Resumen
Descripción
This paper analyzes 11 regions in a midwestern state where big-box building materials stores have opened. The zero-sum-game theory is verified; the sales gains in the host counties equaled the losses in the surrounding counties. The results are important to existing merchants and local officials in setting strategies and policies.
