EXERCISE 73.1 (Electoral competition between candidates who care only about the
winning position) Consider the variant of Hotelling's model in which the can-
didates (like the citizens) care about the winner's position, and not at all about
winning per se. There are two candidates. Each candidate has a favorite position;
her dislike for other positions increases with their distance from her favorite po-
sition. Assume that the favorite position of one candidate is less than m and the
favorite position of the other candidate is greater than m. Assume also that if the
candidates tie when they take the positions x₁ and x₂ then the outcome is the com-
promise policy (x₁+x₂). Find the set of Nash equilibria of the strategic game
that models this situation. (First consider pairs (x₁, x2) of positions for which ei-
ther x₁ < m and x2 < m, or x₁ > m and x₂ > m. Next consider pairs (x₁, x2) for
which either x₁ <m < x₂, or x₂ < m < x₁, then those for which x₁ = m and
x₂ ‡ m, or x₁ ‡ m and x2 = m. Finally consider the pair (m, m).)
