If
mostly financial services many of which are holding companies leading only a
peper existence which makes them all the more mobile it is clear that
commercial business services are by far the most mobile sector both in absolute
members and by migration rate. In the wholesale sector the migration rate is
still very high as well but the absolute members of moving firms are smaller.
Construction and manufacturing are relatively less mobile and the retail sector
seems to be the stickiest sector. This sector has a high mutation rate but
mutations normally take the form of openings and shutdowns much more than relocation's.

Figure
2 shows the firm relocation in the Netherlands in the 1990s in the form of a
map with origins and destinations of long distance relocation. Long distance is
defined as a move across provincial border and thus all short distance
relocation in and between municipalities including the majority of the economic
sub- urbanization around the major cities are omitted in this map.
Even
than it is clear that firm relocation over very long distances is hardly occurs
there are no streams of any importance from the core to the periphery. Firm
migrations concentrate in the economic core area of the Rams tad Holland the
three western provinces with 50% of the nation’s population and economic
activity.
However
the maps also indicate a process of fanning out from the Ramstad to the
adjoining provinces of Cleveland Gelderland and North Brabant a process which
seems to stretch fetcher out in the course of the 1990s if we compare maps a
and b. hassles PhD study concerning the locational dynamics of business
services in the Ramstad Holland gives a more detailed analysis of what is
happening hassles 1992. Both the intensity and the increasing scale of the
economic sub- urbanization process in this office sector are explained mainly
by accessibility related factors.
Car
accessibility and parking space are the most important variables. Generally the
induced mobility aspects of firm location get a more central place in firm
relocation research in the 1990s, which of course reflects the gravity of
growing mobility and traffic problem in most western countries. In the
Netherlands Van Wee was the first study the transport stations on travel behavior
of employees Van Wee 1997. It is not very likely that firm relocation lead to a
reduction in traffic. Brokers and Van Disk 2001 and show that in the nineties
the spatial distribution of the locations of jobs becomes more uneven where the
spatial distribution of the working population becomes more even.
