Abstract

Empirical models of regional adjustment often control for aggregate effects when estimating the impact of region‐specific shocks on local economies. It is, however, difficult to filter out the effects of aggregate shocks—such as oil shocks, uncertainty shocks, or national recessions—because the incidence of these shocks varies across space and time. We propose an improved econometric method to control for this form of spatiotemporal heterogeneity, thereby yielding more accurate estimation of the effects of local shocks on regional economies. Applying the method to US states, we find that labour demand shocks are mostly absorbed through changes in participation; the migration response to these shocks is limited; and recoveries are highly protracted Los modelos empíricos de ajuste regional controlan a menudo los efectos agregados mediante la estimación del impacto de perturbaciones específicas de la región en las economías locales. Sin embargo, es difícil filtrar los efectos de las perturbaciones agregadas, como las crisis del petróleo, las crisis de incertidumbre o las recesiones nacionales, porque la incidencia de esas perturbaciones varía en el espacio y el tiempo. Se propone un método econométrico mejorado para controlar esta forma de heterogeneidad espacio‐temporal, de forma que permita una estimación más precisa de los efectos de las perturbaciones locales en las economías regionales. Cuando se aplicó el método a los estados de EE.UU., se encontró que las perturbaciones en la demanda de mano de obra se absorben principalmente a través de cambios en la participación; la respuesta de la migración a estas perturbaciones es limitada, y las recuperaciones son muy prolongadas. 地域調整の実証モデルは、地域経済に対する地域特異的なショックの影響を推計する場合に、集合効果を調整することが多い。しかし、オイルショック、不確実性ショック、国レベルでの経済停滞などの総量的ショックの事例は空間的かつ時間的に大きく異なるため、その影響を選別することは困難である。本稿では、この形式の時空間異質性を調整することにより地域経済に対する局地的ショックの影響をより正確に推計する、改良型の計量経済学的手法を提示する。この手法を米国州に応用すると、労働需要ショックの大部分は労働参加の変化に吸収されることがわかる。また、これらのショックに対する移動の反応はわずかであり、回復には非常に時間がかかる。.
