"The location of a firm is an important factor that determines the economic performance of the firm.\r\nThe current literature suggests that firms do not have full rationality and that private and personal\r\nfactors can influence the spatial preference of firms. This thesis will focus on the spatial preference of\r\nDutch firms and explaining the factors that influence the pattern of spatial preference of Dutch firms.\r\nThis will be done by creating a mental map of the spatial preference of Dutch firms. The factors that\r\ninfluence spatial preference can be divided into three categories. Firstly, firm-specific factors, such as\r\nsize and sector. Secondly, locational characteristics, such as agglomerations and accessibility. And\r\nthirdly, personal factors, such as social cohesion and pride. Furthermore, special attention will be\r\ngiven to personal characteristics self-preference, and to stereotypes that can influence the\r\nperception of firms. The mental map in this thesis shows that firms prefer central locations like\r\nUtrecht and Rotterdam with ratings dropping as the distance from these centers increases. The\r\nresults from an ordered logistic regression show that firm-specific characteristics, locational\r\ncharacteristics, and personal characteristics all influence how Dutch firms rate different places in the\r\nNetherlands. By including this broad set of factors, policymakers can use these results to better\r\nadjust local marketing strategies by enforcing factors that positively influence the spatial preference\r\nof Dutch firms and tackling the negative factors that influence the spatial preference of Dutch firms."^^ .
