Headquarters in Canada: An Analysis of Spatial Patterns

Exploring Economic Development Through Headquarters: The Spatial Distribution of Turkey's Large Industrial Enterprises and Its Implications for Urban Systems

“…Examples have emerged particularly from larger territories such as the United States (Goodwin 1965;Semple 1973;Borchert 1978;Shilton and Stanley 1999;Ono 2006), Canada (Carroll 2001;Meyer and Green 2003;Rice and Pooler 2009;Rice and Lyons 2010), Australasia (Johnston 1966;Johnston and Rimmer 1967;M. J. Taylor and Thrift 1980;Tonts andTaylor 2010, 2013), China (Wu and Ning 2010;Pan and Xia 2014;Pan et al 2015), and Europe (Doma nski 2004; Bel and Fageda 2008;Doma nski and Gwosdz 2009).…”

Location and agglomeration of headquarters of publicly listed firms within China’s urban system

“…Since the 1990s, however, there has been a resurgent interest in the topic. Most studies have focused on countries with larger territories, e.g., the United States (Ono, 2006;Shilton & Stanley, 1999), Australia (Tonts & Taylor, 2010, 2011, Europe (Bel & Fageda, 2008), and Canada (Meyer & Green, 2003;Rice, 2010;Rice & Pooler, 2009). …”

“…It has been widely observed that headquarters of large firms are agglomerated in metropolitan areas (Meyer & Green, 2003;Semple & Phipps, 1982;Strickland & Aiken, 1984;Tonts & Taylor, 2010). Previous studies have found that headquarters were extremely agglomerated in only a few cities in some European countries.…”

Building a “Headquarters Economy”: The geography of headquarters within Beijing and its implications for urban restructuring

“…Most of them have focused on the distribution of HQ among different cities (Bel & Fageda, 2008;Klier, 2006;Meyer & Green, 2003;Pan & Xia, 2014;Rice, 2010;Rice & Lyons, 2010;Tonts & Taylor, 2011, 2010. Theoretical and empirical research suggests that HQ are highly agglomerated in metropolitan areas in western countries (Davis & Henderson, 2008;Henderson & Ono, 2008;Lovely, Rosenthal, & Sharma, 2005;Strauss-Kahn & Vives, 2009).…”

“…Recent studies on the geography of HQ of large firms among Chinese cities found that HQ are mostly concentrated in large cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen (Pan & Xia, 2014;Wu & Ning, 2010). It is pointed out that HQ are highly agglomerated within metropolitan areas as well (Meyer & Green, 2003). However, the spatial patterns and underlying mechanisms of the HQ distributions within a city have been underexplored.…”
