Modeling industrial location decisions in U.S. counties



gional Economic Information System (REIS) database published by the Bu-
reau of Economic Analysis (Table CA30 and Table CA05). The number of
establishments at the 2-digit SIC level was obtained from the U.S. Bureau
of Census, County Business Patterns. The source for per capita property
tax is also the U.S. Bureau of Census, Census of Government. Land area is
from the Census Geographic Coding Scheme (GICS).

19The inclusion of time-sectorial dummies in the Poisson model imposes
the restriction that,

J

nkt =    exp(αkt + θ0yjt + β0zjkt),

j=1

where nkt is the total number of investments in sector k at time t. Given
that n
jkt = pjkt.nkt we may compute the marginal effects in terms of their
impact on n
jkt or pjkt . Our explanatory variables are all in logarithmic
form what means that the estimated coefficients can be directly interpreted
as elasticities if we measure the impact on n
jkt. To obtain the elasticities in
terms of p
jkt one should multiply the estimated coefficients by (1 - pjkt).
