Characterization of Event-Based Supply and Demand in an Urban Market: the Case of Construction Aggregates in Los Angeles

摘要

1. The hybrid spatial interaction model identified several candidate sites that could support a multi-service storefront in Los Angeles. 2. Calculations show the new storefront might realize a dramatic first-mover advantage, achieving robust gains in market share and impressive sustainability benefits. 3. The model may be generalized to other market study areas or other business lines or extrapolated to other industries or lines of business where demand is similarly event-based, such as: 3.1 construction materials following a natural disaster 3.2 emergency medical equipment in response to a disease outbreak 3.3 security services in response to crime.
