Abstract
The core of this article is the description of a computer model which can identify local industrial development potentials by comparing detailed empirical and statistical data about location demands of industrial sectors and location conditions of places. A case study, using the model, is carried out for a border region between the north‐east Netherlands and north‐west Germany (the EDR region). The description of the model and its application in the EDR is preceded by a general discussion about location analysis in modern economic geography, and concluded by sections which describe the future scope as well as the limits of the quantifying approach in location decision analysis.
