| Abstract: | The paper analyzes spatial Cournot competition among multi-store firms. It demonstrates that the complex problem of determining equilibrium store locations for competing multi-store firms can be approxiamated by a simple one, in which each firm behaves as a multi-store monopolist in choosing its store locations. A firm's equilibrium store locations often coincide with its monopoly locations, and in general, converge to its monopoly locations as the demand grows larger. |
