Focusing on the characteristics of destinations, this paper pursues to identify
the role of spatial spillovers in driving location choices of manufacturing and services´
firms. With this objective a spatial conditional logit framework is defined, allowing for
neighbourhood-related spatial effects. Additionally, a broad indicator of spatial
spillovers generated by a given destination is proposed. The model is then applied to
empirically capture the behaviour of 1.092.864 new firms established in 316
municipalities of the Spanish Mediterranean Arc (SMA) between 1998 and 2008.
Estimation results show that such spatial effects have a remarkable impact on the
location decisions of industrial companies relative to those of services. When the
sample is splitted out by technological intensity of activities, it can be observed that
spatial spillovers are more willing to affect decisions of high-tech companies relative to
those of low-tech ones, particularly for industrial activities. [-]
