Thesis, Jönköping University, JIBS, Economics, 2007. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:hj:diva-972.
Повний текст джерелаThe purpose of this thesis is to disentangle the causes behind differences in regional employment across the 81 Swedish LA regions. Thus, two questions will be answered; which factors causes regional disparity in employment and which where the least and the
most affected regions during the economic crises of the 1990’s? The answer to these questions are imposed by certain chosen restrictions, where only the situation within two manufacturing industries will be investigated; the car- and machine manufacturing sectors. Previous research claim that there are specific factors that influence and creates regional growth disparity. Among these factors can be found; education, infrastructure, demography, industry diversity and migration. Statistical data then enables a division of the regions on basis of the change in employment level within the manufacturing industries as a share of total employment. It is revealed that the most affected regions during an economic shock are those areas that have the highest employment ratio within these manufacturing sectors. The empirical findings indicates that in the case of Swedish manufacturing industries especially three factors influence the employment level; population, education and migration. Additionally, distance to a larger city is proven to be
significant during recessions while being insignificant during economic booms. The last factor, diversity, on the other hand indicates that the correlation is the reverse. Hence, diversity has an impact during economic upswings, while this is not the case during downturns. With the development during the 90’s as a reference, the same method is used to locate today’s most vulnerable industrial regions. Statistics show that Ljungby is at the top
of this list. When studying the strategic development plan for this region it is found that this area follows a policy in line with those variables that this thesis has pin-pointed to be
beneficial for regional growth. Hence, this region has taken beneficial policy steps in order to decrease the dependency on a vulnerable and market sensitive industrial sector.
Syftet med denna uppsats är att utreda varför anställningsgraden skiljer sig mellan de 81 svenska LA regionerna. De två frågor som skall besvaras är följaktligen; vilka faktorer påverkar skillnader i sysselsättningsgrad samt utpeka vilka regioner var de minst och mest
drabbade under 1990-talets ekonomiska kris? Dessa frågor har dock begränsats till att undersöka förhållandet inom två tillverkningsindustrier; bil- och maskintillverkning.
Tidigare forskning hävdar att det finns vissa specifika faktorer som påverkar och skapar regionala skillnader i tillväxt. Bland dessa kan nämnas utbildning, infrastruktur, demografi, diversitet och migration. Den deskriptiva statistiken delar därefter upp Sveriges regioner på basis av förändringen i anställning inom de två valda industrisektorerna som en del av totala sysselsättningen. De hårdast drabbade regionerna under en lågkonjunktur är deregioner som har störst andel av totala arbetskraften inom tillverkningsindustrin. Vidare indikerar de empiriska resultaten att för svensk tillverkningsindustris vidkommande så har främst population, utbildning samt migration ett starkt samband med
sysselsättningsfrekvensen. Vidare visar det sig att avståndet till en större stad har en inverkan under lågkonjunktur men ej under högkonjunktur. För den sista variabeln, grad av diversitet, visar sig sambandet vara det motsatta; det vill säga ingen påverkan under en konjunkturnedgång, medan en positiv influens under konjunkturuppgång. Med händelseutvecklingen från 90-talet som grund kan samma metod användas för att lokalisera dagens mest sårbara industriregioner. Statistiken visar att Ljungby toppar denna lista. Men då man studerar denna regions framtids- och utvecklingsmål följer dessa just de faktorer som denna uppsats utpekar som viktiga ingredienser för regional tillväxt. Följaktligen har denna region tagit positiva steg i riktning mot att minska sitt beroende av en sårbar och konjunkturkänslig industrisektor.

The dissertation includes three essays on development and regional economics. Son preference prevails among Indian couples. I test the hypothesis that women who bear sons experience an elevated status within the household, which translates into their increased role in decision-making. The first essay empirically examines the issue. Using data from the Indian Human Development Survey, I find that women who have given birth to at least one son show greater participation in the household’s financial decisions as well as other decisions in a household. Presence of a senior member in the household, however, reduces the women’s relative household bargaining strength. The second essay examines the wage differentials of natives, naturalized citizens, and immigrants on the basis of gender, and for the latter two categories, on the basis of region of origin. This paper argues that the assimilation effect for naturalized citizens should be stronger than that for immigrants since a naturalized citizen, on an average, spends more than 15 years in the country, much higher than immigrants. I find that immigrants experience higher increase in wages than naturalized citizens with longer stay in the United States. The essay concludes that this trend in wages cannot be explained by the assimilation argument alone. We also report that naturalized citizens command higher returns to higher education than immigrants. The third essay explores issues in regional economics. Kansas has the third largest public highway miles and one of the highest miles per person in the country. Due to declining rural population, counties lack the required tax base and fiscal health to support their large ailing rural road infrastructure. The average farm size is increasing and so is the size of vehicles using the rural roads. This paper suggests removing some rural low volume roads from the county road network as one option. I study three Kansas counties to analyze the cost-benefit of reducing low volume road miles. I find that rural counties will be able to save money by closing some low volume roads.

1995-2002 som ett mått på regional tillväxt. Alla branscher i ett län delas in enligt SNIsystemets
branschklassificering. För varje bransch beräknas enligt Economic-base modellen
en lokaliseringskoefficient som visar branschens sysselsättningsandel i länet i förhållande till
dess sysselsättningsandel i riket. Den bransch som i respektive län uppvisar högst värde på
koefficienten benämns basindustri. Sambandet mellan sysselsättningsförändringen i varje läns
basindustri och länets totala sysselsättningsförändring undersöks genom en paneldatastudie.
Förutom basindustrins sysselsättningsförändring används den länsvisa befolkningsnivån som
förklarande variabel. Paneldataundersökningen visar att basindustrins
sysselsättningsförändring signifikant förklarar en del av total sysselsättningsförändring i sex
av länen. I tre av dessa län kan basindustrins sysselsättningsförändring sägas vara
tillväxtdrivande medan den i tre län påverkar tillväxten negativt.

Resumo: O presente trabalho investiga a permanência em tempo de globalização da questão nacional no que diz respeito ao sentido das reestruturações econômicas capazes de assegurar a inserção soberana das sociedades contemporâneas num mundo em transformação. Chama atenção da Economia Regional e da Geografia Econômica para essa permanência. Isso é importante para a análise regional não obliterar mudanças estruturais que reafirmam o sentido de construção do que clássicos da Economia Política chamam de "sistemas econômicos nacionais". Neste sentido, são reunidas evidências de que por detrás das agendas liberais, os governos atuais recorrem às ações pautadas pelo princípio do nacionalismo econômico - princípio que explica o sentido assumido pelas mudanças econômicas no espaço das sociedades em geral, e que na perspectiva da "World Systems Theory" é justificado pelo fato das sociedades modernas se organizarem internamente a partir da competição mundial pela "riqueza capitalista". Assim se revela a ausência de juízo histórico da posição dominante de que estaria ocorrendo a supressão da escala geográfica nacional. Argumenta-se ainda que essa posição é derivada da tese de que se configurou com a globalização a tendência de desaparecimento dos Estados nacionais e, por conseguinte, do seu poder de intervenção na organização da vida econômica; também derivada da hipótese de que indícios de descentralização das ações de governo e de grande expansão dos investimentos diretos estrangeiros constituem evidências de supressão da escala nacional nas reestruturações econômicas como se a acumulação de capital na geografia mundial deixasse de ser comandada pelos investimentos internos, os que rearticulam, nos momentos históricos de "destruição criativa" das estruturas, as atividades econômicas nas jurisdições estatais. Deste modo, demonstra-se que para as sociedades em geral permanece a questão nacional como desafio organizacional interno para se assegurar uma inserção internacional através da "competitividade sistêmica" - e não da competitividade regional (ou local) imaginada por grande parte da produção intelectual. Em seguida, argumenta-se que a desconsideração da permanência da questão nacional revela problemas de interpretação do sentido das reestruturações em questão, o que explica a concordância em torno da supressão da escala nacional como quadro geográfico organizacional da vida econômica. Chega-se à conclusão de que ao contrário do que supõe a produção intelectual corrente, as novas formas de organização regional e local da produção social (como os distritos industriais) reafirmam a articulação das atividades econômicas na forma de sistemas nacionais. É uma posição radicalmente contrária à produção intelectual de fora do Brasil. E em relação à produção intelectual brasileira, é uma posição para defender a necessidade de se combinar a preocupação com os impactos regionais e locais da reestruturação em curso - na distribuição espacial das atividades econômicas, nas desigualdades regionais e na organização política federativa - e a preocupação com a construção nacional.
Abstract: This study investigates the permanence of the national issue in time of globalization - with regard to the direction of the economic restructuring capable of ensuring the sovereign insertion of the contemporary societies in a world transformation process. It draws the attention of the Regional Economic and of the Economic Geography for this permanence. This is important for the regional analysis does not obliterate structural changes which reaffirm the direction of this construction, namely by the classics of the Economic Politics "national economic systems." For both reasons, evidences are gathered to show that for behind the liberal agendas of governments, there are so many actions guided by the principle of economic nationalism - in the "World Systems Theory" perspectives - which explain the direction of the economic changes, and are justified by the fact of the modern societies organize themselves first internally to face the global competition for the "capitalist wealth." In this manner, it is possible to observe the absence of historical analysis of the dominant thinking background that national geographical scale is disappearing. It is argued here that this position is derived from a theory affirms that the economic state intervention power tends to disappear, and that there is no evidence that the decentralized government actions and the expansion of foreign direct investment constitute losses of prevalence of nationwide in economic restructuring, This position does not take in account that the capital accumulation in world geography follows commanded by domestic investments, investments that, rearrange as several other historical moments, the "creative destruction" of the structures, and this way, the level of economic activities in state jurisdictions. Thus it is shown that for companies in general remains a national issue as internal organizational challenge to face the international insertion through the "systemic competitiveness" and not "regional" and "local" challenge as imagined by most of the intellectual production. Then, it is still argued that the lack of permanence of the national question reveals problems of interpretation about the direction of the restructuring in question, that explains the acceptance the prevalence of a regional or local - in relation to national level - like an organizational and geographical framework of the economic life. Finally, It reach the conclusion that to the contrary of the current intellectual thinking affirms, the new forms of regional and local organization of social production (such as industrial districts) reaffirm the rearrange of economic activities at the national level - as well as national systems - this is a contrary position to the intellectual production outside of Brazil. In reference to the Brazilian intellectual thinking, this is a position which seeks to uphold the need to combine the concern with the regional and local impacts of the ongoing restructuring - in terms of the spatial distribution of economic activity, regional inequalities and federative political organization - and concern about the national construction.

Повний текст джерелаBrazil has in regional inequality a subject that historically receives a lot of attention from the researchers and policy makers. The most vulnerable regions in Brazil received initiatives that attempt to attenuate the problem of economic disparity. Among the instruments used, the Northeastern Constitutional Financing Fund was created by the Constitution with the aim of fight against intra and interregional inequalities in the Northeastern region. The present study proposes to evaluate the efficiency of the fund as an instrument of combatant policy of regional inequalities in the Northeast region applying a methodology of computable general equilibrium. The estimation of the scenario with no existence of the fund and its reallocation in government demand implies that income and investment decreases, together with higher concentration of production and inequality of GDP per capita.

Resumo: Atualmente o território capixaba, mais precisamente a Região Metropolitana da Grande Vitória sofre grandes transformações no âmbito econômico e urbano. O primeiro ativado pelo setor externo de commodities e o segundo como resultado, de certa forma, da pujança econômica da região; engendrando no espaço consideráveis mudanças que por sua vez trazem novas e antigas questões. Uma delas refere-se à infraestrutura, uma variável de suma importância para o desenvolvimento seja econômico ou social de qualquer território. Pois, a quantidade e qualidade de infraestrutura acessível no espaço qualificam e condicionam o processo de desenvolvimento. Desse modo, as análises que versam sobre a infraestrutura envolvem diversas dimensões e setores, dentre as quais se destacam a produtiva e urbana. Diante disso, que o esforço do trabalho consiste em investigar a distribuição da infraestrutura urbana "básica" à luz do desenvolvimento econômico e social do território serrano, salientando a atuação do capital da construção civil na região. Assim sendo, a pergunta que norteia o estudo é: como uma região que produz riqueza a distribui em forma de bens coletivos? Com isto, proporciona-se uma leitura da desigualdade sócioespacial para a cidade da Serra numa concepção de serviços e equipamentos urbanos "básicos", como esgoto, pavimentação, transporte público, coleta de lixo e iluminação publica
Abstract: Currently the capixaba territory, specifically the Metropolitan Region of Vitória, undergoes major transformations in the economic and urban. The first activated by the external sector of commodities and the second result, in a sense, the boom in the region, generating considerable changes in space which in turn bring new and old questions. One refers to the infrastructure, a variable of paramount importance for the economic or social development of any territory. Because the quantity and quality of infrastructure available in space qualifies and requirement the development process. Thus, the analysis that deal with the infrastructure involve sectors and many dimensions, among which stand out, the production and urban. Front of this, the work aims to investigate the distribution of "basic" urban infrastructure under the light of economic and social development of serrano territory, stressing the role of capital construction in the region. Therefore the question that guides the study is: how a region that produces wealth distribute it in the form of collective goods? With this, it gives a reading of sociospatial inequality for the Serra's town in a conception of services and "basic" urban equipments as sewer, sidewalks, public transportation, garbage collection and street lighting

Three studies were conducted to analyze the relationship between public infrastructure investment and regional economic performance. The first study examines the literature on economic development and productivity growth. I show that conflicting results from studies by other analysts are the likely result of poor public capital data spanning to short an interval, and an inadequate modeling framework. Public investment may generate small improvements in productivity, but models understate economic impacts owing to the public goods character of some forms of public capital. The second study explores the relationship between economic distress and public infrastructure investment. I use a sample of U.S. counties to analyze public investment according to level of economic distress. With simple investment models, I estimated infrastructure needs for counties with apparent shortfalls. I analyzed the needs-estimates in a series of case studies in which jurisdiction planning and budget personnel were consulted about the accuracy of the estimates. I show that short-run economic distress is not to be linked to public infrastructure investment. Over the long-run, investment varies by level of distress, but as a consequence of private residential investment. The needs-estimating models were reasonably accurate, but missing investment data proved troublesome. Counties proved to be a poor unit of analysis for infrastructure needs, as since significant variation was observed among jurisdictions within counties. The third study demonstrates the need for better estimates of public infrastructure capital stock. I prepared new capital stock estimates for two regions using local investment data and survey-based public capital service lives. I surveyed one thousand jurisdictions in the New England region and the state of Texas. Survey-based service-lives seem to differ significantly from estimated lives. Stock estimates using local investment data and survey-based service-lives produce dramatic differences compared to estimated stocks at the state and regional level. The new data, however, performed just as poorly as other series when used to estimate aggregate production functions. Prior analysts' understanding the relationship between economic performance and public infrastructure investment has been limited because of poor data, and inadequate appreciation of infrastructure's inherent complexity. The research presented here demonstrates that significant improvements are possible and worth undertaking.

Повний текст джерелаRegional integration has gained keen drive since the 1980s throughout the world. Political and economic considerations complement each other in any kind of process; yet classical economic integration theory would advocate that regional integration is an economic process occurring largely as a result of greater interaction between neighboring states, functioning almost like a kind of invisible hand. This theory is based on the historical example of the development of the European Union, yet it completely discounts the fact that the European Union was first and foremost a political project. Such also has been the case with the Southern African Customs Union (SACU), the world’s oldest customs union, and with the Southern African Development Cooperation Conference (SADCC) and its successor, the Southern African Development Community (SADC).
Using the new regionalisms approach, with focus on SADC as a representative regional economic community, the purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of the extent to which politics rather than economic considerations, has determined the establishment and functioning of SADCC (1980-1992) and thereafter of SADC (from August 17, 1992) and to point out the impact, that these political-driven processes has had on the development of the southern African region integration. A qualitative content analysis is used for data collection while policy analysis is brought out using the Institutional Analysis and Development framework. The results of this study reveal divergence between policy formulation (political) and policy implementation (economic) when it comes to enhancing the developmental aspects in the unfolding regional integration process, yet both equally influential. Moreover, policy formulation at the collective-action level still lacks concrete strategies and plans for the harmonization and implementation of regional initiatives. Some of the strategies for deepening the regional integration process would include prioritizing regional commitments to external ones and improving policy formulation as well as establishing linkages between different regional policies and strategies.

Повний текст джерелаInitiated by the Second Carnegie Conference on Poverty in South Africa, this study analyses the causes and extent of underdevelopment and poverty in Namaqualand and outlines a possible approach to redress these problems. Namaqualand is shown to be a sparsely populated area, the physical characteristics of which are both a fundamental cause of underdevelopment and a constraint on future development. It is argued that competition for land and other resources is an important cause of poverty in the region. The processes by which the indigenous population was forced into uninhabitable areas, and mission stations were established to reserve land for local people, are traced. The contradictory role of missionaries is analysed as well as Government and other's efforts to coerce the region's inhabitants into wage labour. Relevant literature is reviewed to elucidate underdevelopment and the scope for future development. The conclusion drawn is that no body of theory adequately explains Namaqualand's underdevelopment or offers workable solutions. An eclectic approach is adopted. The present socio-economic characteristics of the population and the state of development in the major economic sectors are described. It is evident that there is little economic diversification. Namaqualand's inhabitants depend heavily on economic activities vulnerable to marked fluctuations. Employment opportunities are limited. Living standards are constrained by poor education, physical and social mobility. Current development projects and strategies are listed and analyzed. Initiatives taken by various development agents are found to have been retarded by the constraints already mentioned. It is concluded that they lack co-ordination and do not form part of a clearly formulated development strategy. A development proposal encompassing distinct strategies is presented. These are: (i) to enhance economic mobility (ii) to improve the quality of life (iii) to exploit development potential. The ways in which these strategies complement one another are outlined, and government's role emphasized. It is argued that efforts should be concentrated on activities in which Namaqualand appears to have a comparative advantage. The need for applied research into appropriate projects and techniques is stressed as is community involvement in all phases. Close co-operation between development agents is essential. Finally in an addendum some constraints and parallels between Namaqualand and some smaller black homelands in South Africa are drawn. Statutory influx control has not determined Namaqualand's low population mobility. Emigration is possible and should constitute a vital element of any development strategy for the region. The effect on the rest of South Africa would be negligible compared to the black homeland's surplus population. At the same time the need for local government initiatives and for the transfer of public resources into such regions is stressed.

Повний текст джерелаThe fragmentation of the productive process led to a greater economic integration in the last decades, making it indispensable to analyze the region in a wider territorial context. Consequently, the interregional input-output models have gained relevance due to their incorporating aspects of regional interdependence. However, the scarcity of survey data required for the construction of these models, compelled the use of non-survey techniques to estimate non-available information. Because of various possible combinations of non-survey techniques, interregional input-output systems for the same set of regions in the same year may be different in partitive and holistic terms. Thus, this thesis aims to evaluate how the choice among different interregional systems estimation methods can influence the results of inputoutput analysis in national and subnational approaches. Initially, two interstate input-output systems are estimated for the 27 Brazilian UFs, using two of the main methods in the Brazilian literature, the Interregional Input-Output Adjustment System (IIOAS) and the Supply and Use Interregional Tables (TUPI). When comparing these two systems, even with expressive differences in partitive terms, they presented a high holistic accuracy. Therefore, the use of IIOAS or TUPI to build an interregional system for the 27 Brazilian UFs does not compromise the results of the input-output analysis. Nonetheless, for specific studies that involve a specific sector or region, the analyst must be aware of the possible variations observed in this study, especially if they are in the North of Brazil. Subsequently, two of the most important global input-output systems, Intercountry Input-Output Model (ICIO) from OECD and the World Input-Output Table (WIOT) from WIOD were described and compared. Like IIOAS and TUPI, the low partitive accuracy between systems estimated from ICIO and WIOT did not turn into a low holistic accuracy, i.e., it did not compromise the results of the input-output analysis for most countries. However, when it comes to a specific analysis for some countries such as Malta, Cyprus, Lithuania and Luxembourg and/or some sectors, especially service sectors, it is necessary to consider some remarks pointed out in this study. Considering the results for global and subnational models, it is concluded that, in a general way, the use of any system here estimated would not compromise public policies. Nevertheless, this research addressed just some of the main available interregional input-output estimation methods. A possible future development of this study would be the inclusion of other methods in the comparison process, to further support the literature about the importance of the method.
