A method of determining a price sensitivity index for one or more retail units is based on the relation between profits, sales or traffic and a fixed weight price index based on information from individual retail units. Statistical regression and the theory of the single-product firm is used to analyze the relation between changes in performance variables and changes in the price index, leading to a unit-specific index of sensitivity. This information allows stores to be sorted into those which can see price aggression, those which cannot, and those which are likely to respond to promotions.
