hotelling.profits(lower.bound = 0, upper.bound = 1, s = 1, t = 1,
  print.details = FALSE, choice1, choice2)

Arguments

lower.bound

Customers are uniformly distributed in the intervall [lower.bound, upper.bound]

upper.bound

Customers are uniformly distributed in the intervall [lower.bound, upper.bound]

s

Prohibitive price of customer

t

Factor determining how much the customer loathes distance

print.details

When TRUE the function prints various details and intermediate calculations.

choice1

choice of first company. The choice has to have the structure list(p=<numerical price>, l=<numerical location>).

choice2

choice of first company. The choice has to have the structure list(p=<numerical price>, l=<numerical location>). Note that in contrast to some standard notations of the hotelling game the location choice of firm2 is given in absolute values and neither starting from the lower bound nor from the upper bound.
