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 prefectures and cities of Japan. Latent demand (in millions of U.S. dollars), or potential industry earnings (P.I.E.) estimates are given across some 1,000 cities in Japan. For each city in question, the percent share the city is of it's prefecture and of Japan 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 prefecture 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.

This study does not report actual sales data (which are simply unavailable, in a comparable or consistent manner in virtually all of the cities in Japan). This study gives, however, my estimates for the latent demand, or the P.I.E., for men's and boys' sweaters, sweatpants, jogging and warm-up suits, playsuits, beachwear and ski apparel made from purchased fabrics excluding swimsuits in Japan. It also shows how the P.I.E. is divided and concentrated across the cities and regional markets of Japan. For each prefecture, I also show my estimates of how the P.I.E. grows over time. In order to make these ... Read more

Product Description
This econometric study covers the latent demand outlook for women's and girls' sweatpants, bodysuits, bodyshirts, jogging and warm-up suits, playsuits, rompers, and beachwear made from purchased fabrics excluding swimwear 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.

Great Find!
I found this book in my mother's basement and I absolutely love it. I have found it very inspirational. I am 42 and I love running but have never gotten further than 3-6 miles per run. I have surpassed that and am training for a 1/2 marathon mostly because of the motivation I am receiving from this book. I relate to the authors experience and am having fun comparing the 70s viewpoint to today's views on the sport. I actually do think running is a total metaphor for my life experience and this book is strengthening that awareness, and therefore affecting other areas of my life positively. I only gave 4 stars because some info is dated (even though I find the dated stuff fascinating) and I haven't totally finished the book yet.
Happy reading and running!

pointless
Henning is just an average runner who for some reason thought he was qualified to write a book.He has no original content and his Sheehan-esque running-as-a-metaphor-for-life philosophy is crap.Read Lydiard or something. ... Read more
