The paper investigates the location behaviour of firms in the electronics industry in Thailand. Our approach is to use a logit model in order to analyse how the characteristics of the firms and the regions are related to the location decisions of firms in these sectors. The logit results throw...

This study uses a log-linear model in order to analyse data on interfirm strategic alliances within the US semiconductor industry. The findings suggest that although the finding that the intensity of information transaction between firms is directly associated with geographical proximity, this...

A number of studies have examined the benefits of regional diversification strategies within commercial real estate portfolios with two approaches adopted; the first is based on primary contiguous geographical regions while the second employs areas based on economic function. In general, the...

Our paper analyses micro-level data from the US and European semiconductor manufacturers. In particular, we will focus on the plants undertaking the wafer manufacturing processes. We integrate a range of production technological indices with spatial data and regional economic variables in order...

Our paper discusses the relationships between gender, higher education human-capital acquisition and graduate labour mobility. Our analysis is based on a survey of 90,000 students which is examined within the context of of a GIS system. Our results suggest that, in addition to both human-capital...

In this paper we employ dichotomous, multinomial and conditional logit models in order to analyse the employment-migration behaviour of some 300,000 UK university graduates. By controlling for a range of variables related to human-capital acquisition and local economic conditions, we are able to...

Our paper analyses micro-level data from Japnese and European semiconductor manufacturers. We integrate a range of production technological indices with spatial data and regional economic variables in order to understand the principalissues determining the location behaviour of this sector. Our...

The major developments in thought regarding regional economic growth and development are traced over the last two decades. The supply-side micro-foundations of regional growth have come under scrutiny in a manner which has previously not been evident. In particular, an examination of the...
