The Geography of Competition Firms, Prices, and Localization

From the reviews:

“The author has crafted a carefully written textbook which I recommend both to students in competitive location theory … and to practitioners with an interest in the discipline. One of the book’s nicest aspects is its detailed discussion of the assumptions at the basis of each model. This gives the author the chance to assess the usefulness and limits of each approach, and to relate the entire set of models in terms of questions that can (or cannot) be answered in that specific framework.” (Gaetano Alfredo Minerva, Scienze Regionali, Vol. 11 (2), 2012)

“The geography of competition: Firms, prices, and localization … is a well-crafted, clearly written book that fully completes the agenda it lays out from the outset. It provides an exhaustive, in-depth and excellent study of one of the most important fields in spatial economics. … It is constructed and written in a clear manner. … It is an invaluable reference for researchers as well as students who are concerned with economic geography, regional science, urban economics, location theory, civil engineering, transportation, and urban planning.” (Wei-Bin Zhang, Papers in Regional Science, Vol. 91 (1), March, 2012)
