A Shift‐Share Analysis of Regional Labor Productivity in Manufacturing

Business cycle, industrial composition, or regional advantage? A decomposition analysis of new firm formation in the United States

“…First, the traditional shift-share method is not able to account for labor productivity growth on employment changes across regions and industries because it measures the combined effects of output growth and productivity growth on employment (Haynes and Dinc 1997). Extensions of the traditional shift-share method have been proposed and applied to incorporate labor productivity growth and variations (e.g., Dinc et al 1998;Dinc and Haynes 2005;Ledebur and Moomaw 1983;Rigby and Anderson 1993). This weakness, however, would be more serious in employment-related research than in establishment-based studies because the number or the growth of establishments, to a great extent, is immune to productivity changes.…”

Analysis of Marine Industry Structure and Competitiveness in Zhejiang Province Based on the Shift-share Method

“…(2) The decomposition of tertiary marine industry shows that the growth of the primary marine industry of the 11 coastal provinces is brought by national marine growth, while its growth rate of the secondary and tertiary industries are higher than the national average level. (3) Compared to the growth rate of national marine industry, the marine industry growth of Zhejiang is unstable, sometimes it is higher than the growth of national marine industries while sometimes it's lower than the latter; and the positive growth effect brought by structure and competitiveness component of marine industry is slightly higher than the negative effects. (4) Dynamic decomposition of marine tertiary industry shows different patterns.…”

“…Since the SSM was applied to study the geographical distribution of the industrial population of English (particularly in the southeastern region) by Jones (1940) [2] , the SSM had been widely applied in city planning, geography and regional sciences (Ledebur and Moomaw, 1983 [3] ; Knudsen, 2000 [4] ). In recent years, the SSM has been used for the analysis of China's marine industry structure.…”

A Comparative Study of Shift Work: Days, Nights, and Weekends: Which Shift Yields Higher Output and Lower Defects

“…This method examines changes in economic variables. One particular study uses shift-share analysis to compare labor productivity and growth in different regions in the United States (Ledebur & Moomaw, 1983). This particular method has its benefits but comparing different regions is out of scope for this study.…”

“…Productivity is a theme that most companies are looking to improve on. Research exists that study productivity in different industries (Pencavel, 2014;Ledebur & Moomaw, 1983;Al-Refaie, Najdawi, & Sy, 2015;Sanne, 2016). The difference and requirements for this study is that there is little research on comparing the productivities of one shift over another.…”
