Abstract
Using the Hotelling approach to product differentiation, this article derives the equilibrium product configurations and prices when two fir ms enter and sell in two interdependent markets separated by barriers to trade. It shows that product imitation and no trade as well as prod uct differentiation with two-way or one-way trade are all consistent w ith the equilibrium.
