TLDR
In this paper, a comparative analysis of neighbor relations and market areas of stores calculated using Manhattan and Euclidean metrics is conducted, and three types of comparisons are made: a theoretical comparison of the two metrics, an empirical comparison of a number of statistics relating to market areas and their adjacencies, and a comparison of some test results for spatial predation.About:

Assessing Spatial Equity: An Evaluation of Measures of Accessibility to Public Playgrounds:
Emily Talen,Luc Anselin +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluate the importance of methodology in assessing whether or not, or to what degree the distribution of urban public services is equitable, by means of an empirical case study of the spatial distribution of playgrounds.

Contracting in space: An application of spatial statistics to discrete-choice models
Joris Pinkse,Margaret E. Slade +1 more
TL;DR: The authors developed tests for spatial-error correlation and methods of estimation in the presence of such correlation for discrete-choice models, which are based on the notion of a generalized residual, are a set of orthogonality conditions that should be satisfied under the null.
Journal ArticleDOI
Suitability analysis for siting MSW landfills and its multicriteria spatial decision support system: method, implementation and case study.
TL;DR: A raster-based MC-SDSS that combines the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and compromise programming methods, such as TOPSIS (technique for order preference by similarity to the ideal solution) and Ideal Point Methods is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Was euclid an unnecessarily sophisticated psychologist
TL;DR: A survey of the current state of multidimensional scaling using the city-block metric is presented in this paper, where substantive and theoretical issues, recent algorithmic developments and their implications for seemingly straightforward analyses, isometries with other metrics, links to graph-theoretic models and future prospects are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The general optimal market area model
TL;DR: In this article, a General Optimal Market Area (GOMA) model is proposed to model the tradeoff between economies-of-scale from larger facilities and the higher costs of transport to more distant markets.

Reputation and imperfect information
David M. Kreps,Robert Wilson +1 more
TL;DR: The authors reexamine Selten's model, adding to it a small amount of imperfect (or incomplete) information about players' payoffs, and find that this addition is sufficient to give rise to the reputation effect that one intuitively expects.

Predation, reputation, and entry deterrence☆
Paul Milgrom,John Roberts +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a gametheoretic, equilibrium analysis suggests that if a firm is threatened by several potential entrants, then predation may be rational against early entrants, even if it is costly when viewed in isolation, because it yields a reputation which deters other entrants.

Closest-point problems
Michael Ian Shamos,Dan Hoey +1 more
TL;DR: The purpose of this paper is to introduce a single geometric structure, called the Voronoi diagram, which can be constructed rapidly and contains all of the relevant proximity information in only linear space, and is used to obtain O(N log N) algorithms for most of the problems considered.

Entry deterrence in the ready-to-eat breakfast cereal industry
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an analysis of the ready-to-eat breakfast cereal industry based on and related to the current antitrust case involving its leading producers, using a spatial competition comparison framework with brands assumed relatively immobile.

The Theory of Market Pre-emption: The Persistence of Excess Capacity and Monopoly in Growing Spatial Markets
TL;DR: It was not inevitable that coal should always anticipate increases in demand for ingot and be prepared to supply them as discussed by the authors, but it was inevitable that it [Alcoal] could always anticipate an increase in demand and was always ready to supply ingot.
