Hot Dog Vendors in Rockefeller Plaza

Hotelling’s model (c.f. Varian Chpt 25 [Var05]). Think of a region in which consumers are uniformly located along a line segment [0, 1]. Each consumer prefers to travel a shorter distance to a hot dog vendor (homogeneous good). There are N sellers. Where would we expect these sellers to choose their locations?

Hot Dog Vendors in Rockefeller Plaza

Consumer location is given by  (0 ≤  ≤ 1). n-th vendor’s location is given by n (0 ≤ n ≤ 1). Definition 1.1 (Mill & Delivered Price) 1

is the on-site price of a hot dog. The mill price of the n-th vendor is given by pn .

is the overall cost that a consumer pays for a hot dog, including trip cost. A consumer at  pays . pn + | − n | | {z } |{z} distance to vendor n mill price of vendor n

Hot Dog Vendors in Rockefeller Plaza

Each consumer buys one hot dog. Normalize pn = 1 for all n. Demand faced by Liz is DL (L , K , · · · ) hot dogs. Demand faced by Kenneth is DK (L , K , · · · ) hot dogs. (Assume the cost is sunk, i.e., the vendor has already made enough hot dogs). Liz’s profit is 1 · DL (L , K , · · · ) = DL (L , K , · · · ) dollars. Kenneth’s profit is 1 · DK (L , K , · · · ) = DK (L , K , · · · ) dollars.

Suppose there is a single vendor (monopolist). Question 2.1 (Location of the Monopolist) 1

What is the demand that the monopolist faces?

2

What is the monopolist’s profit when she locates  = 0, .25 and .5?

3

Which location maximizes the vendor’s profit?

4

Which location minimizes total delivered price payed by the customers?

Delivered price is location-variant. Definition 2.2 (Total Delivered Price (TDP)) Total delivered price measures the overall price that consumers paid to purchase their hot dogs. It is equivalent to vendor’s profit and the aggregate sum of | − L | from  = 0 to  = 1. TDP(L = 0) = 1 + .5 = 1.5 = TDP(L = .25) = 1 + TDP(L

What is socially optimal for the economy as a whole is L = .5 (minimizes total cost of trip while maintaining the profitability). What is privately optimal for the vendor is any L in [0, 1]. Question 2.3 (Profit Maximization and Social Welfare) Is there any way that Liz chooses L = .5 by herself? Is political intervention necessary to realize L = .5?
