Abstract: A clear understanding of behavior of establishments over time is crucial in forecasting the development of the region, and related land use and transportation issues. The changes in business units affect the spatial distribution of jobs and economic activities in the urban areas. To describe the life cycle of the establishments, we propose threefold firmographic model which explains the disappearance, evolution and location choice of the business units. We also compute the creation rates across various activity sectors and all counties of Paris Region to get possibly the most detailed overview of changes of the business units. This working paper extends a research founded by The Regional and Interdepartmental Direction of Public Works and Urban Development (DRIEA) on 2008.
