title: Drivers of retail vacancy pre-Covid19: The effect of building and location factors
ispublished: unpub
full_text_status: public
abstract: Last recent years, retail vacancy has substantially increased in the Netherlands. A frequently mentioned cause is the rapid rise of e-commerce. A jeopardy is that retail vacancy could eventually lead to the deterioration of buildings and areas accompanied by a reduction in livability. However, little is known about the effects of particular building- and location-characteristics on retail vacancy. This study investigates whether store agglomeration, population density, and building energy efficiency have an influence on retail vacancy. After executing multiple logistic regressions with and without the panel structure taken into account, the results show very few significant effects of building- and location-characteristics on retail vacancy.
