Abstract: This article examines
variations among three widely used secondary information sources for aggregate
office-supply data in the Atlanta MSA. "Market Analysis Surfaces" (MAS) are used
in the study to bypass problems of geo-boundary match among submarkets and to efficiently
compress, represent, manipulate, scan, and analyze the data. The study finds excessive
variations and inconsistencies among the alternative sources: in simple quantitative
terms, in spatial structure of reported market activities, and in spatiotemporal changes
in data.
