Market failure in the land of Losch

Article Abstract:

Losch's model of spatial competition and firm location is reevaluated. Losch's model produces Pareto efficient outcome, regular hexagonal market areas that are just large enough for the company to earn zero profit. The current research examined the Losch model under more than one scale-economies industry, and found that in the case of a hierarchy of scale-economies industries, profit is still present and social cost is not brought down to a minimum.
