The present paper demonstrates that the bifurcation analysis method proposed by Akamatsu et al.15) is readily applicable to the retail location model due to Harris & Wilson (1978)1). Employing 4-zone example, we analytically predict when and in which zone the agglomeration of retailers emerge. Our analysis also suggests that “spatial period doubling cascade” previously observed in some new economic geography models, proved in Ikeda et al.14) and Akamatsu et al.15), exists in Harris & Wilson model.
