Under what regional circumstances, does the creation of a new job causes the creation of additional jobs? What is the role of technology and skills for regional development organisation, and what is the interplay between globalization and local conditions?
Norway faces complications in the form of a small population, generally sparsely populated regions and long distances, thereby highlighting peripherality costs, but also increasingly facing the dilemmas posed by agglomerations, expressed by growing large cities. Under such circumstances the reallocation and establishment of public sector jobs might spur private sector employment locally, and thus be an important device for supporting regional economic growth.
Similarly, policies for strengthening the Nordic model with its widespread collusion and bargaining between unions and employers, might have heterogenous impacts locally, thus yielding different outcomes when comparing regions and when comparing groups within regions. One such policy could be the tax subsidies for union membership which vary over time. The project utilises population-wide linked employer-employee data for the period 1992-2016.
