This econometric study covers the latent demand outlook for men's and boys' sweaters, sweatpants, jogging and warm-up suits, playsuits, beachwear and ski apparel made from purchased fabrics excluding swimsuits across the states, union territories and cities of India. Latent demand (in millions of U.S. dollars), or potential industry earnings (P.I.E.) estimates are given across over 5,000 cities in India. For each city in question, the percent share the city is of it's state or union territory and of India as a whole is reported. These comparative benchmarks allow the reader to quickly gauge a city vis-a-vis others. This statistical approach can prove very useful to distribution and/or sales force strategies. Using econometric models which project fundamental economic dynamics within each state or union territory and city, latent demand estimates are created for men's and boys' sweaters, sweatpants, jogging and warm-up suits, playsuits, beachwear and ski apparel made from purchased fabrics excluding swimsuits. This report does not discuss the specific players in the market serving the latent demand, nor specific details at the product level. The study also does not consider short-term cyclicalities that might affect realized sales. The study, therefore, is strategic in nature, taking an aggregate and long-run view, irrespective of the players or products involved.

Product Description
Why would anyone want to kill a jogger? Better than that, why would anyone want to kill three joggers?The jogging directly behind the Philadelphia Art Museum is scenic, bucolic, and fairly quiet in the early morning. For Lieutenant RC Frane and Sergeant Greta Rogers it is the place where shooters do bad things to joggers. That’s just the beginning. Tracking the killer(s) is complicated because there seems to be no motive. What emerges is a complex array of leads and misleads: Fish companies intent on capturing the seafood market, smuggling art and valuables, and worst of all, someone simply looking for excitement. For the two homicide detectives it is a test of their imagination and skill. Oh, they also have to confront the father and wife of one of the victims. It seems they meet regularly at a local hotel, to talk. Along with the help of ADA Chris DeLeon and philosophical restaurateur Leonides Andros, they work through a many-sided set of murders, which increasingly becomes more than they counted on as the bodies multiply. ...

Product Description
This report was created for global strategic planners who cannot be content with traditional methods of segmenting world markets. With the advent of a "borderless world", cities become a more important criteria in prioritizing markets, as opposed to regions, continents, or countries. This report covers the top 2000 cities in over 200 countries. It does so by reporting the estimated market size (in terms of latent demand) for each major city of the world. It then ranks these cities and reports them in terms of their size as a percent of the country where they are located, their geographic region (e.g. Africa, Asia, Europe, Middle East, North America, Latin America), and the total world market.

In performing various economic analyses for its clients, I have been occasionally asked to investigate the market potential for various products and services across cities. The purpose of the studies is to understand the density of demand within a country and the extent to which a city might be used as a point of distribution within its region. From an economic perspective, however, a city does not represent a population within rigid geographical boundaries. To an economist or strategic planner, a city represents an area of dominant influence over markets in adjacent areas. This influence varies from one industry to another, but also from one period of time to another.

In what follows, I summarize the economic potential for the world's major cities for "men's and boys' sweaters, sweatpants, jogging and warm-up suits, playsuits, beachwear and ski apparel made from purchased fabrics excluding swimsuits" for the year 2009. The goal of this report is to report my findings on the real economic potential, or what an economist calls the latent demand, represented by a city when defined as an area of dominant influence. The reader needs to realize that latent demand may or may not represent real sales. ... Read more

Product Description
This econometric study covers the latent demand outlook for men's and boys' sweaters, sweatpants, jogging and warm-up suits, playsuits, beachwear and ski apparel made from purchased fabrics excluding swimsuits across the regions of Greater China, including provinces, autonomous regions (Guangxi, Nei Mongol, Ningxia, Xinjiang, Xizang - Tibet), municipalities (Beijing, Chongqing, Shanghai, and Tianjin), special administrative regions (Hong Kong and Macau), and Taiwan (all hereafter referred to as "regions"). Latent demand (in millions of U.S. dollars), or potential industry earnings (P.I.E.) estimates are given across some 1,100 cities in Greater China. For each major city in question, the percent share the city is of the region and of Greater China is reported. Each major city is defined as an area of "economic population", as opposed to the demographic population within a legal geographic boundary. For many cities, the economic population is much larger that the population within the city limits; this is especially true for the cities of the Western regions. For the coastal regions, cities which are close to other major cities or which represent, by themselves, a high percent of the regional population, actual city-level population is closer to the economic population (e.g. in Beijing). Based on this "economic" definition of population, comparative benchmarks allow the reader to quickly gauge a city's marketing and distribution value vis-a-vis others. This report does not discuss the specific players in the market serving the latent demand, nor specific details at the product level. The study also does not consider short-term cyclicalities that might affect realized sales. The study, therefore, is strategic in nature, taking an aggregate and long-run view, irrespective of the players or products involved.
