  • Abstract
    In this paper, we use a Japanese data set classified by business category to investigate the extent to which a location model of firms, which has been discussed in the management science literature, can empirically explain the decision of a retailer to open a new store. By testing implications of the theoretical literature, we find that the spatial location decisions of retail outlets depend on the costs to consumers of performing distribution tasks
