Abstract(s)
This study attempts to develop an ordered logit regression model to identify the determinants
of the geographical distribution of business incubators (BIs) in Portuguese regions in 2015. The
results show that Portuguese BIs are more likely to be geographically concentrated in regions
where the number of patent applications is higher, usually in the larger regions (particularly in
metropolitan areas), and mostly in regions with a university. The study clearly demonstrates the
importance of Portuguese universities to the location of BIs.
