Hotelling Games with Three, Four, and More Players
Brenner, Steffen - 2001
This paper extends the standard Hotelling model with quadratic transport costs to the multi-firm case. Considering locational equilibria we show that neither holds the Principle of Maximum Differentiation - as in the duopoly model - nor does the Principle of Minimum Differentiation - as in the...

Product Differentiation and Entry Timing in a Continuous Time Spatial Competition Model
Ebina, Takeshi; Matsushima, Noriaki; Shimizu, Daisuke - 2014
We extend the well-known spatial competition model (d'Aspremont et al., 1979) to a continuous time model in which two firms compete in each instance. Our focus is on the entry timing decisions of firms and their optimal locations. We demonstrate that the leader has an incentive to locate closer...

Estimating the Number of Firms and Capacity in Small Markets
Asplund, Marcus; Sandin, Rickard - 1998
Many oligopoly theories predict that there will be a positive correlation between market size and the equilibrium number of firms, and some also imply that competition is more intense in larger markets. We test these predictions with a sample of 535 driving schools in 249 markets. With an...

The Effect of Entertainment in Newspaper and Television News Coverage
Greiner, Tanja - 2010
In this paper, we analyze the equilibrium amount of entertainment in news coverage of newspapers and television stations. We find that a shift in the inclination to read, expressed by a shift in the (psychological) distance costs, induces both media outlets to incorporate more entertaining...
