germany, we estimate a structural oligopoly model with cross-border trade and heterogeneous firms. Our approach separately identifies border-related from distance-related variable costs and bounds the fixed cost of...

Collusion and the political differentiation of newspapers

Antonielli, Marco; Filistrucchi, Lapo - NET Institute - 2011

We analyse a newspaper market where two editors first choose the political position of their newspaper, then set cover prices and advertising tariffs. We build on the work of Gabszewicz, Laussel and Sonnac (2001, 2002), whose model we take as the stage game of an infinitely repeated game, and...
