This paper examines the employment effect of wage discrimination in the well-known Weber-Moses triangular model. Assume that the plant location is a choice variable. It shows that the wage discrimination will change total employment of a monopsony if the supply labor curves in two separate...

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...

This paper examines the impact of demand on the location decision of a monopsonistic firm in the Weber-Moses triangle with one output and two inputs. When the distance of the plant location from the product market is held constant and the expansion path is linear through the origin, the analysis...

This paper presents a profit-maximizing location model to investigate the impact of demand on the optimum location decision of a firm in the Weberian triangle. It will be shown that: (1) when the distance of the firm's location from the product market is held constant, the optimum location for...
