We develop a model of spatial competition with two heterogeneous in their market access chains, choosing between third-degree price discrimination in their local markets (flexible pricing) and a unified chain-level price (uniform pricing). The markets are interconnected with each other via...

Much of the land economics literature has largely ignored the spatial nature of competition and related differences between farmland rental and sales markets. In this note we propose a model for price formation in both markets under a spatial competition framework. We demonstrate that price...

This study provides a test for measurement of spatial competition in residential real estate markets. Several alternative spatial competition measures are tested. We employ a Bertrand oligopoly model with differentiated products and adopt a Spatial Autoregressive model using a two stage least...

In this article, we analyze competition for agricultural land as an important, scarce and immobile input. The cost of cultivating a parcel of land depends strongly on the distance from the farmer to the plot, leading to spatially small land markets. To investigate this issue, we are able to use...

Much of the land economics literature has largely ignored the spatial nature of competition and related differences between farmland rental and sales markets when assessing return rates from farming, the capitalization of agricultural, environmental and energy policy into land values, and...

This study examines the dynamics of the exploitation of a natural resource distributed among and flowing between several nodes connected via a weighted, directed network. The network represents the locations and interactions of the resource nodes. A regulator decides to designate some of the...

This paper analyses the pass-through rates and their determinants of the temporary German fuel discount in 2022 at its start and its termination. Based on a unique dataset of fuel station characteristics and prices, we employ a Regression Discontinuity in Time (RDiT) methodology to estimate...

The spatial distribution of production is a defining characteristic of agriculture, and the location choice in geographic space and the spatial pricing policies adopted by agricultural processing/packing firms are key determinants of the competitiveness and efficiency of agricultural product...

Motivated by ride-hailing marketplaces, we present a model of two-sided matching platforms that participate in a duopoly market with spatial frictions. Both platforms face disjoint streams of service requests, but they share the same resources on the supply side, i.e., suppliers multi-home. Due...

We examine the effect of inter-group fiscal competition on within-group violent conflict. Using a triple difference design, we exploit exogenous variation in the degree to which villages in sub-districts compete for public funds. We find that higher competition between villages reduces conflict...

This paper estimates the effects of a subway expansion on labor market outcomes in Santiago, Chile. First, we estimate these effects through a reduced-form analysis. We find changes in work locations and wages consistent with a reduction in firms' labor market power in areas where the subway...

This study empirically examines bank spatial competition within the rural banking setting of Indonesia. The specific focus is on bank cost efficiency. It presents a new competition measure based on two spatial variables: physical distances and Thiessen polygon market boundaries. This study uses...

This paper studies empirically the relationship between competition and risk taking in banking markets. We exploit an unique dataset providing information about all bank loans to Norwegian firms over several years. Rather than relying on observed market shares, we use the distance between bank...

The retail industry is one of the top spenders in advertising, and retailers are keen to design an effective ad campaign targeting a relevant audience. We study how the effects of retail advertising on store traffic depend on customer location, ad content, and behavioral attributes using...

This paper proposes a two-player spatial competition model where each player controls multiple nodes and studies the equilibrium dynamics. Specifically, the model studies the case where players sell goods of the same utility but have different ability to continue attracting customers. The paper...
