【摘要】This paper generalizes Hwang and Mai's (Am Econ Rev 80:567-575; ) model to include labor markets and shows that their results are still valid when the difference of inverse demand slopes is large enough; while; when this difference is small; a monopoly firm always chooses the same (boundary) location under different pricing scenarios. In the latter situation; total outputs are identical in different pricing scenarios; while the social welfare under discriminatory pricing is definitely less than that of the mill pricing. Our results are robust; no matter whether the commuting costs are paid by the firm or workers; and no matter whether wages are discriminatory or uniform. |
