Book Summary

This research looks at the spatial agglomeration in the automotive parts industry on a county and ZIP code level. The driving distance between Advance Auto Parts and AutoZone stores is used as a measure of spatial differentiation. The effects of intra and inter-brand competition, density, and infrastructure are examined using a multiple regression analysis. The results provide evidence that common infrastructure leads to agglomeration, however the impact of competition is only evident in selected areas.
