thesis. This My thesis focuses on accommodation of spatial spillovers, strategic interactions,
or and price endogeneity for location choices
of establishments and firms to provide a more explicit and richer picture of the regional linkages reinforcing local growth and economic development.
More realistically designed location choice models. The developed tool assists in finding a befitting site, which in turn can make a considerable difference for the newly-created business. The contents of the thesis provide some useful recommendations for city planners, transport analysts, real estate agents,
plan developers, urban social theorists, for entrepreneurs, business owners, and shopping center investors. Proposed models account for variables that represent: access to the workforce, demographic characteristics, physical quality, availability of vacant
land,
availability land and of dedicated floor space, accessibility to transport infrastructure (access to public transit networks, road networks), access to other amenities such as universities, services and commerce, pre-existing large establishments and within-industry entities,
and prices and tax levels.
Particular attention was paid My Ph.D. thesis is comprised of six chapters and is written in a form of essays. The general introduction and the overall conclusion encompass four scientific papers entitled: (1) Location choices of newly-created establishments: Spatial patterns at the aggregate level, (2) Why choose one when I can pick both? Marrying metrics using a mixture model of the intrametropolitan location choice of establishments, (3) Location choices under strategic interactions: Interdependence of establishment types, and (4) Locational strategies of multi-store firms: A daytime population. The first paper has been published in the "Regional Science and Urban Economics Journal" (RSUE). The second paper is under the second review at the "Networks and Spatial Economics Journal". The third has been submitted to

%The approach being proposed in this thesis is mostly computational. Techniques explored in this thesis embody the models which use both aggregate and individual data. Discrete choice and count data models have been applied to study the establishment location choices accounting for strategic interactions and spatial effects to capture the surrounding economic landscape.
%Four papers of which this thesis is comprised, sought to open a dialogue with numerous researchers, who voiced in their works some complaints and burning needs to be accomplished.

To describe the life cycle of the establishments, we propose threefold firmographic model which explains the disappearance, evolution and location choice of the business units.
A clear understanding of the behavior of establishments over time is cru-cial in forecasting the development of the region, and related land use and transportation is-sues. The changes in business units affect the spatial distribution of jobs and economic activities in the urban area. These processes are of great interest for both scientists and policy makers. Firmographic models, which we build, may provide a useful tool to develop policies which encourage sustainable economic growth and preserve social systems.
