“…In contrast to the findings of Suedekum and Blien (2007), no significant influence of the wage of nearby regions on the employment development of the observed region occurs. Suedekum and Blien (2007) discover a positive relationship between the wage of nearby regions and employment development in the observed region, pointing to the dominance of migration of firms.…”

“…Thus, the employment of a region does not only depend on the wage within the region, but also on the wage of nearby regions, while the direction of the influence depends on whether migration of firms or employees dominates. Suedekum and Blien (2007) measure the influence of the wage level of nearby regions on the employment development of a region and conclude that this influence is positive: an increase of the wage level in nearby regions leads to higher employment in the observed region. Accordingly, in the sample of Suedekum and Blien (2007) the migration of firms dominates the migration of employees.…”

These models usually neglect spatial interdependencies, even though such interdependencies are likely to occur on a regional level. Therefore, this paper focuses on the importance of spatial dependencies in form of spatial autocorrelation for regional employment development. Spatial dependency in the form of the spatial lag, spatial error and cross regressive model are compared. The results indicate that the spatial lag of the exogenous variables sufficiently explains the spatial autocorrelation of regional employment growth.JEL Classification: C21, E24, R11, R23

“…Selon la théorie néoclassique, les entreprises se (re)localisent là où le niveau de salaire est le plus faible. Cette (re)localisation peut être locale (au sein d'un même pays) ou internationale dans le cas d'une économie ouverte (Suedekum et Blien, 2007). Une main-d'oeuvre moins chère permet aux entreprises de substituer, toutes choses égales par ailleurs, le facteur capital par le facteur travail.…”

Terms of use: Documents in AbstractLabour markets in most highly developed countries are marked by rising levels of skill segregation in the production process and increasing inequalities in skill-specific employment prospects. The local skill structure is frequently regarded as a major cause for regional growth disparities. There are several studies investigating the influence of the local human capital endowment on qualification-specific wages levels. Furthermore, theoretical studies suggest that skill segregation might matter for the polarisation of wages and employment. However, analyses on regional employment growth by different skill levels are still scarce and empirical evidence on the effects of skill segregation on qualification-specific employment is completely lacking. This paper investigates the effects of the local skill composition and skill segregation in the production process on qualification-specific employment growth in West German regions. This study provides first evidence for negative effects of skill segregation on low-skilled employment growth. Furthermore, the results show that a large share of local high-skilled employment does not foster further regional concentration of human capital but positively affects the employment prospects of less skilled workers.
