Matching office firms types and location characteristics: An exploratory analysis using Bayesian classifier networks

Matching Office Firms Types and Location Characteristics: An Exploratory Analysis Using Bayesian Classifier Networks While most models of location decisions of firms are based on the principle of utility-maximizing behavior, the present study assumes that location decisions are just part of business cycle models, in which location is considered along other business decisions. The business model...

Transport Technologies and Location∗

We present a simple model of spatial competition to analyze the impact of a structural change in transaction (transportation) costs on the location of firms. The distinctive feature of the model is the existence of two markets which are non-connected. This means that a firm willing to sell in the other market must take into account a fixed fee in addition to the usual quadratic transport costs....

Expansion of Location Theories of Firms and Products’ Consistency Using Triangular Distribution Approach
