Abstract

The beginnings of a theory of location choice by multiproduct forms of different sizes, in a market containing consumers with heterogeneous tastes are presented. It is found that multi--product firms disperse their products if consumer heterogeneity is low or distance between markets is high and that they adopt more dispersed locations than single-product firms to limit business stealing form their own outlets.

5. Product selection by quantity-setting firms

Author

Abstract

A study was conducted to reformulate product selection as a quantity-location game. The reformulation can be justified technologically and through capacity-constraints. Results showed that a tendency to agglomeration is characteristic of quantity-location competition. However, the principle of minimum differentiation and problems of non-existence of equilibrium are absent when locations and quantities are simultanesouly selected. Results further revealed that non-existence problems extend to the two-stage quantity-location game for certain parameter values.
