Abstract

Geographers, economists, and urban planners have long distinguished between “local” industries that serve geographically proximate customers and “traded” industries that serve customers around the country or across the globe. This study uses newly developed, high-quality data to provide evidence of a third major industry market area type, which the authors term “regional” industries. Regional industries serve market areas larger than a U.S. county and smaller than a state, with employment found in most metropolitan areas, but spatially concentrated within each metro area. Paradigmatic regional industries include business-to-business services, like facilities maintenance and logistics, and some types of manufacturing, like craft brewing. Regional industries have a distinct economic profile: their customers are often other businesses rather than consumers, they pay higher average wages than local industries, and they offer more entrepreneurship opportunities than traded industries. In total, regional industries accounted for an estimated 31% of U.S. employment and 33% of gross domestic product in 2021.

超越本地和贸易：第三产业市场区域类型的证据及其对区域经济发展的影响

长期以来，地理学家、经济学家和城市规划者一直在区分服务于地理位置邻近客户的 "本地 "产业和服务于全国或全球客户的 "贸易 "产业。本研究利用新开发的高质量数据，提供了第三种主要产业市场区域类型的证据，作者称之为 "区域 "产业。区域性产业服务的市场区域大于美国的一个县，小于一个州，在大多数大都市地区都有就业，但在空间上集中在每个大都市地区。典型的区域产业包括企业对企业服务，如设施维护和物流，以及某些类型的制造业，如手工酿造。地区产业具有独特的经济特征：它们的客户通常是其他企业而非消费者，它们支付的平均工资高于本地产业，它们提供的创业机会也多于贸易产业。据估计，到 2021 年，地区产业总共占美国就业人数的 31%，占国内生产总值的 33%。

期刊介绍： Economic development—jobs, income, and community prosperity—is a continuing challenge to modern society. To meet this challenge, economic developers must use imagination and common sense, coupled with the tools of public and private finance, politics, planning, micro- and macroeconomics, engineering, and real estate. In short, the art of economic development must be supported by the science of research. And only one journal—Economic Development Quarterly: The Journal of American Economic Revitalization (EDQ)—effectively bridges the gap between academics, policy makers, and practitioners and links the various economic development communities.
