         摘要:The paper examines the equilibrium of the strategies of “Uniform FOB pricing”, “Discriminatory FOB Pricing”, “Uniform Delivered Pricing” and “Discriminatory Delivered Pricing” between spatial duopolistic firms with linear demand. In equilibrium, there is no difference between the choice of “Discriminatory Delivered Price” and “Discriminatory FOB Price” for firms; the level of differentiation between firms determines the pricing strategies. When the level of differentiation is moderate, “Uniform Delivered Pricing” is a “Prisoner`s Dilemma”; the necessary condition for “Discriminatory Delivered Pricing” or “Discriminatory FOB Pricing” in the equilibrium is that the level of differentiation between both firms is high enough, that is, both firms must have a certain number of loyal consumers. From the perspective of social welfare, if the degree of differentiation between both firms is high, when “Explicit Discriminatory Pricing” (Discriminatory FOB Price or Discriminatory Delivered Price) is prohibited, both firms will choose “Implicit Discriminatory Pricing” (The Uniform Delivered Pricing). In this case, the social welfare is lower than when the firms allow explicit discriminatory pricing.
