Title
Competitive facility location and design problem
Abstract
We develop a spatial interaction model that seeks to simultaneously optimize location and design decisions for a set of new facilities. The facilities compete for customer demand with pre-existing competitive facilities and with each other. The customer demand is assumed to be elastic, expanding as the utility of the service offered by the facilities increases. Increases in the utility can be achieved by increasing the number of facilities, design improvements, or locating facilities closer to the customer.
