Abstract: | This paper develops an econometric model for studying the structure of regional labor markets. We estimate the model for three
representative Western German federal states. The simulation results of these heterogeneous states reveal substantial structural
differences in the short as well as the long-run. These differences impact on labor demand and labor supply and, hence, call
for investigating demand and supply of labor instead of merely the unemployment rate. The revealed commonalities and differences
may help regional as well as national policy makers to formulate policies tailored at the specific needs of regional labor
markets. |
