toulouse_retail {CoDaImpact}

Simulated retail data for nine shopping malls in the city of Toulouse

Description

This data set provides an example for the use of CoDa models in geomarketing applications. The data is simulated, but realistic in the sense that the parameters used for the simulation were estimated on a real, but confidential data set (Dargel and Thomas-Agnan 2024).

Usage

toulouse_retail

• The figures for POP and MEDIAN_INCOME come from the French census data prided by INSEE.

• The polygon geometry is provided by the IGN.

• The locations of the nine shopping malls around the city center are derived from online mapping services (Google Maps and OpenStreetMap).

• The distances (dist_km) are derived from location information.

• The number of shopping trips (visits) are simulated by the authors.
