Abstract: This study estimates the local employment multiplier for the case of Korea by using two distinct geographic units of analyses: working vs. living areas. Empirical results show that the estimates based on residential areas are relatively larger. From IV results, each additional job in the manufacturing sector seems to locally create 1.5 jobs in the service sector. It is smaller than those for US but larger than those for Swedish case.
