Measuring and estimating retail productivity
This project develops and applies a new method to estimate the productivity of small and medium retailers in developing countries. Researchers apply their method to a novel retail-specific dataset collected through high frequency surveys of a sample of independent retailers in Lusaka, Zambia. Results from the project suggest the dimensions of productivity are correlated but also contain substantial independent variation.
