| This note examines firm locations in a delivered pricing model with positive production externalities. We find that, quite counter intuitively, firms will disperse rather than move closer, when production externalities are positive and reciprocal. Furthermore, we see a divergence between the private and social optimal locations, which is in contrast to the coincidence of these locations in the standard delivered pricing model. |
