Impacts on optimum location of different pricing strategies, market structures and customer distributions over space

摘要: Abstract This paper considers the ways in which pricing policies will affect location choice both monopolistic and duopolistic markets. It is shown that monopolist's optimal depends crucially on shapes of demand delivery cost functions policy applied. The median unlikely to be chosen. With spatial competition, strategies also choice. There greater production concentration under f.o.b. or uniform delivered than discriminatory pricing. For certain consumer distributions, Hotelling-type expected whereas collusion lead some dispersion production.
