Cournot Retail Chains
构建了零售企业空间古诺竞争模型，分析店铺位置、每地店铺数量和运输成本等结构因素如何影响零售价格和利润，对产业组织和零售经济学研究者有参考价值。
In this paper a model of spatial Cournot competition among retail firms is devised and used to assess the effect of a variety of structural factors on retail prices and profits. The model illustrates the spatial chain of interaction that firms must anticipate to reach equilibrium when organized in chains or as independents. It shows the sensitivity of price to the location of stores, the number of stores per location, and transportation cost.
