This article investigates the selection of a distance measure in location modeling. While in the empirical literature the choice usually boils down to picking one single measure, this research proposes a flexible approach in which several measures may be used in parallel to capture the surrounding economic landscape. This is intended to acknowledge that interactions between agents may take several forms, occurring through different channels and as such being based on different measures. The methodology is applied to the location choice of establishments in the Paris region, using a mixture of ”mono-distance” hurdle-Poisson models. Seven distance measures are considered: Euclidean distance, the travel times by car (for the peak and off-peak periods) and by public transit, and the corresponding network distances. For all the economic sectors considered, the mixture of hurdle-Poisson models performs significantly better than the “pure” mono-distance models. This corroborates that local spatial spillovers are indeed channeled by different means, hence best represented using several measures. The combination of peak and off-peak road travel times (slightly) outperforms other combinations including the Euclidean distance, supporting the choice of meaningful over more abstract measures in spatial econometric models. The distance measure most likely to capture local spatial spillovers varies depending on the economic sector examined, reflecting differences between sectors in operations and location choice criteria.

位置选择混合模型中欧氏距离,旅行时间和网络距离的比较

本文研究了位置建模中距离度量的选择。尽管在经验文献中,选择通常归结为选择一项措施,但这项研究提出了一种灵活的方法,其中可以并行使用几种措施来捕获周围的经济前景。这旨在确认代理之间的交互可以采取几种形式,它们通过不同的渠道发生,并且因此基于不同的度量。结合“等距”跨栏-泊松模型,将该方法应用于巴黎地区企业的选址。考虑了七个距离度量:欧几里得距离,乘车(高峰期和非高峰期)和公交的乘车时间以及相应的网络距离。对于所考虑的所有经济部门,跨栏-泊松模型的混合表现明显优于“纯”单距离模型。这证实了局部空间溢出确实是通过不同的方式进行的,因此可以使用几种方法来最好地表示出来。高峰和非高峰时间的旅行组合(略)胜过其他组合,包括欧几里得距离,支持在空间计量经济学模型中选择有意义的,更抽象的度量。距离度量最有可能捕获本地空间溢出效应的方法因所考察的经济部门而异,反映了运营部门和位置选择标准之间的差异。这证实了局部空间溢出确实是通过不同的方式进行的,因此可以使用几种方法来最好地表示出来。高峰和非高峰时间的旅行组合(略)胜过其他组合,包括欧几里得距离,支持在空间计量经济学模型中选择有意义的,更抽象的度量。距离度量最有可能捕获本地空间溢出效应的方法因所考察的经济部门而异,反映了运营部门和位置选择标准之间的差异。这证实了局部空间溢出确实是通过不同的方式进行的,因此可以使用几种方法来最好地表示出来。高峰和非高峰时间的旅行组合(略)胜过其他组合,包括欧几里得距离,支持在空间计量经济学模型中选择有意义的,更抽象的度量。距离度量最有可能捕获本地空间溢出效应的方法因所考察的经济部门而异,反映了运营部门和位置选择标准之间的差异。支持在空间计量经济模型中选择有意义的,而不是更抽象的度量。距离度量最有可能捕获本地空间溢出的结果,取决于所考察的经济部门,反映了运营部门和位置选择标准之间的差异。支持在空间计量经济模型中选择有意义的,而不是更抽象的度量。距离度量最有可能捕获本地空间溢出效应的方法因所考察的经济部门而异,反映了运营部门和位置选择标准之间的差异。
