| Summary: | This paper explores the business demographics of the Swiss cantons of St. Gallen and the two Appenzells between the years of 1991 and 2006 using entries to the business registers of the these three cantons. Of particular interest are the influences of age, size, industry branch and location on company migration behaviour. In addition, the central spatial distribution of business formations and closures is observed. In a first step, the interrelations are described for the observed business demographic results. Then, the individual effects are tested and quantified with a logit-loglinear model. The model selected makes it possible to explore and quantify the interaction effects between the variables on business demographic behaviour. The results prove that all four factors influence the demographic behaviour of companies. The comparison between the influence of age and size show that age is the predominant variable on migration behaviour whereas the size of a business has a noticeable effect on the exit rate.
