“…By 2003 FDI to China accounted for over 40% of the GDP and China had become one of the largest destinations for international capital (Wu 2009). Firm-level analysis of southern China suggests that small- and medium-sized businesses prefer agglomeration of firms in periphery areas at a given distance from the core city (Ng and Tuan 2003). …”

This paper posits that rural migration feeds the high demand for cheap labor in peri-urbanization, which is driven by globalization, flows of foreign capital, and entrepreneurial local governments. While the gravity model and push/pull perspective ignore the dynamics of migratory course, we use the cumulative causation of migration theory to conceptualize social expectations for outmigration and social resources from migrant networks in destinations. Four major findings are drawn from this demographic analysis based on micro data from China’s 2000 Census. First, the expectation of outmigration significantly increases outmigration, and this effect is independent of push factors. Second, foreign direct investment (FDI) contributes to attracting rural labor migrants from other provinces to peri-urban areas as it does to cities. Third, social resources from migrant networks play an important role in attracting rural labor migrants to both city and noncity destinations. Fourth, the importance of wage differentials declines in gravitating rural labor migrants to peri-urban areas. These findings provide tentative evidence that rural labor migration is indispensable during initial peri-urbanization. Infused with flows of FDI and entrepreneurial local governments, rural migration has created a favorable initial condition for peri-urbanization.

“…This approach assumes that the choice of location depends on utility function (e.g. Felsenstein, 1996;Suarez-Villa & Rama, 1996;Love & Roper, 1999;Frenkel, 2001;Nachum & Wymbs, 2002;Ng & Tuan, 2003;Almazan et al, 2007). Accordingly, the expected benefits derived from a chosen location in a particular site are based on the reduction of transportation and labour cost or on other determinants, such as external economies and market size.…”

The determinants of firms' location choice have changed over time, in particular in the high-tech industry. Few studies that investigate the factors that influence firms' location decision distinguish between firms in their early stages of life cycle and more established high-tech firms. This study identifies the considerations prioritized by high-tech firms in both categories in the process of choosing a location within a metropolitan region for establishing or relocating their business. The intra-metropolitan competition for high-tech plants was examined using data gathered through field surveys of managers of such firms in the Tel-Aviv metropolitan region. The findings shed light on the importance ascribed to internal and external factors in the decision on location made by the firms' managers.
