The object of this thesis is to develop an economic framework in which to analyse the effects of regulation and location on retail service station petrol sales. The political leaders of most countries in the world today will attempt to ensure the stable, independent and secure growth of their economies. Oil, whether being produced or consumed, will have an undoubted effect on their strategies. This is particularly true of South Africa, which imports all its crude oil from an ostensibly hostile world. Powerful government controls regulate all aspects of the oil industry, right through to final consumption. Retail service stations, the subject of this thesis, are no exception. They are affected by government propagated barriers to entry, price controls, restrictions on selling hours and restrictions on location, inter alia ... all in an avowedly free enterprise economy. Additional important factors help to shape the service stations as a unique economic entity. Their customers, according to one writer, buy petrol as a rent to use their cars. It is an 'inconvenience' good. Consequently, locational convenience takes on a special importance. 2015-09-23T07:32:46Z 2015-09-23T07:32:46Z 1979 Master Thesis Masters MA http://hdl.handle.net/11427/14054 eng application/pdf School of Economics Faculty of Commerce University of Cape Town |
