Abstract

We consider the location of a single-plant firm in a continuous space under five different pricing policies: (i) spatial discriminatory pricing; (ii) uniform delivered pricing; (iii) uniform mill pricing; (iv) zone pricing; and (v) mixed pricing where clients have the choice between pick-up or delivery. Global optimization methods are proposed for solving the cOlTesponding problems and numerical experiments are reported on.
