“…They show a negative effect on unemployment differentials which, despite being somewhat counterintuitive, is in line with results obtained for some other economies (Jones and Manning, 1992;Taylor and Bradley, 1997; and the discussion in Elhorst, 2000). However, neither the change in employment nor the demography and participation variables have a significant impact on unemployment differentials for that year.…”

Abstract: This paper proposes a set of tools for analysing the regional distribution of unemployment. As we were interested in the characteristics of the distribution as a whole, results from a traditional regression analysis were complemented with those obtained by estimating its external shape before and after being conditioned to factors underlying regional unemployment. In addition, the paper specifically considers the spatial characteristics of the distribution, and the empirical model developed in order to determine explanatory factors includes spatial effects. This framework is applied to the study of the provincial distribution of unemployment rates in Spain. Results point to increasing spatial dependence in the distribution of regional unemployment rates, and a change in the factors causing regional differentials over the last decade.

“… 10 Courtney (1991) for the US and Jones and Manning (1992) for the UK also estimate regional Beveridge curves and use them to examine the importance of regional labour market dynamics on the aggregate Beveridge curve. Both of these simply use a quadratic time trend to control for shifts of the curves. …”

“…Additional right-hand side variables may be added to account for inward or outward shifts in the unemployment-vacancy locus. Examples are Cheshire (1973), Gordon (1987), Jones and Manning (1992), and Holzer (1993). Although the unemployment-vacancy relationship can be derived from a formal model of the labour market (see Gordon, 1987), these studies are almost identical in character to empirical studies that adopt the single equation approach.…”

Abstract. This paper provides an integrated overview of theoretical and empirical explanations used in the applied literature on regional unemployment differentials. On the basis of 41 empirical studies, four different model types covering nine theoretical constructs of regional unemployment determination and 13 sets of explanatory variables are identified. The overall conclusion is that theoretical and empirical explanations help to reduce the weaknesses in each other. While theory is found to predict that the regional unemployment rate depends on labour supply factors (a collection of factors which affect natural changes in the labour force, labour force participation, migration and commuting), labour demand factors and wage‐setting factors, it is the empirical studies that provide a more profound understanding of the explanatory variables involved. Conversely, whereas most empirical studies provide clear‐cut explanations for the signs of the explanatory variables, it is theory that shows that some of these explanations might be out of proportion. By grouping many studies together, this paper shows that there are indeed clear‐cut trends.
