最近的技术进步增加了以新的生产技术为基础的经济活动的重要性，这些技术包含了复杂的服务。从这个意义上说，作为中间投入提供给制造企业的服务在这一过程中增加了价值，是提高生产力和经济发展的主要组成部分之一。然而，这些服务公司在空间上的分布并不均匀。本文旨在研究增值服务企业的空间分布，并将其与降低成本的服务企业的位置进行比较。这是通过采用计数数据模型（必要时纠正过多的零），以确定与巴西劳动力市场地区这些部门的现有和新公司的位置相关的主要因素。此外，还努力控制密度测量的潜在内干扰。主要结果表明，尽管服务业与制造业有着密切的联系，但服务业企业并不一定会选择靠近工业就业集中地的地点，而是会避免选择制造业活动集中地的邻近地区。较高的人口密度、多样性和经济空间集中的其他衡量标准对确定这些公司的地点更为相关。
Recent technological advances have increased the importance of economic activities based on new production techniques with embedded, sophisticated services. In this sense, services offered as intermediate inputs for manufacturing firms that add value in this process constitute one of the main components of productivity gains and economic development. However, such service firms are not homogeneously distributed in space. This paper aims to investigate the spatial distribution of service firms that add value and compare it with the location of service firms that reduce cost. This is done by employing count data models (correcting for the excessive number of zeros whenever necessary) to identify the main factors associated with the location of existing and new firms in these sectors in Brazilian labor market areas. There is also an effort to control for the potential endogeneity of density measures. The main results show that despite the strong linkages with manufacturing, service firms do not necessarily pursue locations close to places that concentrate industrial employment, and they actually avoid to locate in neighboring areas of those who concentrate manufacturing activities. Higher population density, diversity and other measures of economic spatial concentration are much more relevant to determine the location of these firms.
