内容提要：
This paper models the timing of price competition in Hotelling’s model as endogenously determined and studies its impact on the firms’ positioning strategies. It is shown that a firm’s location advantage leads to the strategic disadvantage of leading in the price game. Maximum differentiation results if the location space coincides with the market space. However, if the firms are allowed to locate outside the market, no pure strategy equilibrium exists when they position their products simultaneously.
