Abstract

Despite significant advances in spatial interaction methodology and modelling, the analysis of establishment migration has exhibited only limited progress. In particular, such analysis has concentrated on approximating movement by a continuous probability process. The purpose of this paper is twofold: first, to illustrate the fact that establishment relocation is, and can be, more appropriately modelled as a discrete distribution process; second, to examine the rationale and performance of a standard unconstrained gravity model applied to industrial migration data in the United Kingdom. Evidence suggests that both the discrete probability process and the gravity model framework provide a foundation for the continued empirical investigation of establishment migration patterns.
