Preferred term

location quotients  

Definition(s)

  • Location quotients are a simple, widely used technique, primarily in economic geography, to measure how specialized the structure of the economy of a given study region is in comparison with a reference region (typically the country). They compare regional structural composition with that of the reference region by assessing an industry's share of a total regional economy relative to its share nationally.
