Economic Theory, Retail Output and Capacity in British Retailing

David Thorpe

Chapter 11 in Competition and Markets, 1990, pp 153-206 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract To be invited to contribute an essay in a volume celebrating as widely-a respected economist as Margaret Hall is particularly welcome. Lady Hall’s contribution to the understanding of the retail trades in no small part lies in the way in which she has recognised the peculiar problems of applying economic theory to retailing, to her profound dedication to exploring the possibility of quantifying demand and supply in this sector of the economy and, through all this, exploring the implications of public policies on distribution. Over the last 25 years or so, geographers have increasingly become involved in these issues, in part because of the direct, and indirect, stimulation afforded by the work of Lady Hall.
