摘要
This paper is concerned with examining changes in service sector employment in the UK regions. In particular, it seeks to examine the degree of convergence in service sector employment which has occurred since the late 1970s. It provides some initial background material relating to the employment and structural changes which have taken place in Europe and, in particular, in the UK over this period. It outlines the general changes in regional policy, both within the UK and the EC, which seem likely to have some bearing on the location and development decisions of service sector activities. The main focus, though, is on the question of how to define and measure convergence. Finally, it proceeds to examine, using various techniques including time-varying parameter techniques, the extent to which regional convergence in service sector employment has come about.
