| Abstract: | This paper provides a new explanation for the geographical agglomeration of very similar oligopolistic firms, reverse of the Hotelling model. The paper shows that geographical separation of product differentiated oligopolists across two market-places can lead to fierce price competition, analogous to that of homogenous product Bertrand models, if consumer access costs are homogeneous and products are sufficiently good substitutes. |
