This paper documents the observed decentralization trends of employment in Bogota and Cali using several sets of household survey data and the Colombian social security data. Then, it summarizes the theoretical and empirical framework developed for the location choice of manufacturing firms. Drawing on these behavioral underpinnings of the firm's location choice the paper evaluates several policy issues related with employment decentralization based on the policies implemented in the Seoul region.
