The Effect of Unrestricted Sunday Trading on the Spatial Pattern of Retail Rents

Abstract

Considers the potential impact of seven‐day trading on the spatial pattern of retail rents. Notes that the Institute of Fiscal Studies predicts that Sunday trading will have no appreciable effect on the overall level of turnover in the retail sector resulting in a decline in the real value of retail rents. Concludes that shopping areas in large town centres are most vulnerable to a decline in retail activity.
