Abstract

ABSTRACT Regional labor market development is a result of the interaction between supply and demand mechanisms in spatial labor markets. From the demand side employment is affected by regional, economic, and industrial factors, while labor supply is mainly influenced by demographic factors and the rate of labor market participation. The simultaneity in these mechanisms has to be taken into account when analyzing the processes of regional labor markets. To this end. Statistics Norway has developed the regional REGARD model. This model illuminates the implications for regional employment and the labor force of a given macroeconomic scenario. Further, the model may be applied to analyze the effects on regional employment and population from changes in economic policy. In building the model, empirical analyses of regional producer behavior in manufacturing industries have been performed, and the relation between labor market development and regional migration has been investigated. Apart from providing a short description of the REGARD model, this article demonstrates the functioning of the model, and presents some results of an application.
