Abstract

Fotheringham's production-constrained competing destinations model is shown not to be supported by the data on which it is calibrated. The spatial variation in origin-specific distance-deterrence parameters which prompted his theory is shown in the case of airline passenger data which he used to be the result of contamination of the data by a modal share effect. And the apparent success of his model in reducing the spatial variation is shown to be coincidental.
