Abstract
The production-constrained gravity formulation is shown to be an especially inaccurate specification of reality whenever the selection of destinations by individuals results from a hierarchical choice process. Hierarchical decisionmaking violates the Independence from Irrelevant Alternatives property embedded in the theoretical derivation of the production-constrained gravity model from choice axioms. Various aspects of gravity model misspecification resulting from hierarchical destination choice are investigated and an empirical example is given in terms of US migrants. A discussion is presented of several destination choice models that are more accurately specified than the gravity formulation when destination choice is hierarchical. The recently derived competing destinations formulation is shown to be amongst the most useful in this respect. The discussion is framed in the context of discrete choice theory.

485 Citations1983A. Stewart Fotheringham
Members of the family of spatial-interaction models commonly referred to as gravity models are shown to be misspecified and an undesirable ‘spatial-structure effect’ in estimated distance-decay parameters is examined.

A number of mechanisms are explored for modelling equilibrium values of attractiveness terms in production-constrained spatial-interaction models, including revenue and facility-size balancing, a differential-equation representation of profit maximisation, and mathematical-programming formulations.

156 Citations1983A. Stewart Fotheringham
It is shown that, if competition exists between destinations or, alternatively, if agglomeration effects are present, the gravity model is misspecified and estimated distance-decay parameters obtained from the model are related to spatial structure.

This is the first of four papers concerned with developing a comprehensive approach to the spatial aggregation problem in gravity models, and a framework for exploring the problem is outlined, and will be applied to one-dimensional and two-dimensional spatial interaction models in the subsequent papers.
