Summary

From the back cover: Conceptual and empirical work on the role played by the service sector to the process of national and regional economic development has had a very difficult time escaping from the views of Adam Smith. The father of economics left no doubt that he regarded the service industries as unproductive, and contributing nothing to the process of economic growth. However, the continued growth of domestic service sector employment, and the increasing volume of international service transactions, has made the continued neglect of these industries hard to justify. The papers presented for this conference represent a step toward a better understanding of the perplexing phenomena of production in trade in services.
