Description :
A method is presented for testing the behavioural assumption concerning consumer movements in the theory of Christaller. The method makes it possible to discriminate between falsifying and not falsifying consumer behaviour which deviates from the nearest centre hypothesis. It is based on the use of consumer profiles. A consumer profile indicates the percentages of the consumers of a municipality which patronize a given centre with specified frequencies.
