Abstract

In this chapter, we characterize the broad patterns in restaurant location across the urban areas of Sweden for the year 2015. Using geo-coded data on the neighbourhood level, we analyse the availability of restaurants at two different neighbourhood aggregations with respect to potential demand, local competition, complementing shopping opportunities, and other characteristics of the urban landscape through a probabilistic empirical framework. We hold constant key characteristics of the urban regions and identify our parameters by exploiting within-region variation at the level of neighbourhoods. Our analysis indicates some but limited strategic complementarities between retail and consumer service branches and restaurants. Any significant probability of finding a restaurant in the neighbourhood with respect to the presence of a service establishment attenuates with distance or entirely dissipates, indicating a highly localized spatial dependence. Employment and population density matter significantly, and their importance extends beyond the very immediate neighbourhood.
