20世纪70年代和80年代，当研究人员将注意力转向三位化对区域发展的影响时，高位生产性服务业的位置已经被广泛记录下来。在本文中，我们一方面建议更新高阶生产性服务业的空间分析，考察它们在1991-2001年间是否继续从城市等级的顶端扩散。另一方面，我们还建议将知识密集型商业服务业(KIBS)文献中的某些假设，特别是可能的溢出效应、经济部门之间的协同效应和劳动力市场效应纳入空间分析。除了城市规模，这些因素是否有助于我们理解高阶生产性服务业的空间动态？总体而言，我们发现这些服务在20世纪90年代逆转了它们的扩散过程，减少了它们在外围地区较小城市的存在。劳动力市场、协同效应和溢出效应在一定程度上有助于理解它们在20世纪90年代的总体空间分布及其演变，但区域和城市规模仍然是它们在空间上的主要组织因素。
The location of high-order producer services has been extensively documented for the 1970s and 1980s when researchers turned their attention to the effects of tertiarization on regional development. In this article we propose, on the one hand, to update the spatial analysis of high-order producer services by investigating whether they have continued to diffuse away from the top of the urban hierarchy between 1991 and 2001. On the other hand, we also propose to incorporate certain hypotheses from the knowledge-intensive business services (KIBS) literature, in particular possible spillover effects, synergies between economic sectors and labor market effects, into the spatial analysis. Over and above city size, do these factors contribute to our understanding of the spatial dynamics of high-order producer services? Overall we find that these services reversed their diffusion process during the 1990s, decreasing their presence in smaller cities in peripheral regions. Labor market, synergies, and spillover effects contribute, to some extent, to understanding their overall spatial distribution and its evolution during the 1990s, but region and urban size remain their principal organizing factors across space.
