Differentiated Bertrand markets: restoring the minimum differentiation principle

Letters in Spatial and Resource Sciences, 2013, vol. 6, issue 2, 103-108

Abstract: I introduce non-perfect substitutability between products into the spatial Bertrand model. I show that if goods are complements, the firms always agglomerate. If goods are substitutes, the firms agglomerate if the transportation costs are not too high. Copyright Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2013
