Abstract: This study examines the determinants of retail trade capture in nonmetropolitain counties in Illinois using pooled time series and cross-section data from 1984 to 1989. By controlling for fixed effects, the approach avoids misspecification, while revealing trade patterns through time. The findings indicate that demand plays a central role in rural trade. However, the results suggest that structural elements (such as market access and shopping center development) are important and changing over time to the detriment of rural areas.
