THE SPATIAL MONOPSONY: A THEORETICAL ANALYSIS*
推导了空间买方垄断者的关键行为特征，比较了三种定价政策（出厂价、统一运费、空间价格歧视）下的利润与福利，并指出该理论可用于分析森林等可再生自然资源。
ABSTRACT. In this paper some of the most important properties of the behavior of a spatial monopsonist are derived. Many results are mirror images of corresponding results for the spatial monopolist. A few results are, however, genuinely new. A lot of effort is spent in comparing the properties of the profit function under three different pricing policies, f.o.b. (mill)‐pricing, uniform delivered pricing, and spatial price discrimination. It is shown, for example, how the profitability and welfare consequences of the different policies are related to the shapes of the supply and demand functions. It is argued that the theory may have important applications in economic analyses of renewable natural resources such as forests, where total transportation costs are nonnegligible.
