Abstract

This study addresses the locational puzzle concerning the optimization of firm and residential locations faced by highly educated self-employed entrepreneurs. In contrast to employees, the self-employed have considerable leverage in changing their firm location, which gives them an additional option—apart from a residential move—to resolve household locational issues. Two results stand out. First, firms are generally located very close to the residential location. This reinforces the idea that entrepreneurship is a local event. Second, if other economic activities need to be considered, firm relocation is often used to resolve the locational puzzle.
