Abstract

JOHNSON P. and PARKER S. (1996) Spatial variations in the determinants and effects of firm births and deaths, Reg. Studies 30, 679--688. This paper models the interdependence between firm births, firm deaths and economic variables, using county level data for the UK. It examines the determinants of births and deaths, as well as outlining a modelling process which incorporates two other features that have not been considered to any great extent elsewhere: firstly, a systematic approach to birth/death interdependence; and secondly, treatment of the economic variables as endogenous, i.e. subject to influence by births and deaths. Since the data relate to the UK counties, the paper is clearly relevant to the analysis of regional development and to the role of flows into and out of the business sector in that development. JOHNSON P. et PARKER S. (1996) Les variations géographiques des déterminants et des effets des naissances et des décès d'entreprises, Reg. Studies 30, 679--688. A partir des données pour le Royaume-Uni établies au niveau des comtés, cet article cherche à modeler l'interdépendance des naissances d'entreprises, des décès d'entreprises et des variables économiques. Il examine les déterminants des naissances et des décès, ainsi qu'esquisser une façon de modeler qui comprend deux autres caractéristiques qui n'ont pas attiré beaucoup d'attention: en premier une façon systématique d'aborder l'interdépendance des naissances et des décès, et en deuxième la façon de traiter des variables économiques comme endogènes, c'est à dire sujettes à l'influence des naissances et des décès. Etant donné que les données se rapportent aux comtés situés au Royaume-Uni, il va sans dire que l'article est pertinent à l'analyse du développement régional et, dans le contexte de ce développement, au rôle des flux à destination et en provenance du secteur commercial. JOHNSON P. und PARKER S. (1996) Räumliche Abweichungen in den bestimmenden Faktoren und Auswirkungen von Firmengründungen und -schließungen, Reg. Studies 30, 679--688. Dieser Aufsatz stellt ein Modell der gegenseitigen Abhängigkeit von Firmengründungen, Firmenschließungen und wirtschaftlichen Veränderlichen dar, wobei auf Grafschaftsebene erhobene Daten für das Vereinigte Königreich benutzt werden. Er untersucht die bestimmenden Faktoren in Gründungen und Schließungen und skizziert einen Modellbauprozeß, der zwei weitere Merkmale einbezieht, welche sonst nirgendwo in hohem Maße in Betracht gezogen worden sind: erstens das systematische Angehen der gegenseitigen Abhängigkeit von Gründung und Schließungen, und zweitens die Behandlung der wirtschaftlichen Veränderlichen als endogene Faktoren, d.h. dem Einfluß von Gründung und Schließung unterworfene Faktoren. Da die Daten sich auf Grafschaften Englands beziehen, ist der Aufsatz offensichtlich sowohl von Bedeutung für die Analyse regionaler Entwicklung als auch für die Rolle der Strömungen in und aus dem Geschäftssektor in eben dieser Entwicklung.
