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

Location quotient and trade

The Annals of Regional Science, 2008
Economic base analysis suggests that export expansion should be the primary engine of regional economic growth and the most commonly employed approach to identifying specialization is the location quotient (LQ). Similarly, the law of comparative advantage represents a conceptual framework for determining the type of trade.

Clustering: Spatial Autocorrelation and Location Quotients

2018
Geographic concentration of employment types frequently yields clusters exhibiting moderate-to-strong positive spatial autocorrelation. Such clusters based upon geographic proximity, and frequently quantified with location quotients, also can relate to local indices of spatial autocorrelation, such as LISA and the Getis-Ord statistics.

Location Quotient EIO-LCA Method for Carbon Emission Analysis

2012
Promoting environmentally conscious energy policies to reduce carbon emissions is a mutual duty of the international community. Several cities or government regions have implemented strategies and means to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. New efforts focus on introducing green policies, which reduce the largest contributors of the carbon footprint in ...

Determination of Location Quotient of Organic Agriculture in Türkiye

Tekirdağ Ziraat Fakültesi Dergisi
The main objective of the study is to determine in which provinces organic agriculture is clustered in Türkiye. Location quotient is one of the most widely used indices in regional concentration measurements and expresses the degree of specialization of a certain production activity within a country/region/sector or the relative concentration of a ...
