Information technology in the 1990s: More footloose or more location-bound?

Sohn, Jungyul

Abstract. This article examines whether the growth of information technology (IT) is associated with a dispersion or concentration of economic activities. The locational Gini coefficient and Moran’s I are first applied to ascertain the relationship between the growth of information technology and the distribution pattern of economic activities at the metropolitan scale. Next, using the Gi* statistic as the dependent variable and the level of information infrastructure as the independent variable, the above relationship is analysed at an intra-metropolitan scale. The results suggest that trends at a metropolitan scale do not necessarily reflect the trends at an intra-metropolitan scale in association.
