Abstract

B oCKERMAN P. (2003) Unravelling the mystery of regional unemployment in Finland, Reg. Studies 37 , 331-340. The study explores the determination of regional unemployment in Finland. The evaluation of regional labour markets is based on unique, linked panel data that is created by matching the conventional economic fundamentals with the measures based on gross flows of jobs and workers. The striking empirical finding is that the reorganization of labour markets lowers the unemployment rate in the Finnish regions. In other words, the reallocation of labour resources seems to be good for regional employment. B oCKERMAN P. (2003) Demystifier le chomage re gional en Finlande, Reg. Studies 37 , 331-340. Cette etude cherche a examiner la determination du chomage regional en Finlande. L'evaluation des marches du travail est fonde e sur des donnees uniques rassemblees aupres des e chantillons permanents liees et obtenues en mettant en rapport les fondements economiques conventionnels avec les mesures basees sur les flux bruts d'emplois et des travailleurs. La conclusion empirique a noter c' est que la reorganisation des marches du travail reduit le taux de chomage regional. Autrement dit, la redistribution des ressources humaines semble avantageux pour l'emploi regional. B oCKERMAN P. (2003) Losung des Ratsels regionaler Erwerbslosigkeit in Finnland, Reg. Studies 37 , 331-340. Diese Studie untersucht, wodurch regionale Erwerbslosigkeit in Finnland bestimmt wird. Die Bewertung des regionalen Arbeitsmarktes stutzt sich auf einmalige, miteinander verknupfte Datenlisten, die durch gegeseitiges Abstimmen von ublichen wirtschaftlichen Grundlagen auf die Massnahmen geschaffen wurden, die auf Gesamtflussen von Stellen und Arbeitskraften beruhen. Der bemerkenswerte Befund besteht darin, dass die Neuordnung der Arbeitsmarkte die Erwerbslosenrate in den finnischen Regionen senkt. In anderen Worten: die Neuzuteilung von Arbeitskraften scheint der regionalen Erwerbstatigkeit gut zu tun.
