Abstract

This paper discusses the quality signaling in the location game considering search cost. We comment on Paul W.J. de Bijl’s paper published in the International Journal of Industrial Organization and point out that the proof of equilibria in the original article was not complete. We also question the search cost being considered as a variable cost in the original article, and suggest that it is more reasonable to consider it as a fixed cost. The detailed proof is give in the paper and future research ideas are provided.
