TL;DR: The discussion covers IEEE P802's view of metropolitan area networks, MAN architecture, early proposals considered by the IEEE 802.6 committee, fiber optic proposals, and the emerging consensus.
Abstract: The differences between local area networks (LANs) and metropolitan area networks (MANs) are outlined, and their impact on MAN standards is explored. The discussion covers IEEE P802's view of metropolitan area networks, MAN architecture, early proposals considered by the IEEE 802.6 committee, fiber optic proposals, and the emerging consensus. The need for field experience and the anticipated timetable for the IEEE P802.6 standard are also examined. >

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore the extent to which the occupational mix within a specific metropolitan industry is dissimilar to the mix found for that same industry in other metros, and find that estimating a metro's occupational mix by assuming that its industries mirror the national occupational structure for those industries often provides a reasonable approximation especially for aggre...
Abstract: The product/profit cycle and new international division of labor theories hypothesize that establishments in a single industry may be undertaking different activities in different locations: innovative and developmental activities will be anchored in regions of origin, while more routine production and service functions will be dispersed to lower cost and downstream consuming regions. Disparities in occupational composition offer a test of these theories. In this article, we test whether a region’s occupational structure can be read off of its industrial structure. Using a data set created for eleven California metropolitan areas for 1997, we explore the extent to which the occupational mix within a specific metropolitan industry is dissimilar to the mix found for that same industry in other metros. We find that estimating a metro’s occupational mix by assuming that its industries mirror the national occupational structure for those industries often provides a reasonable approximation especially for aggre...

TL;DR: In this paper, a clustering algorithm is applied to effective rents for twenty-one metropolitan US office markets, and to twenty-two metropolitan markets using vacancy data It provides support for the conjecture that there exists a few major families of cities: including an oil and gas group and an industrial Northeast group Unlike other clustering studies, they find strong evidence of bicoastal city associations among cities such as Boston and Los Angeles.
Abstract: A clustering algorithm is applied to effective rents for twenty-one metropolitan US office markets, and to twenty-two metropolitan markets using vacancy data It provides support for the conjecture that there exists a few major “families” of cities: including an oil and gas group and an industrial Northeast group Unlike other clustering studies, we find strong evidence of bicoastal city associations among cities such as Boston and Los Angeles We present a bootstrapping methodology for investigating the robustness of the clustering algorithm, and develop a means for testing the significance of city associations While the analysis is limited to aggregate rent and vacancy data, the results provide a guideline for the further application of cluster analysis to other types of real estate and economic information
