Abstract

In this paper the metropolitan geography of information intensive industries in the United States is analyzed. Such industries are a subset of Porat's definition of information industries and correspond to what Noyelle and Stanback as well as Hepworth among others have called producer services. Economic forces which have fueled the expansion of information intensive industries are identified and their growth is measured relative to overall real GNP growth. Examination of employment and other data for twenty-four of the largest metropolitan areas in the United States reveals substantial diversity in the degree of concentration of information intensive industries. Furthermore, there appears to be a divergent location-pattern for producer services compared with headquarters. Regression analysis supports this divergent location-pattern.
