Marketing scientists and practitioners have devoted considerable attention to quantitative models in retailing. Recently, their attention has intensified with the emergence of wide array of customer data combined with solid computing horsepower and the science of retailing. This provides a new perspective for retailers that are striving to create value for customers and capture value for shareholders.

The Journal of Retailing is sponsoring a special issue on the topic of "Modeling the Retail Phenomena," which will be published in the Journal of Retailing in early to middle 2009. We invite both empirical and analytic models. The topics could include (but not limited to):

  • Price matching guarantees
