| We study the credibility of predation to deter entry in the linear Cournot shipping model of spatial competition with strategic location choice, both on the linear and circular markets. For a high enough discount factor, the monopoly is preserved, but the credibility of predatory conduct is lower on the circular than on the linear market. |
