Optimum office location and the comparative statics of information economies
从理论上分析了办公区位选择,考虑劳动力市场可达性和信息分布成本,并比较了单中心和多中心聚落体系下最优区位随信息量变化的规律。
Kutay A. (1986) Optimum office location and the comparative statics of information economies, Reg. Studies 20, 551–564. In contrast to industrial plant location, most studies of office location depend on an empirical rather than a theoretical basis. This study provides a theoretical analysis of office location which incorporates accessibility-to-labour-market costs and the distribution cost of information produced by the office. Rate of change of the optimal location is analysed with respect to a change in the volume of information produced under two scenarios: location in a conventional uni-nodal settlement system and location in a multicentred settlement system of the information age.
