Although many studies have been conducted on differentiation and imitation, the balance of product similarities and differences in each industry has not been explicit. Hence, this study introduces the concept of imitation and the costs of differentiation and imitation into the Hotelling model to analyze both. Thereby, this analysis shows that firms need not only to differentiate but also to imitate from each other to maximize profits. Thus, increasing product similarities between firms in an industry characterizes that industry as different from others; increasing product differences between firms in an industry increases the diversity of products in that industry.","subitem_description_language":"en","subitem_description_type":"Abstract"}]},"item_14_geolocation_18":{"attribute_name":"地域/国名","attribute_value_mlt":[{"subitem_geolocation_place":[{"subitem_geolocation_place_text":"Theory"}]}]},"item_14_identifier_registration":{"attribute_name":"identifier_registration","attribute_value_mlt":[{"subitem_identifier_reg_text":"10.20561/0002000841","subitem_identifier_reg_type":"JaLC"}]},"item_14_publisher_7":{"attribute_name":"出版者","attribute_value_mlt":[{"subitem_publisher":"Institute of Developing Economies　(IDE-JETRO)"}]},"item_14_rights_5":{"attribute_name":"item_14_rights_5","attribute_value_mlt":[{"subitem_rights":"Copyrights 2024 by author(s)","subitem_rights_language":"en"}]},"item_14_subject_17":{"attribute_name":"JEL分類","attribute_value_mlt":[{"subitem_subject":"JEL:D21 - Firm Behavior: Theory"},{"subitem_subject":"JEL:O3 - Innovation • Research and Development • Technological Change • Intellectual Property Rights"}]},"item_14_version_type_15":{"attribute_name":"出版タイプ","attribute_value_mlt":[{"subitem_version_resource":"http://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85","subitem_version_type":"VoR"}]},"item_creator":{"attribute_name":"著者","attribute_type":"creator","attribute_value_mlt":[{"creatorAlternatives":[{"creatorAlternative":"木村,公一朗"}],"creatorNames":[{"creatorName":"Kimura,Koichiro"}]}]},"item_files":{"attribute_name":"ファイル情報","attribute_type":"file","attribute_value_mlt":[{"accessrole":"open_access","date":[{"dateType":"Available","dateValue":"2024-02-02"}],"displaytype":"detail","filename":"IDP000917_001.pdf","filesize":[{"value":"491KB"}],"format":"application/pdf","licensetype":"license_note","mimetype":"application/pdf","url":{"label":"Full-text PDF","url":"https://ir.ide.go.jp/record/2000841/files/IDP000917_001.pdf"},"version_id":"9a129dfa-8440-420a-8270-e3b3338e11c5"}]},"item_keyword":{"attribute_name":"キーワード","attribute_value_mlt":[{"subitem_subject":"differentiation","subitem_subject_scheme":"Other"},{"subitem_subject":"the Hotelling model","subitem_subject_scheme":"Other"},{"subitem_subject":"imitation","subitem_subject_scheme":"Other"},{"subitem_subject":"industrial variety","subitem_subject_scheme":"Other"},{"subitem_subject":"product variety","subitem_subject_scheme":"Other"},{"subitem_subject":"Theory","subitem_subject_scheme":"Other"},{"subitem_subject":"Business","subitem_subject_scheme":"Other"}]},"item_language":{"attribute_name":"言語","attribute_value_mlt":[{"subitem_language":"eng"}]},"item_resource_type":{"attribute_name":"item_resource_type","attribute_value_mlt":[{"resourcetype":"technical report","resourceuri":"http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_18gh"}]},"item_title":"Imitation Versus Differentiation: Balance Between Product Similarities and Differences in a Hotelling Model","item_titles":{"attribute_name":"タイトル","attribute_value_mlt":[{"subitem_title":"Imitation Versus Differentiation: Balance Between Product Similarities and Differences in a Hotelling Model","subitem_title_language":"en"}]},"item_type_id":"14","owner":"27","path":["1704342972436"],"pubdate":{"attribute_name":"PubDate","attribute_value":"2024-02-02"},"publish_date":"2024-02-02","publish_status":"0","recid":"2000841","relation_version_is_last":true,"title":["Imitation Versus Differentiation: Balance Between Product Similarities and Differences in a Hotelling Model"],"weko_creator_id":"27","weko_shared_id":-1},"updated":"2025-10-29T07:53:17.208889+00:00"}
