Dartboard tests for the location quotient [PDF]

Regional Science and Urban Economics, 2009
Abstract In this paper we reinterpret the location quotient, the commonly employed measure of regional industrial agglomeration, as an estimator derived from Ellison and Glaeser [Ellison, G., and Glaeser, E., 1997. Geographic concentration in U.S. manufacturing industries: a dartboard approach.

Location quotient-based travel costs for determining accessibility changes

Journal of Transport Geography, 2021
Accessibility is not a static feature because it is affected by a large number of factors, such as changes in transport infrastructure, the spatial distribution of human activities, and their interdependence.

Formulation and application of a multi-variable location quotient index in the Mpumalanga Province, South Africa

Local Economy, 2021
Leading regions drive economic growth and development, and it is important to determine which sectors are driving growth. Leading sectors need to be supported while lagging sectors need to be guided towards growth.

The location quotient as an estimator of industrial concentration

Regional Science and Urban Economics, 2012
Abstract We construct the location quotient (LQ) from a discrete data generating process and formally test its statistical properties. First, we show that the LQ is typically unbiased, but exhibits finite sample bias when assuming a Poisson distribution. Second, we determine the accuracy of statistical tests, which depends of both sample size as well

The Location Quotient – Assembly and application of methodological enhancements [PDF]

, 2010
The location quotient is an easy to use and often used indicator for identifying the clustering of industries, even though it struggles with some problems. This paper assembles different kinds of enhancements of the coefficient taken from the literature, which offer improvements regarding both the accurateness of the quotient and the interpretation of ...

Measuring size distortions of location quotients

International Economics, 2021
Abstract Location quotients (LQ) are a transformation of raw data stored in contingency tables. This transformation has been used frequently in studies involving international trade (under the name ‘revealed comparative advantage’) and in multiple other settings where a total can be disaggregated under at least two independent criteria and thus ...

Focal Location Quotients: Specification and Applications

Geographical Analysis, 2012
Location quotients (LQs) are commonly used descriptive statistics in spatial analysis. They are not directly affected by neighbor relationships, and their calculation ignores spatial information. This article computes LQs as focal, rather than strictly local, functions by incorporating the spatial structure of the observations in the reference group in
