“…Both Boehm and Pond (1976) and Lichter and Fuguitt (1980) found a strong correlation between close proximity to a major retail center and location of retail purchases. In particular, Lichter and Fuguitt found that villages which were more distant from urban centers while they lost population "... tend[ed] to retain the traditional role of village longer."…”

“…Age: younger residents do more outshopping (Papadopoulos, 1980;and Leistritz et al 1989). Income: higher income earners outshop more (Flora et al, 1992;Herrmann & Beik, 1968;Boehm & Pond, 1976). Gainful employment leads to more outshopping (Lichter & Fuguitt, 1980); Employment outside of the community encourages outshopping (Boehm & Pond, 1976).…”

“…When residents of an economically delineated area, such as a service/trade center, leave that area to acquire goods Downloaded by [UNSW Library] at 23:08 16 March 2015 and services in another area it is referred to as outshopping (see Boehm & Pond, 1976;Papadopoulos, 1980;Williams, 1981;Anderson & Kaminsky, 1985;Fisher & Woods, 1987;Leistritz et al, 1989). Often the goods and services sought outside of the area are available locally (Papadopoulos, 1980).…”

Using objective indicators to measure service/trade center viability, two communities showing significant variation were examined to see if outshopping was associated with these differences. Respondents listed how often they purchased 29 goods and services in the community as compared to shopping elsewhere. Using t-tests and ANOVA, results show that the majority of respondents in both communities shopped for the combined 29 items outside the community, with the more viable community experiencing significantly more outshopping. Though there were unique differences between the communities on specific items, there was no significant difference between the two communities on the 29 items as a whole. Regression analysis showed proximity to a metropolitan area had a positive effect on outshopping even after controlling for personal characteristics of outshoppers and the possibility that hinterland respondents outshopped more than town residents. Higher incomes, employment, non-local employment, males, and a general satisfaction with life were also associated with outshopping.

“…Property income represents a greater proportion of total income in the 55-64 age group, while transfer income accounts for a greater portion in the 65+ age group (Smeeding and Torrey 1988). Numerous studies indicate consumption habits of these age groups differ from those of younger consumers (Bain 1984;Boehm and Pond 1976;Harmston 1979;McConnel and Deljavin 1983).…”

Despite the fact that nonemployment income makes up approximately one‐third of all personal income, its impact on local area economies has not been closely examined. This study uses Michigan county data to examine the impact of nonemployment income on nonbasic income over a twenty‐seven‐year period. This impact is compared to the impact of basic income by employing regression analysis to estimate comparative multiplier effects for both types of income. Nonemployment income is found to have a significant impact on nonbasic income, particularly in metropolitan and nonmetropolitan urban counties, where its impact appears to be stronger than that of basic income.
