Abstract: In this article, we shall first examine the case where both independent firms and firms acting in collaboration are operating in the market. We shall then introduce plant localization and product variety as parameters. Besides the fact that it is useful to look at each of these separetely in analysing industrial structures, it is also worth looking at both together, since geographical localization is considered an aspect of horizontal product differntiation. Regional competition and product competition thus enter into the same analytical framework. The aims are (a) to determine the natural competition of a group of firms operating in different markets and (b) to assess the impact of plant localization and product choice on the structures of these markets.
