Modeling
firm relocation: an ordered log it approach
The
methodology used in these studies fits in the tradition of firm migration
research with the use of rather descriptive methods. In the next paragraph we
will present an example of a study in which some of these issues are analysed
by means of more rigorous statistical models using packers and movers pune
and movers and packers pune
a data set with information of individual
Dutch firms.
In
the foregoing three strands of theoretical aspects with regards to firm
relocation are discussed and also an overview is given of the empirical studies
since World War II. Besides location factors that are traditionally used for
the explanation of firm relocation. Another important issue is often less
appropriate for the explanation of firm relocation because the latter is by
definition heavily influenced by the situation at the location before the move.
This past behavior path dependency in
combination with the expected future developments of the firm and the
environment requires a more dynamic type of theoretical framework in which
behavioral and evolutionary elements play a more prominent role. The decision
process for firm relocation is a very complicated process in which several
stages can be distinguished. In each stage another set of variables can be the
most important factor.
Another
issue is that most studies of firm relocation are of a rather descriptive
nature, where nowadays more rigorous statistical methods could be applied to
test hypothesis derived from the theoretical approaches described in section2.
In
this section we will summaries the result of a Dutch study in which an empirical
model for the explanation of the stated preference of firms to move to another
location is estimated based on micro data for Dutch firms Van Dijk and
Pellenbarg, 2000c. Although this study does not take in to account the
different stages in the decision process, it is in our view a useful example to
show how statistical methods can be used to get more insight in the extent to
which the various theoretical notions mentioned before can be empirically
verified. The stated preference of the firms with regard to migration in this
model is related to a set of variables according to the subdivision in three
categories suggested by Lloyd and Dicken 1977:
·
Firm internal factors
·
Location factors site and situation
·
Firm external factors
