Abstract: This paper is an extract of the first and second chapters of my PhD thesis. It would not have been possible without the outstanding supervision which I have received from Marco Francesconi.

I am grateful to the data depositors of the NFS (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs), and to the UK Data Archive, University of Essex, for providing access to the data. I am also grateful to McDonald’s Head Office for providing access to the data on new outlets opening by Local Authority District. Finally, I gratefully acknowledge the support received for this research from Chimera, Institute for Socio-Technical Innovation and Research at the University of Essex.
