Abstract

The paper analyses locations of headquarters of companies and their interactions by inhomogeneous point process, especially local scaling principles, because companies choose their locations according to the number of the local population. Relationships of the companies within economic sectors are studied using the analysis of locally scaled L function. The inhomogeneity was modelled using the local population, then the company’s size was included. Lastly the level of clustering in each sector was computed. The companies are located in three regions in the Czech Republic. It was found out that the companies tend to cluster when the population or the companies’ size is taken into account.
