Data and Code for: The Impact of Distance in Retail Markets

In this paper, we quantify the implications of this improved delivery convenience for consumers’ online shopping behavior and offline store visits. We exploit the staggered roll-out of Amazon’s network to quantify the impact of local network proximity and same-day availability on two measures of demand: online transactions from Amazon, which we obtain from the comScore Web Behavior database, and offline retailer foot traffic from SafeGraph.
