Recent attention has focused on the UK's productivity gap in the retail sector. Reynolds et al. (2005) emphasises that a more thorough understanding of what drives productivity in the retail sector requires a better understanding of the ѣomplex mix of urban characteristics, consumer preferences and competitive rivalriesҮ This paper discusses some of the main issues involved in the measurement of productivity in retail, and how these problems are being tackled in new work using microdata on the UK supermarket industry.
