Description :
Attempts to distinguish the subset of services known as producer services from consumer and government services may result in a potential bias with implications for public policy. An input-output model is developed for estimating this bias by decomposing service industry data into its producer and consumer services content. This method can give a truer estimate of the actual employment in producer services at various spatial levels.
