The analysis focuses on municipalities in Sweden and is based on the appliance of Tobin’s Q as a measurement of regional attractiveness, inspired by the previous work of Berg and Berger (2006). Nine market determinants were identified and analyzed with respect to regional attractiveness. Out of these, a well-educated labor force, along with the amount of consumer services available within a municipality and its proximity to the coastline proved to induce the most significant influence. Additionally, some evidence of varying impact from the factors was found across urban-rural range.
