Consider the horizontal quality model on the unit interval from 0 to 1. There are N consumers located uniformly along the interval. There are two firms, with zero marginal costs, initially located at 0 and 1. Consumers will buy one unit of the good from the lowest- cost retailer as long as the effective price is below V . They have transportation costs of t getting from their location to the store and back.
