Sažetak
The objective of this article is to identify main drivers determining
the geographical location of craft breweries in Slovakia. The main
contribution of the article to the literature is to provide empirical
evidence on the location determines of small firms as well as the
focus on the Eastern European country both of which are less
explored in the literature. The article employs a conditional logit
model on a regional panel data dataset of craft breweries and
location attributes covering 79 counties in Slovakia for the period
1995–2019. The estimated results suggest that agglomeration
economies are key determinants of location choices. However,
the agglomeration of small breweries has notably strong effect,
while the agglomeration of large breweries and past brewing
experience are statistically insignificant in affecting location
choices. Further, important drivers of craft breweries location
choices are demand factors linked to tourist sector development.
Other drivers, such as urban effects, life quality and labour market
conditions, seem not to play role or have rather a weaker impact.
