Book Synopsis Regional unemployment disparities in Germany by : Marcus Kunz
Download or read book Regional unemployment disparities in Germany written by Marcus Kunz and published by wbv Media GmbH & Company KG. This book was released on 2012-01-10 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Weder empirische Daten noch die ökonomische Theorie geben klare Anhaltspunkte, wie sich regionale Disparitäten entwickeln und welche politischen Maßnahmen angebracht sind, um diese zu reduzieren. Dies gilt insbesondere für Deutschland, wo die Wiedervereinigung zwischen West- und Ostdeutschland im Jahr 1990 die regionalen Arbeitslosigkeitsunterschiede deutlich verstärkt hat. Vor diesem Hintergrund stellt Marcus Kunz drei zentrale Fragen: 1. Zeigen Arbeitslosenquoten in den Kreisen und Regionen Deutschlands regionale Konvergenz oder Divergenz? 2. Wie erfolgt die Anpassung von Kreisen und Regionen nach einem regionalen Arbeitsmarktschock? 3. Welche Faktoren sind für die regionalen Arbeitslosigkeitsunterschiede in Westdeutschland verantwortlich? Im Gegensatz zu anderen Studien über regionale Arbeitslosenquoten in Deutschland, die sich ausschließlich auf größere Regionen konzentrieren, zeichnet die Studie von Kunz ein detaillierteres empirisches Bild, da der Fokus auf der Entwicklung der Kreisebene liegt, wo die Unterschiede besonders ausgeprägt sind.

Book Synopsis Agglomeration, Growth, and Adjustment by : Thiess Büttner
Download or read book Agglomeration, Growth, and Adjustment written by Thiess Büttner and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is dealt with disparities in employment growth, unemployment, and wages between regional labor markets in Germany. First, endogenous formation and growth of industry locations due to agglomeration economies is established as a basic source of disparity in employment. Then, spatial frictions and local wage inflexibility due to central wage bargaining are detected as causes of unemployment disparities. Throughout the book theoretical analysis is combined with rigorous empirical testing using a large set of regional data at district level. In order to gain and robustify empirical results, recent methods in panel econometrics and spatial data analysis are employed. An overview on the extent of key regional labor market disparities in Germany is given. The book enables to assess our current understanding of the role of locational issues in causing those disparities, and thus to understand the basic justification of regional policy.

Book Synopsis Regional Disparities in Small Countries by : Daniel Felsenstein

This book was released on 2005-12-28 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 1 2 Daniel Felsenstein and Boris A. Portnov 1 Department of Geography, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel 2 Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Management, University of Haifa, Israel During the Candiot War of 1645-1669, the Ottoman Sultan Ibrahim I ordered his chief admiral to attack Malta. Fearing imminent defeat by the superior Venetian forces stationed on the island, the admiral decided to trick the sultan out of the idea. As the story goes, he placed a candle on his naval map, allowing the wax to drip on the tiny island until it was completely covered. Then he exclaimed in false surprise, “Malta Yok!” (There is no Malta!), and convinced the sultan to sail his fleet to the Island of Crete instead. Although Malta is not featured in this volume, most of the countries it covers are of “wax drip” size. Intuitively, it may be expected that everything in small countries is diminutive: distances, population, economies, and even regional inequalities. Thus, at a symposium on “The Challenge of Development” convened in Israel in 1957 to mark the inauguration of a new building for the Department of Economics at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, the eminent US economist Simon Kuznets stated that “developed small states seem to have succeeded in spreading the fruits of economic growth more widely among their populations than the larger states at comparable levels of income per capita”.
Book Synopsis Geographical Labor Market Imbalances by : Chiara Mussida
Download or read book Geographical Labor Market Imbalances written by Chiara Mussida and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-04-29 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the questions of how territorial differences in productivity levels and unemployment rates arise in the first place and why territorial differences in labor market performance persist over time. Unemployment divergence and unemployment club convergence have been touched on in a large number of works and have recently also been studied using spatial econometric analysis. In this book we aim to develop the debate to include several important new topics, such as: the reasons why structural changes in some sectors cause slumps in some regions but not in others; the extent to which agglomeration factors explain regional imbalances; the degree of convergence / divergence across EU countries and regions; the role of labor mobility in reducing / increasing regional labor market imbalances; the impact of EU and country-level regional policy in stimulating convergence and the (unsatisfactory) role of active labor market policy in stimulating labor supply in the weakest economic areas.
Book Synopsis The Impact of the Institutions on Regional Unemployment Disparities by : Floro E. Caroleo
Download or read book The Impact of the Institutions on Regional Unemployment Disparities written by Floro E. Caroleo and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main aim of this paper is to study the European regional disparities in the labour market, considering the regional productive structures and some regional institutional variables. It is widely known that one of the EU's most important stylized facts is the regional disparities among regions. Such differences are related mostly to the income per capita and to the labour market captured through the unemployment rates. In a recent paper (Amendola, Caroleo Coppola, 2004) we analyzed the economic structure of the EU's regions through some proxies of the productive assets and of the labour markets. In this paper we estimate a panel data model where the dependent variable is the regional unemployment rate and the independent variables are some variables related to the productive structure and some regional institutional aspects. The results we obtain confirm that the institutional variables, such as the centralization of wage bargaining, the decentralization of public expenditure and the bureaucracy level, have an important impact on the unemployment rates.

This book was released on 2021-02-12 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We discuss regional disparities in economic performance and living standards. We first set out some key facts, and provide a conceptual framework to help analyze whether such disparities are efficient, or instead reflect market and/or policy failures. We examine whether policy attempts to reduce regional disparities necessarily involve a trade-off between equity and efficiency. We then investigate whether policymakers should focus on boosting the economic performance of lagging regions—or, conversely, accept the presence of regional disparities, and instead assist households in lagging regions through transfer payments, investments in education, health, and other basic services, and by facilitating out-migration.

Book Synopsis Compensation of Regional Unemployment in Housing Markets by : Jos van Ommeren
Download or read book Compensation of Regional Unemployment in Housing Markets written by Jos van Ommeren and published by CEPS. This book was released on 2005 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why are regional unemployment differentials in Europe so persistent if, as the wage curve literature demonstrates, there is no compensation in labour markets? We hypothesize that workers in high-unemployment regions are compensated in housing markets. Modelling regional unemployment differentials as a consequence of centralized wage bargaining, we show that clearing of land markets may undo the incentive for workers to migrate to low-unemployment regions in general equilibrium. The compensating differentials hypothesis is tested on city-level data for several countries. Controlling for variation in income and amenities, housing is found to be about 3 percent less expensive on average in cities where unemployment is 10 percent up. An analysis of housing demand survey data, which takes account of housing heterogeneity, yields a similar negative relationship. The magnitude of the income effect generated by this compensating differential is consistent with a -0.10 wage curve elasticity. These findings weaken the case for regional support programs.

Book Synopsis Agglomeration, Congestion, and U.S. Regional Disparities in Employment Growth by : Hisamitsu Saito
Download or read book Agglomeration, Congestion, and U.S. Regional Disparities in Employment Growth written by Hisamitsu Saito and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wide regional disparities exist in U.S. employment growth. To identify the causes of this disparities, we assess the relative contribution of locational characteristics to regional employment growth in the United States from 2001 to 2010 by estimating an employment growth model with the spatial-lag effect. Results show that, at the margin, congestion effects dominate localized scale externalities in urban counties. A diverse industrial structure and rich human capital are the main factors that contribute to regional disparities in employment growth. Significant spatial-lag effects indicate that spatial targeting and regional coordination are necessary to maximize the effectiveness of employment growth policies.

Download or read book HWWI Research - Monocentric Cities, Endogenous Agglomeration, and Unemployment Disparities written by and published by . This book was released on with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The model shows that it depends on the level of commuting costs within the cities and on the level of trade costs between the cities whether the unemployment rate is higher or lower in the agglomeration compared with the periphery. [...] When commuting costs are zero, the unemployment rate will always be lower in the agglomeration than that in the periphery.13 Why is the unemployment rate only lower in the agglomeration than it is in the periphery when there is full agglomeration? Consider the case of partial agglomeration where the unem- ployment rate is higher than it is in the periphery. [...] Further, the lower the commuting costs, the larger is the range of transportation costs for which the unemployment rate is lower in the agglomeration compared with the periphery. [...] Further, the area in which the unemployment rate is lower in the agglomeration compared with the periphery is always a subset of the area in which the full agglomeration is stable. [...] This is because the effect of commuting on the attractiveness of a region depends not only on the size of the region, but also on the wages in that region, and thus on the strengths of the centripetal forces.
