Abstract: In this project we seek to fill a gap in empirically supported knowledge linking the survival and economic success of business establishments to local land use and access to the transportation system that serves these establishments. We investigate this relationship for the entire State of California over the last two decades while controlling in a statistically robust way for a variety of factors influencing business life cycle events, such as closures, formation/birth, and relocation. We accomplish this by combining longitudinal business establishment population event data, various transportation access and level of service indicators, and geographical market size from available US Census data. In additional, we narrow our analysis to a specific year and region in order to investigate a broader ranger of industries and utilize a detailed accessibility dataset for Southern California.
