Start-ups and firm in-migration : Evidence from the Swedish wholesale and trade industry

• We use a data set covering 13,471 Swedish limited liability firms in theSwedish wholesale industries during 2000–2004 to ascertain the determinants of newstart-ups and of in-migration of firms. Access to a large harbor, international airport orlarge railroad classification yard in the municipality nearly triples the number of start-ups and increases the expected number of in-migrating firms with 53%. The presenceof a university, many educated workers and low local taxes are also associated withmore start-ups and firm in-migration.
