摘要: Studies into the shapes of market areas abound and emphasize hexagon as optimal configuration. This paper demonstrates that a triangular or square area can be superior to hexagonal one under certain behavioural conditions. Spatial configurations are evaluated on basis (1) number firms required fill given (2) level welfare per unit these generate alternative competitive
