The Effect of E-commerce on Grocery Store Choice and Retail Competition
Clara Etcheverry. Not indexed, 2022-11-23
Topic: Risk, prevention and care in population studies
Abstract E-commerce continues its expansion, and most retail groups have opened online distribution channels in the French grocery market. Using purchasing data, I develop a store choice model and a supply model to estimate the effect of the online distribution channel on consumer welfare and retail competition. E-commerce leads to a very small decrease in consumer surplus. Furthermore, only online leaders obtain more market shares and profits while the majority globally get lower market shares and profits with e-commerce.

Why it matters
This study models how e-commerce affects grocery store choice and retail competition, not Alzheimer's disease, so it provides no information on treating, curing or preventing Alzheimer's. It found e-commerce led to a very small decrease in consumer surplus.
