摘要
The attractiveness of retail facilities is an essential component of models analyzing competition among retail facilities. In this paper we introduce an innovative method for inferring retail facility attractiveness. Readily available data from secondary sources about customers' buying power and sales volumes obtained by competing retail facilities are used. The gravity-based competitive facility location model is used to predict sales. The attractiveness of the retail facilities are inferred from these data.
