We start by quantifying the research in this field by using bibliometric tools. Thereafter, this study identifies the main research paths within spatial competition modelling. Specifically, the type of strategy (Bertrand vs. Cournot competition), the assumptions that are made in respect to the market (linear vs. circular), production costs, transportation costs, the number of firms and the type of information (complete vs. incomplete) and their effects on the location equilibria are also discussed. Resumenes Esta revisión crítica se centra en el desarrollo de modelos de competencia espacial de tipo Hotelling en los que la elección de la ubicación de las empresas desempeña un papel importante. El artículo empieza con la cuantificación de la investigación en este campo por medio del uso de herramientas bibliométricas. A continuación, el estudio identifica las principales líneas de investigación relacionadas con la elaboración de modelos de competencia espacial. En concreto, se discuten también el tipo de estrategia (competencia de Bertrand vs. Cournot), las suposiciones que se hacen en relación con el tipo de mercado (lineal vs. circular), los costos de producción, los costos de transporte, el número de empresas y el tipo de información (completa vs. incompleta), y sus efectos sobre los equilibrios de localización.
