Technological spillovers and the location of production in an asymmetric duopoly

Lai, Ping-yen - In: Papers in Regional Science 83 (2004) 3, pp. 597-609

We evaluate the impact of technological externalities on the location choices of duopolistic firms in a Weber triangle. Assuming technological spillover effects to be decreasing in the distance between firms, we show that each firm’s optimum location is independent of a demand shock when the...

Are Antidumping Duties an Antidote for Predation?

Lutz, Stefan; Gaisford, James; Shan (Victor) Jiang - International Centre for Economic Research (ICER) - 2009

Since price discrimination and selling below cost arise in the normal course of business and are usually legal for home firms, countering these practices by foreign firms provides a very weak rationale for antidumping duties. If antidumping duties were to provide a systematic defense against...

Multi-Period Competition with Switching Costs

Beggs, Alan; Klemperer, Paul - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 1990

We analyse an infinite-period model of duopolistic competition in a market with consumer switching costs, in which in every period new consumers arrive and a fraction of old consumers leaves. We show that prices (and profits) are higher than in a market without switching costs, and that this...

Public transport reliability and commuter strategy

Monchambert, Guillaume; Palma, André De - HAL - 2013

This paper addresses the two-way implication between punctuality level of public transport and commuter behavior. We consider a modal competition between public transport and an alternative mode. Commuters may choose different strategies to minimize their journey cost. In particular, when the...

Bertrand-Edgeworth competition with substantial product differentiation

Somogyi, Robert - Közgazdaság-tudományi Intézet, Közgazdaság- és … - 2013

Since Kreps and Scheinkman's seminal article (1983) a large number of papers have analyzed capacity constraints' potential to relax price competition. However, the ensuing literature has assumed that products are either perfect or very close substitutes. Therefore none of the papers has...
