First published in 1954, this volume presents a description and
analysis of trends in the structure, organisation and technique of
the distributive trades in the United Kingdom from 1850 to 1950.
Special attention in the work was given to the growth of
large-scale retailing and changes in the character of
consumer-demand and shopping habits in the shops themselves and in
retailing techniques. The study was intended to provide a
contribution to a little-explored aspect of the social and economic
history of the British people and to the economics of distribution
and of scale in distribution. This book is complementary to the
earlier study issued by the National Institute of Economic and
Social Research - The Distribution of Consumer Goods (Cambridge,
1950) - which examined the costs and methods of distribution in one
year. It will remain of value to anyone interested in the history
and development of the British economy.
Originally published in 1950, this book is one of a series of
studies regarding the structure of the British economy which were
produced by the National Institute of Economic and Social Research
after the Second World War. It was produced in collaboration with a
group of leading businessmen, all of whom were concerned in one way
or another with the distribution of consumer goods and dissatisfied
with the existing state of knowledge about distribution. The study
represented a substantial advance in the knowledge of distribution
and an important contribution to structural economics. It will
remain of value to anyone with an interest in the development of
the British economy.
As in the case of the two previous volumes published in 1986 and
1997, the purpose of this monograph is to focus the interplay
between real (functional) analysis and stochastic analysis show
their mutual benefits and advance the subjects. The presentation of
each article, given as a chapter, is in a research-expository style
covering the respective topics in depth. In fact, most of the
details are included so that each work is essentially self
contained and thus will be of use both for advanced graduate
students and other researchers interested in the areas considered.
Moreover, numerous new problems for future research are suggested
in each chapter. The presented articles contain a substantial
number of new results as well as unified and simplified accounts of
previously known ones. A large part of the material cov ered is on
stochastic differential equations on various structures, together
with some applications. Although Brownian motion plays a key role,
(semi-) martingale theory is important for a considerable extent.
Moreover, noncommutative analysis and probabil ity have a prominent
role in some chapters, with new ideas and results. A more detailed
outline of each of the articles appears in the introduction and
outline to assist readers in selecting and starting their work. All
chapters have been reviewed."
