“…These regional economies have a services sector that is orientated towards business, despite there being a limited industrial base. Other factors may explain this: for example, the Lazio region hosts Rome which, as both a metropolitan city and the national administrative capital, attracts firms of a professional and entrepreneurial nature, such as real estate activities, renting, research and other professional and business activities (Airoldi et al., 1997; Glückler, 2007; Jennequin, 2008; Senn, 1993; Singhal et al., 2009). This could suggest a dynamic that is the reverse of the theoretical model often assumed in the literature: business services develop independently and then attract new types of manufacturing.…”

The paper aims to identify the weight of, and principal dynamics in, the manufacturing and service sectors in the Italian regions, in order to better recognise and define the development paths of individual regional economies. On the basis of data published by the National Statistics Institute, a cluster analysis was carried out. The results show a differentiation in the dynamics of tertiarisation, with some regions ready to strengthen services within a virtuous cycle that also favours the development of manufacturing, while other regions appear anchored to an almost pre-industrial model, where the service sector is principally made up of the public administration.

“…Producer services are the bellwether of metropolitan growth (Airoldi et al ). They are a critical and rapidly‐growing component of the post‐industrial U.S. economy (Krippner ; Sassen ), and they spur economic development and innovation by driving within‐firm efficiencies for those that they service (Greenfield ).…”

Growth and Change

Harrington and Campbell (1997) previously illuminated the pattern of producer services' suburbanization in the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area between 1970 and 1992. Their results showed producer services growing at a faster rate at locations farther from the central city. We revisit the topic utilizing data from 2004 to 2010, assessing not only changes in the distribution of producer services since their work, but also the impact of massive increases in defense spending on producer services' growth throughout the first decade of the twenty-first century. Multivariate linear regression is used to estimate per capita growth of producer services employment using six independent variables. Our results reveal producer services employment during the time period has grown significantly more quickly in the urban D.C. core than the outer suburbs, contrary to Harrington and Campbell's research. Additionally, we find per capita producer services employment is self-limiting over the study period: locations with more producer services employment in 2004 experienced significantly less producer services growth over the period. We find federal procurement has no correlation on producer services overall, with limited effects on some subsectors. Analyzing a select group of producer services subsectors revealed that no sectors followed the overall model exactly, suggesting that targeting producer services for growth must be done carefully. None of our models show employment diversity to be a factor in differentiating economic growth at the intra-metropolitan level.

“…La mayoría de las publicaciones especializadas en las grandes urbes se ha circunscrito a describir la morfología que caracteriza al tejido metropolitano, como lo evidencian los múltiples nombres con que se ha bautizado. No obstante, ciertos artículos más analíticos abordan algunos de los factores determinantes del patrón metropolitano contemporáneo y, lo que es más importante, establecen que la configuración espacial resultante es el producto final de su larga evolución histórica (Gottdiener, 1985;Airoldi et al, 1997;Stoper, 1997;Capello, 2007;Hutton, 2008;Beall y Fox, 2009).…”

En este artículo se analiza la evolución de la conformación espacial del sector servicios en la Zona Metropolitana de la Ciudad de México de 1960 a 2008. El escrito está estructurado en cinco incisos principales, en los que se estudia la distribución del producto interno bruto de los establecimientos comerciales y de servicios localizados en las cinco zonas en que se subdivide la metrópoli. Se calculan tres indicadores para medir y analizar la evolución de la localización de las actividades terciarias en cada etapa de la expansión de la urbe. En su formulación más general, se concluye que el nodo central aumenta su índice de concentración relativa durante todo el periodo, imprimiendo a la ciudad una conformación espacial clásica de sus actividades terciarias, esto es, con una significativa tendencia decreciente del centro a la periferia. AbstractThis paper’s proposal is to analyze the evolution of the spatial conformation of the service sector within the Metropolitan Area of Mexico City from 1960 to 2008. The document, divided in five major sections, studies the gross domestic product distribution of the commercial and service activities located in five areas in which the metropolis is subdivided. Three indicators are calculated to measure and analyze the evolution of the location of tertiary activities in each stage of the expansion of the city. In its most general formulation, it is concluded that the central node increases its index of relative concentration throughout the period, gives the city a spatial classical tertiary organization of activities, that is, a significant downward trend from the center to the periphery.
