Empirical models of demand for differentiated products

Abstract In this paper I provide an overview of recent advances in modeling demand for differentiated products. I illustrate the power of these techniques by developing a model of demand appropriate for the analysis of retail markets where both consumers and stores are geographically differentiated.
