Abstract: This article examines the location pattern and role of advanced producer services outside the metropolitan core. Will such services migrate to and stay in peripheral regions and boost growth as would be necessary if such regions are to benefit from the growth of the advanced services sector? Our results for Canada suggest real limits to the upside potential. We reach this conclusion from a descriptive analysis of employment and establishment data, and from a statistical test of agglomeration behaviour of professional, scientific and technical services establishments in non-urban Canada.
