Abstract

This paper extends previous research in the estimation of minimum demand thresholds for rural commercial sectors by employing count data procedures. Advantages of count data procedures are contrasted with the traditional double-log model. Also discussed is the incorporation of results from count data procedures into a rural commercial sector development strategy.
