“…9 In some applications, such as television news scheduling and bus and airline scheduling it is natural to assume that consumers can only move forward to the next 'selling point'. Literature on these applications with directional constraints is quite recent and involves Cancian et al (1995), Nilssen (1997), Salvanes at al. (1997), Nilssen andSørgard (1998), andLai (2001).…”

Abstract. This paper develops a model for multi-store competition between firms. Using the fact that different firms have different outlets and produce horizontally differentiated goods, we obtain a pure strategy equilibrium where firms choose a different location for each outlet and firms' locations are interlaced. The location decisions of multi-store firms are completely independent of each other. Firms choose locations that minimize transportation costs of consumers. Moreover, generically, the subgame perfect equilibrium is unique and when the firms have an equal number of outlets, prices are independent of the number of outlets. Terms of use: Documents in

“…Economists in particular have developed several models to investigate the role of advertising revenues on the quality of content. Relevant works include Spence and Owen (1977), Coase (1966), Beebe (1977), Cancian et al (1995), Motta and Polo (1997), Berry and Waldfogel (1999), Brown and Cave (1992), Owen and Wildman (1992), Dukes and Gal-Or (2003), Wright (1994), and Anderson and Coate (2005). Gabszewicz et al (1999) develop a two-sided market model to study the problem faced by a regulator who may impose quotas on the advertising shares of TV programming.…”

“…1 This paper introduces another explanation of spatial agglomeration in a circular city: directional delivery constraint. Cancian et al (1995) carry out a pioneering work on spatial competition with directional constraints, using a Hotelling-type model to analyze a TV broadcasting game whereby each television network chooses the broadcast time of its evening news so as to maximize its audience. 2 It is worth noting that the Cancian et al (1995) model is the extreme case with asymmetric transportation costs in different directions, which means that moving in one direction is impossible.…”

Nilssen (1997) and Lai (2001) respectively try to expand the Cancian et al (1995) model by allowing a general case for the degree of asymmetry transportation costs and by employing a sequential choice of locations instead of simultaneous choices of locations.…”
