Location Factors |
|
|
|
|
|
Comparing location factors |
|
|
Through a survey of companies, BAKBASEL inquires what factors are important in choosing a location. Based on this survey, BAKBASEL develops various indicators to measure the attractiveness of locations: |
|
|
|
|
|
Accessibility 
| |
|
For international companies and institutions, the geographic accessibility of a location is becoming more and more important. BAKBASEL measures and compares the global and continental as well as the regional and interregional accessibility of regions. |
|
|
|
|
|
Innovation
| |
|
In high-wage countries, continuous innovation is the engine for the development of a sustainable competitive knowledge-based economy. BAKBASEL has developed a model to measure a region’s capacity for innovation through various indicators. |
|
|
|
|
|
Quality of Life
| |
|
For international competitiveness of location factors, the availability of highly skilled workers is a key factor. BAKBASEL investigates the attractiveness of metropolitan regions for highly skilled workers by using a variety of individual factors from the fields of economy, companies and environment. |
|
|
|
|
|
Regulation
| |
|
The decision whether a company launches new products on the market or creates new jobs, depends, in part, on how regulated the economy is. BAKBASEL helps to compare the international indicators for product and labour market regulation. |
|
|
|
|
|
Taxation
| |
|
The BAKBASEL Taxation Index for taxation on companies and on highly qualified employees is calculated as an effective average tax rate (EATRs) based on the model developed by Devereux and Griffith (1999). Every two years BAKBASEL publishes the BAKBASEL Taxation Index with indicators and analyses for regions and countries. |
