A Profit Model for Analyzing Retail Industry in a Competitive Market

A traditional profit model is usually simplified, and cannot reflect the complexity of retail industry in a competitive market. In a competitive environment, factors such as market radius, population and transportation cost will affect retail profit in different extent and directions. By over-or underestimating total demand, population density and income, policy makers may conclude a misleading decision of firm entry and competitive strategy. This paper analyzes relative factors and their effects on retail profit, using a modified profit model.
