Wayne C. Curtis

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, 1972, vol. 54, issue 2, 267-270

Abstract: This note presents a technique for delineating changes in income and employment dimensions of rural counties or similar units. Shift-share analysis is portrayed as a descriptive tool with potential use in rural development research. A model to isolate sectoral income and employment changes in four rural counties is briefly discussed.
