“…Finally, these models are static, thus neglecting changes in technology, innovation as well as the often lengthy adjustments to the economic injections provided by mining ventures. For this latter reason, they also tend to be of limited use when depicting scenarios for the future (Kilkenny and Partridge 2009).…”

The local employment impacts of mining: an econometric analysis of job multipliers in northern Sweden

The way in which mining contributes to job opportunities in the region where it takes place has become increasingly important for the industry's relations to the local community. The employment impacts of mining are however far from straightforward to assess. Considering these uncertainties about real-life job impacts, it is vital that there are sound assessments of these employment effects. The purpose of this paper is to apply a novel econometric approach to assess mining-induced job multipliers in the empirical context of northern Sweden. This analysis employs data on the number of employees in selected non-mining sectors and in the mining sector, respectively, and covering the relatively recent mining boom period (2003)(2004)(2005)(2006)(2007)(2008)(2009)(2010)(2011)(2012)(2013). We also highlight differences across the two main mining counties in northern Sweden. The results show a positive statistical relationship between increases in the number of employees in the mining sector and changes in the number of employees in other sectors. The private services' sector is particularly affected, while the industrial sector also benefits in the specific case of mining municipalities. The results also indicate relatively large intercounty differences, in turn highlighting the importance of addressing the context-specific circumstances when estimating the employment effects of mining.

“…With most energy-boom counties being rural and somewhat remote, gaining agglomeration economies is an important element of future growth. 10 U.S. National Interregional Highway Committee's (1944) report shows maps of the proposed "military" highway system, which is remarkably similar to what was eventually constructed in the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s. In general, the literature suggests that counties and states that are initially more intensive in mining tend to grow less over the long-term (Papyrakis and Gerlagh, 2007;Freeman, 2009;Kilkenny and Partridge 2009;Lobao, 2013;James and Aadland 2011). Many of the reasons for mining-intensive regions to lag in the long-run are discussed above.…”

“…Many of the reasons for mining-intensive regions to lag in the long-run are discussed above. Yet, another reason is simple labor-saving technological change in the goods sector means that declining numbers of workers are needed to extract the same resource (Kilkenny and Partridge, 2009). Much of the literature has focused on the institutional and governance problems for mining-intensive regions that lead to corruption and rent-seeking (Papyrakis and Gerlagh, 2007;Van der Ploeg, 2011), though Michaels (2010) suggests that U.S. local institutions are strong enough to avoid the resource curse.…”

This paper examines the economic experience of past energy booms and of current unconventional shale gas and oil development. It focuses on key economic characteristics of gas and oil development, such as its employment potential, the geography of such development, its boom-bust nature, and the economic experience with shale oil and gas development. This background is used to discuss important economic policy issues arising with unconventional oil and gas development, such as taxation, governmental use of those revenues, preemption, and equity in the distribution of costs and benefits. The paper concludes with economic policy recommendations for states and communities affected by such development.

“…In general, prior studies analyzing the relationship between an increase in exports and job creation have shown mixed results. Thus, a set of studies finds that economic development based on an increase of exports clearly leads to job creation (Bustos 2011;Ernst 2005;James and Fujita 2000;Kiyota 2014); another showed that the liberalization of trade among countries reduces the demand for labor (Greenaway et al 1999;Leichenko 2000;Kilkenny and Partridge 2009). In other words, there may exist a positive or negative impact on new employment, depending on the difference between the market expansion effect and the labor demand shrinkage effect.…”

Abstract:The rise in unemployment is an important and urgent task to be tackled for the growth of economy in Korea. Although prior studies have revealed some factors leading to the creation of employment, studies simultaneously considering various factors, such as small and medium enterprises' (SMEs') basic factors, technology innovation activities, innovation capabilities, and the government policies, have been limited. This study seeks to design an integrated model that focuses on both SME and government policy factors associated with the creation of new employment. For this, we use the Korea Innovation Survey (KIS) data on 2828 firms in the manufacturing industry in Korea for 2013-2015. Using the multivariate regression model, we identified the association of SME and the government policy factors on the creation of employment. We show that sales, product innovation, organization innovation, and the support program by the government contributed to the job creation, whereas a firm's age had a negative correlation with the creation of employment. The statistical results and discussion of our findings facilitate a better understanding of the association between various SMEs' factors and the creation of employment, and therefore, should help in designing better policies and strategies for employment growth.
