Download or read book Service Industries in Regional Development written by William J. Coffey and published by IRPP. This book was released on 1989 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document presents a broad empirical picture of the national, regional, and urban structure of the Canadian economy. It identifies the factors which may be causing the relative shift towards employment in service industries and occupations, and shows that the lack of actual data on interregional flows of service outputs effectively precludes the empirical testing of regional general equilibrium models involving service industries. It concludes by bringing forth the regional policy implications embedded in the conceptual and empirical work on service industries.
