The Stability of Location Quotients
Review of Regional Studies, 2022 Although location quotients are widely used to analyze local industry specialization and identify industry clusters in regions of all size, past studies have noted issues related to the accuracy of location quotients in small places. This paper examines the stability of location quotients in response to a marginal (i.e., one-unit) increase in the ...

On the Location Quotient Confidence Interval [PDF]
Geographical Analysis, 2003 The location quotient is a useful tool for comparing area characteristics. It has applications in areas such as health care and economics. Individual location quotient standard deviations play an important role in comparing area characteristics. Using the Delta Method, a closed‐form expression is derived for calculating the standard deviation of the ...
