“…Abundantes estudios de sociología postulan nuevos comportamientos en el uso del tiempo de compra (Glorieux, Mestdag y Minnen, 2008;Neutens, Delafontaine, Schwanen Van de Weghe, 2012). Concretamente, el trabajo de Jacobsen y Kooreman (2005) concluye que la ampliación de los horarios comerciales originó un aumento en el tiempo dedicado a la compra de los holandeses.…”

ResumenLa literatura sobre las bluelaws (regulación de horarios comerciales) es muy amplia e importante, pero sus resultados son muy dispersos y distintos, y siempre ha trabajado con una perspectiva estrictamente sectorial y una metodología univariable. Es necesario estudiar la desregulación de horarios comerciales dentro de un modelo global de cambio, incorporando variables económicas externas (PIB) y variables de competencia endógenas (como las cuotas de superficie comercial). Nuestro modelo destaca que la desregulación de horarios afecta de forma inmediata a las estrategias de tiempo como servicio al consumidor ofertado por los supermercados y los centros comerciales. Que la competencia determina los cambios en la estructura comercial, la productividad y en el empleo del sector. En tanto que la situación de la economía explica las variaciones en las ventas y los precios.Palabras clave: Política Comercial, Horarios, Competencia.Clasificación JEL: M38, D30, C12.

“…All approaches to be presented in this paper rely on the same core scheduling procedure, which has been generalised from Neutens et al (2011) and is pseudocoded in Algorithm 1.…”

“…In Neutens et al (2011), the above procedure has been implemented to maximise the accessibility to a set of public service facilities across a population. However, (public) service providers are unlikely to maximise accessibility, independently from the distribution of accessibility across individuals of the population.…”

Section: Equity Approachesmentioning

confidence: 99%

“…In the approach of Neutens et al (2011), accessibility is maximised across the population, whereas the equity of accessibility among individuals is disregarded. From an equity perspective, this constitutes a utilitarian approach which means that utility is maximised regardless of its distribution (Geurs & Ritsema van Eck, 2001).…”

confidence: 99%

“…With this in mind, we have developed a method to identify the temporal regime that maximises person-based accessibility over (a sample of) a population, which has been documented in Neutens et al (2011). While this method provides insights into the margins within which the overall accessibility can be improved by rescheduling the hours of service delivery, it neglects the equity of accessibility levels across individuals.…”

While many studies have concentrated on the effects of the spatial distribution of services on individual accessibility, only little is known about the ways in which equity of individual accessibility is affected by the temporal organisation of service delivery. This paper seeks to deepen our understanding about the relationship between accessibility, equity and the opening hours of public service facilities on the basis of space-time accessibility measures. Three approaches based on different equity principles are presented to schedule the opening hours of public service facilities: a utilitarian, an egalitarian and a distributive approach. A case study of public libraries in Ghent (Belgium) demonstrates the relevance of these approaches for amending the opening hours of public services to control the equity of accessibility levels across individuals.
