Duopoly locations and optimal zoning in a small open city
Article Abstract:
A duopoly location model with an asymmetric zoning is analyzed that prohibits firms from locating to a specific interval in a small open linear city. Optimal zoning is about 29.5% of the city with no amenity effect and the absentee landowner eventually confiscates all the land rents raised by zoning.
