摘要:

我们开发了一个企业多特征空间中的位置分析空间模型,其中消费者对企业的产品意见分布在多层网络中。企业不以价格竞争,而是在产品多特征空间中竞争位置,旨在吸引最大数量的消费者。有界理性消费者在可能的可用企业位置上有不同的理想点/偏好,但关键的是,他们受邻居意见的影响。我们提出了一种动态 agent-based 分析,以研究企业的位置选择,将多维产品差异化竞争刻画为管理者的适应性学习过程,并论证复杂系统方法以新的方式拓展了替代分析,超越了博弈论计算。

英文摘要:

We develop a location analysis spatial model of firms' competition in multi-characteristics space, where consumers' opinions about the firms' products are distributed on multilayered networks. Firms do not compete on price but only on location upon the products' multi-characteristics space, and they aim to attract the maximum number of consumers. Boundedly rational consumers have distinct ideal points/tastes over the possible available firm locations but, crucially, they are affected by the opinions of their neighbors. Proposing a dynamic agent-based analysis on firms' location choice we characterize multi-dimensional product differentiation competition as adaptive learning by firms' managers and we argue that such a complex systems approach advances the analysis in alternative ways, beyond game-theoretic calculations.
