Spatial competition among multi-store firms
The paper analyzes spatial Cournot competition among multi-store firms. It demonstrates that the complex problem of determining equilibrium store locations for competing multi-store firms can be approximated by a simple one, in which each firm behaves as a multi-store monopolist in choosing its store locations. A firm’s equilibrium store locations often coincide with its monopoly locations, and...
متن کاملQuality Competition and Market Segmentation in the Security Software Market
Setting u n+1 = 1, from Figure 2, we can find the market coverage of θ j , j = 1, 2, …, n, as x j = u j+1 – u j , which can be summed over j to obtain u i = 1 – G n j =i x j. Substituting this into (2) for i = 1 and noting that p 0 = θ 0 = 0, we find (A1) p G u G x j j n 1 11 1 1 1 = = − = θ θ We will now prove the lemma by induction. It is clear that (3) reduces to (A1) for i = 1...
متن کاملSpatial Competition in Variety and Number of Stores
We propose location-then-variety competition for a multi-product and multi-store oligopoly, in which the number of firms, the number of stores and their location, and the number of varieties are endogenously determined. We show that as compared to price-then-variety and quantity-then-variety competition, location-then-variety competition with multi-stores yields a much richer set of equilibrium...
متن کاملMulti-market Value Creation and Competition∗
We analyze multi-market interactions between firms which must invest limited budgets in value (surplus) creation as well as in competitive rent-seeking activities. Firms are differentiated on a line segment and compete for multiple markets/prizes which differ in the relative effectiveness of each firm’s competitive rent-seeking spending. Each firm faces a dual trade-off: First they must choose ...
متن کاملGeneric entry, price competition, and market segmentation in the prescription drug market
This paper studies the effects of generic entry on post-patent price competition for 18 prescription drugs recently exposed to competition. An independent, validating test of the “generic competition paradox” is conducted using a newly created data set. Each generic entrant is associated with an average 1% increase in the branded price. The one-way error component model accounts for intermolecu...
