Description :
The paper demonstrates conceptually that trade flows through a two-tiered organisation of cities. The first involves world-class cities,and the second a hierarchical organisation of cities within the US urban system. These patterns of interaction are analysed empirically using a recent survey which enables identification of the spatial extent of both supply and demand for five business services. The distances vary markedly from industry to industry.
