We develop a product-differentiated model where the product space is a network defined as a set of varieties (nodes) linked by their degrees of substitutability (edges). We also locate consumers into this network, so that the location of each consumer (node) corresponds to her "ideal" variety....

We study pricing strategies of competing firms that sell heterogeneous products to consumers in a social network. Goods are substitutes and there are network externalities between neighboring consumers. We show that there exists a unique subgame-perfect equilibrium where, in the first stage,...
