L’objectif de ce papier est de mettre en évidence les résultats des nouvelles théories de la localisation qui sont susceptibles d’expliquer les localisations industrielles en zones rurales. Une revue orientée de la littérature récente d’économie géographique est présentée, dans...

This paper investigates the impact of monopsony power on the location decision of the firm. It shows that if the transportation rates are a function of distance only and the production function is homogeneous of degree one, the optimum location is independent of monopsony power. However, if the...

This study investigates factors determining the location of foreign direct investments (FDI) in Sweden. The main purpose is to examine the link between FDI and public incentives, in the form of regional grants, which make up a central part of the Swedish regional policy and state expenditures...

It is well understood that the two most popular empirical models of location choice-conditional logit and Poisson - return identical coefficient estimates when the regressors are not individual specific. We show that these two models differ starkly in terms of their implied predictions. The...

This article aims to analyse the factors that determine the existence of multi-unit firms and that influence the intensity of their organisational fragmentation. More precisely, we identify the firm’s internal characteristics and their spatial, sectoral and competitive environments that are...

Low corporate taxes can help attract new .firms. This is the main mechanism underpinning the standard "race-to-the-bottom" view of tax competition. A recent theoretical literature has qualified this view by formalizing the argument that agglomeration forces can reduce firms' sensitivity to tax...

This paper analyses empirically how differences in local taxes affect the intraregional location of new manufacturing plants. These effects are examined within the random profit maximization framework while accounting for the presence of different types of agglomeration economies (localization/...
