Abstract

In this paper a number of locational explanations of retail price variation are examined using a price survey of two shopping baskets in Cardiff. From the results it can be seen that distance-decay and zonal hypotheses are not supported by the Cardiff data but significant price differences do exist if the type of location is analysed with controls for organisational type and store size.
