The Evaluation of Norwegian Regional Policy: Parameter Variation in Regional Shift Models

Roger Bivand

Environment and Planning C, 1986, vol. 4, issue 1, 71-90

Abstract: Starting from a conventional shift-share analysis of Norwegian industrial employment series for 1951-1982, the author attempts to establish the existence of a breakpoint in the shift series for counties subject to regional policy measures, by using recursive regression methods. Such a change having been found in the plots of trend and quadratic trend parameters, the counterfactual method is used to estimate the effects of regional policy, 1970–1982, for four counties.
