摘要:This paper studies an empirical model of spatial competition applied to gasoline markets. The main feature is to specify commuting paths as the locations'' of consumers in a Hotelling-style model. As a result, spatial differentiation depends in an intuitive way on the structure of the road network and the direction of traffic flows. The model is estimated using panel data on the Quebec City gasoline market and used to evaluate the consequences of a recent vertical merger. Difference-in-differe...

The model matches well data on quantities, asset prices, and particularly the relations between quantities and prices, sugge...
