Product Differentiation,Spillovers and Location Choice--A Model Based On Game Theory
This paper presents a three-stage game where two firms choose location,R&D and price,under the assumption that R&D spillovers depend on firms location.That is,the closer firms are to each other,the greater the benefit they receive from their rivals efforts in quality-enhancing R&D.The paper shows that the distance between firms location increases with the degree of product differentiation and only if when there is no product differentiation,location choice can induce agglomeration.
