A Note on Heterogeneous Demand and Plant Location.

This paper investigates the optimum location of a firm under uniform pricing when demand curves are not identical but are dependent on consumer location. It shows that the Quinn-Alonso-Rydell delivery cost minimization approach no longer applies, and the median location is unlikely to be chosen even if the delivery cost function is linear. These are quite different from the traditional results.
