Notes
1 The international location literature chiefly concerns the country-level
decisions of foreign direct investors while the intraurban/regional literature
focuses on the subnational location decisions of domestic and foreign in-
vestors. A succinct review of the foreign direct investment literature can be
found in Caves (1996).
2 Recent urban/regional incentive studies include Anderson & Wassmer
(2000) and Fisher & Peters (1999). For a useful topology of location incen-
tives and promotion policies see Bartik (1991).
3 Studies that have highlighted these conflicting results are, for example,
Schmenner, Huber & Cook (1987), Coughlin, Terza & Arromdee (1991),
Ondrich & Wasylenko (1993), and Coughlin & Segev (2000).
4Note that Carlton (1983) avoided this problem by restricting the al-
ternatives to ”those SMSAs in which about 70% of all branch plant births
occurred in the industries under study”(p. 443). This restriction constrained
the number of spatial choices to 39 for SIC 3079, 24 for SIC 3662 and 26 for
SIC 3679.
