- Thus one could weight the commodities in various proportions to estimate likely household prelerences; we have not done that here.
- A brief example of this procedure is given in R.J.Johnston and A. M. Hay, ‘Variability in grocery prices’, Area. 11(2), 1979, 160-61.
- For an initial attempt to tackle this problem, see A. M. Hay and R. J. Johnston, ‘.Search and the choice of shopping centre: two models of variability in destination selection’, Environment and Planning A, 11(7), 1979, 791-804.
- In Dublin, as many as 21 per cent of a sample of consumers rated cheap prices as the most important factor influencing their choice of grocery store. See A. J . Parker, Consumer behaviour, motivation and perception: a study of Dublin, Department of Geography Research Report, University College Dublin, 1976.
- Evidence from Dublin is that consumers are not that perceptive about prices. See A. J. Parker, ‘Consumers’ perception of prices', National Prices Commission Monthly Report No. 39, 1975, 91-102 and A. J . Parker, Consumer behaviour, motivation and perception: a study of Dublin, Department of Geography Research Report, University College Dublin, 1976.
