Small Business Economics, 1998, vol. 10, issue 1, 47-59

Abstract: High technology employment has received little attention in shift-share analysis. The purpose of this paper is to utilize shift-share analysis to analyze high technology employment change in thirty-seven metropolitan areas. We find that shift share analysis is a useful tool to study employment gains and losses in metropolitan areas. Most of the gains and losses in a metropolitan area can be explained by the regions competitiveness component. Copyright 1998 by Kluwer Academic Publishers
