Review of Urban & Regional Development Studies, 1989, vol. 1, issue 1, 65-79

Abstract: Three separate econometric methods based on a shift†share model of employment change are used to assess the effect of federal Department of Regional Economic Expansion (DREE) policies in creating manufacturing employment in the province of Quebec and the Atlantic provinces of Canada. Results cast doubt on some optimistic claims regarding the impact of DREE policies.
