The Geographical Scope of Industrial Location Determinants: An Alternative Approach
Tijdschrift voor economische en sociale geografie, 2013Co-Authors: Oscar Martínez Ibáñez, Miguel Manjón Antolín, Josep-maria Arauzo-carodAbstract:This paper considers the estimation of the geographical scope of Industrial Location determinants. While previous studies impose strong assumptions on the weighting scheme of the spatial neighbour matrix, we propose a exible parametrisation that allows for di fferent (distance-based) de finitions of neighbourhood and di fferent weights to the neighbours. In particular, we estimate how far can reach indirect marginal e ffects and discuss how to report them. We also show that the use of smooth transition functions provides tools for policy analysis that are not available in the traditional threshold modelling. Keywords: count data models, Industrial Location, smooth transition functions, threshold models. JEL-Codes: C25, C52, R11, R30.

Agglomeration, accessibility and Industrial Location: Evidence from Spain
Entrepreneurship & Regional Development, 2013Co-Authors: Ángel Alañón-pardo, Josep-maria Arauzo-carodAbstract:This paper deals with the Location decisions of manufacturing firms in Spain. We analyse how agglomeration economies and transport accessibility influence the Location decisions of firms at municipality level and in 10 industries. The main empirical contributions of this paper are the econometric techniques used (spatial econometric models) and some of the explanatory variables (local gross domestic product, road accessibility and the characteristics of firms in neighbouring municipalities). The results show that agglomeration economies and accessibility are important in Industrial Location decision-making.

Industrial Location and Spatial Dependence: An Empirical Application
Regional Studies, 2012Co-Authors: Daniel Liviano, Josep-maria Arauzo-carodAbstract:Liviano D. and Arauzo-Carod J.-M. Industrial Location and spatial dependence: an empirical application, Regional Studies. This paper tries to resolve some of the main shortcomings in the empirical literature on Location decisions for new plants, that is, spatial effects and over-dispersion. Spatial effects are omnipresent, being a source of over-dispersion in the data as well as a factor shaping the functional relationship between the variables that explain a firm's Location decisions. Using count data models, empirical researchers have dealt with over-dispersion and excess zeros by developments of the Poisson regression model. This study aims to take this a step further by adopting Bayesian methods and models in order to tackle the excess of zeros, spatial and non-spatial over-dispersion, and spatial dependence simultaneously. Data for Catalonia (Spain) are used and Location determinants are analysed to that end. The results show that spatial effects are determinant. Additionally, over-dispersion is deco...

Industrial Location and interpretation of zero counts
The Annals of Regional Science, 2012Co-Authors: Daniel Liviano, Josep-maria Arauzo-carodAbstract:This paper intends to shed light on the treatment of zero counts in count data (CD) Industrial Location models. An excess of zeros and overdispersion has been dealt with by estimating mixture models such as negative binomial, zero-inflated and hurdle models. However, the existence of a considerable share of zero counts could also have an economic interpretation that is worth investigating. To do so, several CD models focussing specifically on zero-inflated and hurdle models have been fitted and compared to examine empirical data for Catalonia.

Optimal) spatial aggregation in the determinants of Industrial Location
Small Business Economics, 2011Co-Authors: Josep-maria Arauzo-carod, Miguel Manjón-antolínAbstract:Empirical studies on the determinants of Industrial Location typically use variables measured at the available administrative level (municipalities, counties, etc.). However, this amounts to assuming that the effects these determinants may have on the Location process do not extent beyond the geographical limits of the selected site. We address the validity of this assumption by comparing results from standard count data models with those obtained by calculating the geographical scope of the spatially varying explanatory variables using a wide range of distances and alternative spatial autocorrelation measures. Our results reject the usual practice of using administrative records as covariates without making some kind of spatial correction. Keywords: Industrial Location, count data models, spatial statistics JEL classification: C25, C52, R11, R30

economic effect of high speed rail empirical analysis of shinkansen s impact on Industrial Location
Journal of Transportation Engineering-asce, 2012Co-Authors: Ji Han, Peng Jia, Yoshitsugu Hayashi, Quan YuanAbstract:AbstractHigh-speed rail in infrastructure construction has become a priority worldwide, and vast investments have been made; therefore, it has become increasingly necessary to appropriately assess regional economic impact, and more importantly, to deliberate policy to improve regional Industrial development. This paper looks at the impacts of Shinkansen lines on Industrial Locations in Japan. Unlike previous research, this study investigates both socioeconomic factors and physical determinants through an empirical Industrial Location model and multivariable stepwise regressions. The results indicate that during the period of 1990–2000, the dominant driving force of Industrial Location has changed from Industrial transaction interdependence to population consumption demand. The elasticity of accessibility to the Shinkansen network has also shown an increasing trend from 1990 to 2000. Further expansion of Shinkansen lines would encourage the development of several industries, such as real estate, commerce, ...

Impact Analysis of High Speed Rail on Industrial Location: An Empirical Study of Japan Shinkansen
2010Co-Authors: Ji Han, Quan Yuan, Peng Jia, Yoshitsugu HayashiAbstract:Due to the rising priority and vast investment on high speed rail in infrastructure construction world widely, it has become increasingly necessary to make an appropriate assessment of the impacts on regional economy and more importantly to develop strategies and policies toward a sustainable development. This paper looks at the impacts of Shinkansen on Industrial Location in Japan. Differing from the previous research, we highlight the investigation of both socioeconomic factors and physical determinant through an empirical Industrial Location model and multivariable stepwise regressions based on statistical data. The results indicate that during the period of 19902000, the dominant driving force of Industrial Location has changed from Industrial transaction interdependence to population consumption demand. The elasticity of accessibility to Shinkansen network has also shown an increasing trend from 1990 to 2000. Further expansion of Shinkansen lines would encourage the development of several industries like real estate, commerce and services, etc., hence contribute to the regional economic structure formation.

Rationality in Industrial Location Decisions
Urban Studies, 1991Co-Authors: Peter M. TownroeAbstract:Models of the outcomes of decision-making with respect to Location by Industrial companies decentralising from a metropolitan core have made the standard economic assumptions of optimising behaviour under constraints, following a path of instrumental rationality. This paper argues the case for widening the perspectives used in the analysis of Industrial Location decisions to consider both procedural rationality and expressive rationality alongside the standard instrumental view.
