Modelling U.S. services trade flows: a cointegration-ECM approach
Viana, Sandra; Hung, Juann H. (1995)
The U.S. service surplus soared from near zero in 1985 to about $60 billion in 1992, offsetting about two thirds of the goods trade deficit. Could this merely reflect improvement in data collection? Or does this mean U.S. services industries are more competitive internationally than goods industries? Is the services surplus likely to continue to rise? This paper estimates a forecastable model of U.S. services trade to address the above questions.

Digits and widgets (with reference to a wise mother, the Golden Book Encyclopedia, Winston Churchill and Hunter Lawrence)
Fisher, Richard W. (2009)
"In the world of "superfine processes" of the Knowledge Age, digits are the new widgets.

Education is the steam and the oil and the gas that propel that engine. The speed at which we move our economy forward from this point onward will depend on how well we educate our children." ; Remarks before the Austin Chamber of Commerce's 4th Annual State of Education in Austin Conference; Austin, Texas; December 8, 2009.

Cañas, Jesus; Kerr, Emily (2011-04)
The service sector drives the Texas economy, accounting for 59 percent of private-sector output and employing close to 7 million workers.

The Tenth District's expanding service sector
Smith, Tim R. (1994-07)
The proliferation of service jobs in the nation has received much attention. While the manufacturing sector has suffered substantial job losses during the current business cycle, job growth in services has been brisk. Because the service sector comprises a diverse collection of service industries, there is considerable confusion about what kinds of jobs the service industries are creating and what factors will affect the outlook for the service sector.> In the Tenth District, service industry jobs have grown even faster than in the nation. As the service sector becomes a bigger share of the ...
