This paper surveys recent evidence on the determinants of (national and/or foreign) industrial location. We find that the basic analytical framework has remained essentially unaltered since the early contributions of the early 1980s while, in contrast, there have been advances in the quality of the data (more firm and plant level information, geographical disaggregation, panel structure, etc.) and, to a lesser extent, the econometric modeling. We also identify certain determinants (neoclassical and institutional factors) that tend to provide largely consistent results across the reviewed studies. In light of this evidence, we finally suggest future lines of research.

Arauzo-Carod J.-M. and Viladecans-Marsal E. Industrial location at the intra-metropolitan level: the role of agglomeration economies, Regional Studies. The objective of this paper is to analyse the influence of agglomeration economies on location decisions taken by new firms inside metropolitan areas. As it is assumed that these economies differ according to firms' level of technology, the sample comprises new firms from high-, intermediate- and low-technology industries. Of particularly interest is in analysing the effects of agglomeration economies that are felt over very short distances (inside the metropolitan areas). Introduced in the estimation is the effect of the central city as a determinant for the location of new firms in the rest of the metropolitan area. Arauzo-Carod J.-M. et Viladecans-Marsal E. Sites industriels au niveau intramétropolitain: le rôle des économies d'agglomération, Regional Studies. L'objectif de cet article est d'analyser l'influence des économies d'agglomération sur les décisions prises par de nouvelles entreprises concernant l'installation de leur site dans des zones métropolitaines. Partant de l'hypothèse que ces économies diffèrent en fonction du niveau technologique des entreprises, notre échantillon comprend des entreprises nouvelles d'un niveau technologique élevé, intermédiaire et bas. Nous nous intéressons particulièrement à l'analyse des effets des économies d'agglomération qui sont ressenties sur de très courtes distances (à l'intérieur des zones métropolitaines). Nous introduisons dans notre estimation l'effet de la ville centrale comme déterminant dans le choix des sites des nouvelles entreprises dans le reste de la zone métropolitaine.

Industriestandorte auf intrametropolitaner Ebene: die Rolle der Agglomerationswirtschaften, Regional Studies. Mit diesem Beitrag soll der Einfluss von Agglomerationswirtschaften auf die Standortentscheidungen von neuen Firmen in metropolitanen Gebieten untersucht werden. Da wir annehmen, dass diese Wirtschaften je nach dem technologischen Niveau der Firmen unterschiedlich ausfallen, enthält unsere Stichprobe neue Firmen aus Branchen mit hohem, mittlerem und niedrigerem technologischen Niveau. Insbesondere interessieren wir uns für die Analyse der Auswirkungen von Agglomerationswirtschaften, die über sehr kurze Entfernungen hinweg (innerhalb der metropolitanen Gebiete) spürbar werden. In unserer Schätzung berücksichtigen wir die Auswirkung der zentralen Stadt als Determinanten für den Standort neuer Firmen im übrigen metropolitanen Gebiet.

Localización industrial en un nivel intrametropolitano: el papel de las economías de aglomeración, Regional Studies. El objetivo de este artículo es analizar qué influencia ejercen las economías de aglomeración cuando las nuevas empresas eligen su localización en áreas metropolitanas. Suponiendo que estas economías difieren en función del nivel de tecnología de las empresas, en nuestra muestra abarcamos nuevas empresas de industrias con tecnologíaalta, intermedia y baja. Nos interesa en particular analizar los efectos de las economías de aglomeración que se hacen palpables sobre distancias muy cortas (dentro de áreas metropolitanas). En nuestro cálculo introducimos el efecto de la ciudad central como determinante para ubicar las nuevas empresas en el resto del área metropolitana.

The aim of this article is to show the main determinants of industrial location processes. To better illustrate phenomena such as agglomeration economies, which are normally studied at the regional level, we use local data. We use the Poisson model to identify the location patterns of firms. Our main statistical source is the Spanish Industrial Establishments Register, which has plant-level microdata on location of new industrial establishments. Our results show that the characteristics of a municipality strongly affect the location decisions of industrial establishments and that these decisions also depend on the sector in which the firm is located and the size of the firm.
