AbstractThe Huff model is one of the most frequently used models in field retail distribution. Traditionally, parameters reflecting effect size and distance on determining customers' purchase probabilities this have been assumed constant along study area. Applying some transformations formulation, these can be calculated by means ordinary least squares (OLS). In paper, we a local regression model, geographically weighted instead usual global OLS with aim considering spatial nonstationarity...

Experiencing the context of a rural environment is fundamental aspect travel. In order to estimate quantitative influences environment, this paper proposes proxy rurality through two indicators: isolation and remoteness. The estimation hedonic pricing model with use both Geographic Information Systems spatial econometrics allows obtaining specific influence these factors on lodging room prices. methodology applied tourist destinations similar characteristics from Eastern (Taiwan) Western...

Abstract. We investigate the ( r ∣ X p )‐medianoid problem for networks. This is a competitive location that consists of determining locations facilities belonging to firm in order maximize its market share space where competitor already operating with facilities. consider six scenarios resulting from combination three customer choice rules (binary, partially binary, and proportional) two types services (essential unessential). Known discretization results about existence solution set nodes...

Tourism generates huge amounts of waste. It has been estimated that about half the waste generated by hotels is food and garden bio-waste. This bio-waste can be used to make compost pellets. In turn, pellets as an absorbent material in composters energy source. this paper, we consider problem locating composting pellet-making facilities so a chain managed at or close generation points. The general objective twofold: i) avoid transportation from treatment points product production demand...

Accommodation services oriented to different tourist segments usually have price determinants. Thus, in multi-facet destinations such as large regions or cities, it should be possible find and describe the underlying types of tourism destination by using a determinant analysis. In this paper, methodology based on stepwise geographically weighted regression (GWR) is developed, k-means clustering algorithm determine existing geographical area. The method applied island Gran Canaria (Canary...

This paper analyses whether peer-to-peer (P2P) accommodation substitutes traditional accommodation, taking into account dynamic and spatial spillover effects. We also analyse the impact of COVID-19 pandemic crisis on demand substitution effect. To do this, we use a panel data model for occupancy rates related to prices P2P units, competitors (hotels apartments) income. Its component allows estimation short- long-term effects income demand. The was applied in Canary Islands, Spain. results...

Peer-to-peer accommodation has grown significantly during the last decades, supported, in part, by digital platforms. These websites make available a wide range of information intended to help customers’ decision. All these factors, addition property location, may therefore influence rental price. This paper proposes different procedures for an efficient selection high number price determinants peer-to-peer when applying perspective geographically weighted regression. As case study, have...

Abstract. In this research note, the follower location problem where customers' choice is based on an attraction function analysed. The depends both distance between customers and facilities, characteristics (quality) of facilities. Customers at each node impose a minimum level in order to patronise facility then they share their buying power among facilities that pass threshold. amount demand captured by these proportional perceived customers. case, discretisation network proved.

Abstract The geographical characteristics of the site where a rural house is located determine its tourist affluence. By using hedonic prices model, this paper estimates influence some spatial and environmental variables in rental houses Gran Canaria, Spain. Geographic information systems (GIS) data are used to measure attributes associated with house, such as land use nearby population density. Other factors traditionally included models also analysed, structural distance points interest....

This article deals with a network competitive localization problem in which firm seeks to determine the location of new facility, competes all facilities operating market, both belonging same and competing firms. In this context, two frequently conflicting objectives are involved: maximization total market share captured by minimization losses for its existing due being facility (cannibalization). We formulate as multi-objective optimization model. Some GIS tools that provide some maps...

Firms normally use either a mill price or delivered policy, depending on market conditions (type of good, transportation way, customers location, costs, etc). In this paper, the problem selecting best location for an entering firm in competition with some pre-existing firms, under each is studied network first time. With pricing, equilibrium rarely exists and it assumed that all competing firms set common customers. there Nash area offered to area. both cases, we consider buy from cheapest...

This work analyses the forces that drive conversion of non-hotel tourist accommodation into residential use. For this purpose, a land use change model considers spatial autocorrelation is proposed and applied to area Maspalomas, in Gran Canaria, Spain, which has suffered an extraordinary process residentialization last decade. The empirical estimates probability resort (apartments/bungalows) located closes its activity within prefixed time period. Results show state neighbouring resorts...

Abstract In this paper, we analyse the long-run equilibrium demand of peer-to-peer sharing economy. Our panel data model relates occupancy rates to relative prices Airbnb and HomeAway listings, competitors (hotels apartments) a proxy for income tourists visiting Canary Islands (Spain). We use fractional heterogeneous which allows more general persistence cointegration relationship incorporates individual interactive fixed effects. find some evidence (fractional) in P2P at listing level....
