Analyzing the Location Decisions of Agro-Industrial Investments in Greece
نویسندگان
چکیده
This article examines empirically the factors determining the agro-industrial investments in Greece and their impact on tourism development. Firstly, the determinants influencing the spatial configuration, the socioeconomic forces and the political framework of the agro-industrial investments in Greece are examined theoretically, according to the literature considered by Regional Science. At next, a multi-ordinal regression analysis is applied on the determinants elected theoretically, utilizing statistical data from Greece that describe the period 2004-2008. The results of the analysis are interpreted under the regional developmental perspective, constituting an indirect evaluation of the Greek Developmental Laws 3299/04 and 3522/06, applied by the Government to orientate the developmental dynamics of the agro-industry in Greece. Finally, a further analysis is applied comparing the agro-industrial investments with the tourism dynamics in Greece, indicating a field of policy implementation.

Optimizing location, routing and inventory decisions in an integrated supply chain network under uncertainty
This study extends a mathematical model that integrates the location, allocation, inventory replenishment and routing decisions simultaneously. To cope with inherent uncertainty of parameters, we implement a continuous-time Markov process and derive the performance measures of the system. Using the obtained results, the problem is formulated as a mixed integer nonlinear programing model (MINLP)...

متن کاملAgro-industry Location: Theory and Test
This paper poses and tests a new model of the location of plants that process ubiquitously supplied ‘von Thünen’ inputs such as raw farm output. The new model rationalizes why agro-industry is city-located but resource-oriented. It demonstrates the significance of relative transport costs in agroindustry location. Furthermore, we present a unprecedented direct test/empirical confirmation of est...
