Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this paper we aim to explain intuitively heterogeneous firms' optimal location decisions in a simple spatial market. To do so, we present and solve a four-stage game of entry, location, pricing and consumption in a spatial price discrimination framework with arbitrarily many heterogeneous firms. We provide a unique equilibrium outcome without imposing restrictions on the distribution of marginal costs across firms.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The spokes model allows to address nonlocalized spatial competition between firms. In a spatial context, firms can price discriminate using location-contingent pricing. Nonlocalized competition implies that neighboring effects are not relevant to firms. This paper analyzes spatial price discrimination and location choices in the spokes model. Highly asymmetric location patterns are one outcome if the number of firms is sufficiently high: in that case, one firm supplies a generally appealing product whereas others focus on a specific niche. Moreover, multiple equilibria arise for intermediate values of the number of firms. In this case, the location patterns do not always globally minimize the sum of transport costs: asymmetric configurations distribute more efficiently the cost between firms.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Melitz-style model of monopolistic competition with heterogeneous firms is integrated into a simple new economic geography model to show that the standard assumption of identical firms is neither necessary nor innocuous. We show that relocating to the big region is most attractive for the most productive firms; this implies interesting results for empirical work and policy analysis. A `selection effect' means standard empirical measures overestimate agglomeration economies. A `sorting effect' means that a regional policy induces the highest productivity firms to move to the core and the lowest productivity firms to the periphery. We also show that heterogeneity dampens the home market effect.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The presence of sticky, often labelled 'unengaged', consumers is arguably one of the most intractable issues faced by competition regulators, in that it entrenches incumbency advantage. We develop a spatial linear model of heterogeneous switching costs that allows for asymmetric distributions of heterogeneous switching costs. We not only model uniform pricing and history-based price discrimination, but also the impact of regulatory intervention aimed at making it easier for customers to be upgraded to a better tariff from their current service provider, something we call 'leakage'. Finally, we analyse firms' incentive to adopt history-based price discrimination and voluntarily permit 'leakage'

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines how country, industry and firm characteristics interact in general equilibrium to determine nations' responses to trade liberalization. When firms possess heterogeneous productivity, countries differ in relative factor abundance and industries vary in factor intensity, falling trade costs induce reallocations of resources both within and across industries and countries. These reallocations generate substantial job turnover in all sectors, spur relatively more creative destruction in comparative advantage industries than comparative disadvantage industries, and magnify ex ante comparative advantage to create additional welfare gains from trade. The relative ascendance of high-productivity firms within industries boosts aggregate productivity and drives down consumer prices. In contrast with the neoclassical model, these price declines dampen and can even reverse the real wage losses of scarce factors as countries liberalize.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We develop a model of behavior- and characteristic-based discriminatory pricing where consumers are heterogeneous both in tastes and in price sensitivity. Each firm is able to distinguish between the consumers that have bought from it and those that have bought from the rival. Furthermore, each firm learns the price sensitivity of their own consumers. We show that using this additional information may yield higher profits than uniform pricing provided that consumers are heterogeneous enough with respect to price sensitivity. We also discuss consumer surplus implications of such behavior- and characteristic-based price discrimination, and we show that the impact of price discrimination depends on both the consumer type and the level of consumers' heterogeneity.
