外商直接投资(FDI)作为全球化时代的一种新型产业设施，已成为城市结构塑造的新动力。要了解当前世界范围内的城市结构调整进程，应充分调查外国直接投资公司的区位行为。但关于工业区位的实证研究很少在大都市范围内进行，这可能是因为缺乏分类数据和适当的模型。这项研究通过其邮政编码对外国直接投资公司进行地理参考，并通过交叉参考公司分布与其他空间覆盖范围(如人口统计、土地使用和指定的开发区)来获取地点属性。本文论证了基于计数数据的企业区位泊松和负二项模型，并以中国广州市为例进行了检验。与以前在该国国家和区域范围内进行的研究相比，结果证实，至少在统计上，转型经济背景下的城市内外国直接投资公司选址呈现出规律性，可以根据对选址适宜性的“理性”经济考虑加以解释。
As a novel type of industrial establishment in the era of globalization, foreign direct investment (FDI) has become a new driving force in the shaping of urban structure. To understand the current worldwide urban restructuring process, the location behaviour of FDI firms should be fully investigated. But few empirical studies on industrial location have been carried out at the intrametropolitan scale, probably due to the lack of disaggregated data and appropriate models. This study geo-references FDI firms by their postal codes and captures site attributes through cross-referencing firm distribution with other spatial coverage such as population statistics, land uses, and designated development zones. This paper argues for a Poisson and negative binomial model of firm location based on count-data and tests such a firm location model using the case of metropolitan Guangzhou, PRC. Results, in contrast to previous studies at the national and regional scales of this country, confirm that, at least statistically, intra-urban FDI firm location in the context of a transitional economy presents regularities that are explainable according to `rational' economic considerations of site suitability.
