''The mixed strategy equilibrium of the three-firm location game with discrete location choices''
( 2011, Vol. 31 No.3 )
 
 
In the paper, we derive a symmetric MSE for the three-firm location game on the discrete strategy space. Rather than being uniformly distributed, the MSE for the game has a multimodal distribution. Our theory is more convincing to predict equilibria of three-firm location games in the real world or controlled experiments, where players face finitely many choices.
