This paper analyses the relationship between spatial dynamics of firms and employment growth in the region. Moreover, it addresses the facilitating or impeding role of (new) industrial sites in the geographical process of firm and job dynamics, while recognising that the spatial dynamics of...

The location behaviour of modern multinational multi-plant firms appears to exhibit increasingly a flexible mobility pattern with a strong tendency towards footlooseness. The spatial-economic dynamics - often across the border - of such firms is sometimes encapsulated in the term 'nomadic...

Substantial differences exist among fuel taxes in various countries. These differences represent a form of fiscal competition that has undesirable side effects because it leads to cross-border fuelling and hence to extra kilometres driven. One possible way of solving the problem of low fuel...

This paper regards cultural heritage as a strategic development tool for urban tourist policy. It highlights the use of e-services as a central instrument in a competitive tourist sector. The appropriate choice of e-services - and packages thereof - depends on the various strategic...

The ISAAC project has generated a wealth of new insights on cultural tourism. Particular attention has been paid to the strategic and operational importance of e-services in various European cities. The present paper brings together empirical insights from two angles, viz the supply and demand...

Nowadays, e-services technology has demonstrated a pervasive character in the modern tourism industry. E-services implemented by the tourism industry, e.g., e-tourism, appeared to produce significant cost reductions and market efficiencies. Since online services are continuously accessible, time...

Recent location patterns of modern firms appear to exhibit high mobility patterns with a tendency towards footlooseness. The spatial-economic dynamics - sometimes across the border - of firms is encapsulated in the term ‘nomadic firms’. This paper adresses the issue of nomadic behaviour of...
