Download or read book Regional Labor Market Adjustments in the United States and Europe written by Mai Dao and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2014-02-11 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We examine patterns of regional adjustments to shocks in the US during the past 40 years. Using state-level data, we estimate the dynamic response of regional employment, unemployment, participation rates and net migration to state-relative labor demand shocks. We find that (i) the long-run effect of a state-specific shock on the state employment level has decreased over time, suggesting less overall net migration in response to a regional shock, (ii) the role of the participation rate as absorber of regional shocks has increased, (iii) the response of net migration to regional shocks is stronger, while that of relative unemployment is weaker during aggregate downturns, and (iv) the change in the response intensity of migration is related to the declining trend in regional dispersion of labor market conditions. Finally, using regional data for a set of 21 European countries, we show that while the short-term response of participation rates to labor demand shocks is typically larger in Europe than in the US, the immediate response of net migration in Europe has increased over time.

Download or read book Labour Market Institutions and Regional Unemployment Disparities written by Peter Huber and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We conduct a theoretically based, empirical analysis of the impact of national wage bargaining, labour market and housing market institutions as well as product market regulation on regional unemployment rate disparities. Using both national and regional data on unemployment rates for 14 EU countries for the period 1998 to 2009 we find a robust correlation between centralisation, net replacement rates and regional autonomy with the size of regional unemployment rate disparities within a country and a further potential role for minimum wages, generosity of old age and sickness benefits, marginal tax rates, housing market flexibility, employment protection and the costs of overtime contracts. In contrast to expectations only the regional autonomy index, net replacement rates, sickness benefits and employment protection are positively correlated with regional unemployment rate disparities, while the other robust variables are negatively correlated.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The prosperity of the U.S. economy and the welfare of the population depend critically on the efficient allocation of resources not only in each area of production activity but also among all possible locations. Labor plays an essential role in the production process. If the trend in increased minimum wages continues in future years, the growth and decline of economic activity among regions can be substantially altered. The minimum wage impairs the location decisions of employers and employees, thereby altering the allocation of resources among regions. Regions that offer high amenity levels and low costs of producing consumption goods and services will become high-cost-of-labor areas, driving industries to other areas. The national minimum wage in this context is a barrier to the workings of a competitive and efficient economy, burdening the current and future earning power of low-skill workers and distributing economic activity inappropriately among the state"--Book jacket.
Download or read book Unemployment Wages and the Impact of Active Labour Market Policies in a Regional Perspective written by Christoph Hilbert and published by Logos Verlag Berlin GmbH. This book was released on 2008 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Labour markets within countries vary in their performance. Some regions suffer from labour shortages, while others are faced with high unemployment figures. Furthermore structure and qualification of the workforce differs, and real wage patterns show diverging pictures between and within regions. Based on these empirical facts this study sheds some light on the wage unemployment relation and the impact active labour market policies has on this. Basic assumption is that market imperfections lead to unemployment in regional labour markets, partly owing to region-specific wage structures, and that active labour market policies can alleviate this problem. Five aspects are focused: The interaction of regional unemployment and wages based on the wage curve, the question how qualification patterns influence the regional wage level, the effectiveness of regional labour market policies, the impact of these policies on regional wage-setting, and the impact of employment service performance on real wages.
