| This paper studies the problem of
location-quantity choice in a duopoly in which the wage paid by each
firm is set by the corresponding monopoly union. Compared with the
outcome obtained in location-price choice game, we find that the
wage setting choice for both unions does not change in our model,
they still choose to set wage sequentially. The equilibrium
locations are not influenced by the timing of wage setting. |
