Spatial Aspects of Job Creation: Evidence from Western Germany
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper provides detailed information about spatial interactions in the job creation process in West German regional labor markets. We investigate spatial (auto-) correlations in the matching process of vacancies and unemployed, examine regional hiring patterns, and identify clusters of regions with intense inter-regional matching. An extensive specification analysis illustrates the extent of regional dependencies. We investigate the impact of German re-unification on regional patterns of job creation, and compare regional matching efficiencies using a stochastic frontier approach. JEL-classification: J61, J64, J21, R12

متن کاملThe determinants of job creation and destruction: plant-level evidence for Eastern and Western Germany
We examine job creation and destruction in Eastern and Western Germany for the period of 1999 to 2004, using a large dataset, which enables us to capture clearly entries and exits. There are pronounced differences between the two parts of Germany in terms of magnitude and composition of gross job flows. Considering interaction effects between all variables, weighted regressions show that job cr...

متن کاملIdentifying Effect Heterogeneity to Improve the Efficiency of Job Creation Schemes in Germany
Previous empirical studies of job creation schemes in Germany have shown that the average effects for the participating individuals are negative. However, we find that this is not true for all strata of the population. Identifying individual characteristics that are responsible for the effect heterogeneity and using this information for a better allocation of individuals therefore bears some sc...
