Recent location patterns of modern firms appear to exhibit high mobility patterns with a tendency towards footlooseness.

The location patterns of modern firms appear to exhibit floating patternswith a tendency towards footlooseness. The spatial-economic dynamics - sometimes across teh border - of firms is encapsulated in the term 'nomadic firms'. This paper adresses the issue of nomadic behaviour of firms against...

As is well known housing has a unique set of characteristics which interact to cause the operation of the housing market to be significantly different from that of other markets. On the demand side individuals have to search for vacancies and its characteristics. Due to the high dimensionality...
