- Title
The geographical distribution of Portuguese business incubators: An empirical approach.
- Authors
Brás, Gonçalo Rodrigues; Preto, Miguel Torres
- Abstract
This study attempts to develop an ordered logit regression model to identify the determinants of the geographical distribution of business incubators (BIs) in Portuguese regions in 2015. The results show that Portuguese BIs are more likely to be geographically concentrated in regions where the number of patent applications is higher, usually in the larger regions (particularly in metropolitan areas), and mostly in regions with a university. The study clearly demonstrates the importance of Portuguese universities to the location of BIs.
