Abstract: The growth of output and employment in services and their dominance in many local economies have increased academic interest in service activities. This paper is an examination of the contribution of producer services to the economy and their role in uneven development. Questions of definition plague the analysis of services, and a definition and classification of producer services are proposed. Existing research on producer services is reviewed and a framework for understanding their location and role outlined.
