Optimum Plant Size and Location: A Case for Separable Programming

John L. Baritelle and David W. Holland

Journal of Agricultural Economics Research, 1975, vol. 27, issue 3-4, 13

Abstract: A basic model is presented as an expansion of the general location model for optimal organization of an industry operating in spatial markets. Complications are introduced into the model : variations in raw product costs, inventory and carryover (considerations, and multiproduct firms. Recent applications of the expanded model and problems encountered are discussed, and computer procedures useful in solving empirical applications are detailed.
