AB  - The theme of regional centrality, more commonly known as accessibility, has been increasingly invoked in
recent years, mainly due to a clearer understanding that proximity to the markets is a key determinant of
the location of firms. This chapter improves the most standard accessibility index using a decomposition
method that allows considering the influence of (1) internal and external factors and (2) economic and
geographical aspects. Each component identified has a specific interpretation and allows the identification of policy recommendations, such as the development of the transport and communication networks
and active interventions to attract investment. The baseline decomposition method is adjusted in order
to incorporate differences in spatial terms among the regional units considered. In order to illustrate
the proposed methodology, the authors consider 171 countries. Results lead to the conclusion that the
centrality level of the countries analyzed derives from different sources. Therefore, different countries
may require different policy interventions to improve their centrality.
