Abstract: Nested logit models are introduced and applied to an investigation of location determinants and patterns of foreign logistics services within a Chinese city. The estimation results based on recent census data show that foreign logistics establishments favoured the sites near the central business district. They were attracted by good transport infrastructure and vigorous market demand. High population density deterred foreign logistics establishments, while the availability of supporting services attracted them. We also observed that the central city area's attractiveness to foreign logistics services had decreased since the mid-1990s. Finally, some implications for policy-makers are suggested.
