Abstract:The relationship between diversity and unemployment has long been an important issue for regional scientists. This article applies quarterly data for four regions in Taiwan during the 1981-2004 period and the empirical results indicate that regional diversity can reduce the national unemployment rate, and this is solid support for the hypothesis of inter-regional migration. To further evaluate this, the interactions among regional unemployment rates are tested using the seemingly unrelated regression estimatio… Show more

This paper aims to investigate the causal relationship between unemployment and emigration in Lithuania using Granger – causality test. The research is based on annual data spanning the period of 2004–2012. The investigation encompasses two steps. Firstly, the authors have analyzed the Lithuanian position regarding relationship between unemployment rate and emigration in the context of the European Union countries; secondly, the causality between unemployment and emigration has been determined in the case of Lithuania. On the basis of the European Union countries statistical data, results of the research have revealed a weak correlation between unemployment rate and emigration. On the contrary, evidence has suggested the existence of a strong relationship between unemployment and emigration in Lithuania. Results of the Granger – causality test have showed that unemployment impacts on emigration in Lithuania.

“…Typical of Taiwan is the relatively high degree of dynamics on the labour market. In Taiwan, worker mobility is high in an international comparison, and inter-regional migration in Taiwan is relatively extensive (Tsou et al 2001;Chiang 2009). This suggests that regional income inequality is not severely affected by mismatching supply and demand factors on the labour market.…”
Section: Regional Divergence Agglomeration and Inequalitymentioning
This study investigates long-term distributional effects of regional agglomeration. We analyse changes in relative incomes for different educational and occupational categories in Taiwan from 1976-2006, a period during which the country underwent fundamental structural change from labour to knowledge intensive industry and increasing globalisation of the economy. Long-term patterns derived from repeated estimations of cross-sectional micro level data from 31 consecutive annual household surveys show that less educated groups are not systematic losers of the transformation as positive externalities of agglomeration are both significant and widespread in the leading region. The famous pattern of 'growth with equity' in Taiwan has, however, become a regional rather than national feature.
Over the past few years, a large number of studies have focused on whether population or employment is critical to the source of metropolitan growth. However, only few attempts have so far been made to additionally consider the suburbanization stage and pattern of commuting, which may both enable us to explore this "chicken-egg" issue a little further. The purpose of this paper is to compare dwelling-based (housing) with job-based (job) employment to evaluate the net commuting. The Taipei metropolitan area, for example, now lies at the initial suburbanization stage with only population decentralization and massive in-commuting to the central city. The estimation results based on a co-integration system reveal that the central-city employment can be regarded as an engine of this metropolitan economy. Besides, we also find that dwelling-based employment distorts the causality between population and employment, especially from the variance-decomposition accounts. Therefore, the importance of commuting to investigating the evolution of metropolitan economy should not be overlooked.
