9 per cent of producer service establishments trade only with servicesector industries. 8 per cent of the gross revenues of FIRE and business service establishments respectively are derived from the goodsproducing sector. 6 per cent of business service establishments receive absolutely no revenues from the goodsproducing sector. 6 per cent of all producer service output (Schamp 1995) and 39 per cent in Austria (Todtling and Traxler 1995). The service sector itself, therefore, is widely acknowledged as the most important market for producer services.
This is relatively uncharted territory. There have been few attempts to understand this topic. One recent book on the role of services in urban and regional development, for example, devotes just 15 lines to explaining the trends in consumer service demand (see Marshall and Wood 1995:20). This is by no means an exception to the rule. Neither is it only in the realm of explaining shifts in consumer service demand that major gaps exist in the literature. Similar voids prevail so far as attempts to analyse the geography of consumer services are concerned.
There are also significant cross-national variations in the proclivity of each of these producer services to export. Advertising and marketing firms, for example, export 24 per cent, 42 per cent and 64 per cent of their sales beyond the locality in Ireland, Scotland and Nova Scotia respectively. The propensity to export, therefore, is dependent upon the nature of the economy inhabited. For example, and as O’Farrell et al. (1996) identify when comparing the south-east of England and Scotland, business services in global cities and their regions tend to display a greater export propensity than those in second-tier cities or peripheral regions, thus reinforcing the dominant position of such areas.
