Abstract

Consumer store choice preferences are linked to retail trading areas by a new measure of the forces of geographical competition in marketing. Initial examination suggests that existing methodology does not model the overlap between intra-urban trading areas correctly. The new measure may also offer improved opportunities for the study of consumer propensity to search.
