Abstract

Today there is an extensive research literature on entrepreneurship and firm demography. However, even if many studies have identified substantial and persistent variations in entrepreneurship rates across regions in a variety of countries (Georgellis and Wall 2000), most attempts trying to explain entrepreneurship variations have been restricted to industry determinants (Arauzo-Carod and Manjón-Antolín 2007). As a matter of fact, location factors are neglected in most studies trying to explain variations in entrepreneurship.“Entrepreneurial management, or the study of the creation and growth of new companies, has become a prominent field in the literature on management. This field has developed largely independently of location considerations”. Porter (2000, 269). This is astonishing, since there are studies, which show that location factors matter. See, e.g., Reynolds et al. (1993), Audretsch and Fritsch (1994), Garofoli (1994), Guesnier (1994), Malecki (1993), Saxenian (1999), Fotopoulos and Spence (1999, 2001), Berglund and Brännäs (2001), Armington and Acs (2002), Arauzo and Teruel (2005), and Karlsson and Backman (2008).
