Abstract
In a spatial competition model, changes in firms’ competitive behaviour may occur when the hypothesis that individual gross surplus is positive in equilibrium is relaxed. We prove that there exists a region of the relevant parameter where firms’ behaviour mimics collusion, while in another range they find it optimal to isolate from each other and behave monopolistically.
