| Abstract: | This exploratory research examines selected service sectors of a defined local economy. Using export base theory, preliminary models linking these services sectors to exogenous influences are developed. These models are found to be statistically diverse. Further model-building efforts should recognize the heterogeneous nature of services through disaggregation of services sectors and a thorough consideration of potential exogenous variables. |
