“…Clapp and Myers (2000) outline the extent to which urban property research has undergone a Kuhnian paradigm shift. The rich tradition of applied "real estate and urban land economics" that can traced from James A. Graaskamp, through Richard Ratcliff, Homer Hoyt and Ernest Fisher back to Richard T. Ely was overthrown by the urban economics paradigm (or the new urban economics (NUE)) in the 1960s and 1970s (Weiss, 2000). This change heralded the substitution of inductive methods, based on the direct observation of facts, by deductive modes of thought that deploy a set of assumptions in order to deduce logical conclusions.…”

Typically, studies of the occupiers' choice of office property have focused on the influence of location. Following the standard behavioural assumptions of neo-classical economics, the firm is assumed to make the rational profit-maximising decision on the basis of full information. All firms are implicitly assumed to be homogeneous. This general approach eliminates much of the complexity from the decision-making process. This paper uses evidence from a survey of over 100 office occupiers in Edinburgh to examine the influence of a broader range of factors on individual firms' choice of office. Using logistic regression techniques on the survey data, the empirical analysis shows that by taking account of heterogeneity of firms, it is possible to identify the type of property occupied. Firms' decisions are closely related to their size, business type and whether the market they serve is local, regional or national.
