摘要: This paper examines the role of structure transportation rates in Weber-Moses triangle model. It shows that, Zeigler's analysis, appearance price elasticities demand for inputs actually vanish by a simple application envelope theorem. Applying comparative statics we show when are function quantity and distance, assumptions that production is homogeneous degree one with respect to distance constant not sufficient insure optimum location independent level output. result significantly different from obtained either Miller Jensen or Zeigler.
