Demand elasticity affects price policy. In this work, two different scenarios are analyzed: inelastic demand and linear demand as a particular case of elastic demand. In this problem two firms decide locations on a network and prices in a set of spatial separated markets. The competence process is modeled as a two-stage game, locations are decided first and then prices. Nash equilibrium existence in the second stage and a nodal property on the first stage are proved.
