Overview: The author developed and estimated a model of spatial competition between grain elevators which is explained in this paper. Grain elevators compete over space for products, which they in turn supply to the market and form the demand for transportation. The author model these supply and corresponding transportation demands as a function of prices, transportation rates and a variety of control variables. These control variables capture the spatial environment from which decisions are made. A variety of models designed to capture geographic differences in the elasticity parameter are employed to uncover structural breaks in the data along the geography of the network.
