摘要:Recent studies have shown that barriers to entry for large retail establishments in Spain have been in-
creased in the last decade. Using information on local markets, we test whether the entry of large re-
tail establishments was effectively limited by regional regulation and whether it effectively protected
in-town shops from competition. We find that if entry barriers were reduced to their average level in
1997, the number of large retail establishments would increase by 11.7%. We also find that over-regu-
lation in 1997 has improved in-town shops’ market position, with their number increasing by 13.8%.
