Abstract

It is well known that Hotelling's model of spatial competition has no location-price equilibrium in pure strategies. The present paper studies that model where the linear space is replaced by a one-dimensional bounded space without a boundary, i.e. a circle. It is shown that the modified model does have a subgame perfect equilibrium in pure strategies and that the ‘equal distance’ location pattern is an equilibrium.
