本研究通过企业选址决策的视角，实证研究了交通拥堵对集聚的影响。应用离散选择模型来检查洛杉矶大都市区内新机构的位置选择。就业中心被定义为探索城市群性质和作用的选择集。结果表明，城市范围内的拥堵对企业进行高阶办公相关活动的选址选择产生负面影响，而局部拥堵则对企业的选址决策产生积极影响。相比之下，从事生产相关活动的企业会受到区域拥堵的积极影响，但会受到当地拥堵程度的负面影响。
This study empirically investigates traffic congestion effects on agglomeration through the lens of firm location decisions. A discrete choice model is applied to examine new establishments' location choices within the Los Angeles metropolitan area. Employment centers are defined as the choice set to explore the nature and role of intraurban agglomerations. The results show that metro-wide congestion negatively affects the location choices of firms in the high-order office-related activities, while local congestion have positive impacts on those firms' location decisions. In contrast, firms in production-related activities are positively influenced by regional congestion but are negatively affected by local congestion levels.
