The interindustry employment demand variable : an extension of the I-SAMIS technique for linking input-output and econometric models
I-SAMIS=integrated small-area modeling of the industrial sector. The interindustry demand variable incorporates input-output linkages into time-series employment equations, and is modified to reflect differences in labor productivity among
industries. This model is constructed for the Louisville metropolitan area.
Employment and unemployment statistics for rural areas

of employment in Amsterdam. It appears that the decrease of jobs in the city is primarily caused by contraction and liquidation of manufacturing firms and by relocation of firms in the service industry including wholesale firms, out of the administrative area
. This applies even more strongly for the inner city. The employment in the urban renewal areas has fallen less quickly than in the inner city. (AGD).
In this article is analysed to what extent the economic position of the city of Amsterdam is being influenced by the loss of population and employment. Particular attention is paid to the different factors which have determined the development
Danish rural areas : recent experiences and future trends
Changing functions of rural areas in the Baltic Sea Region
Denmark ; Development ; Employment ; Income ; Rural area ; Rural population
Danish rural areas comprise 15% of the population and the bulk of agricultural production. Compared with urban areas, rural areas have generally been lacking a little behind in terms of employment, population and income levels in recent decades
. However, seen in a European perspective, the differences are rather small and have to a certain extent been leveled by the Danish welfare system, through transfer of funds from rich to poor regions. Certain remote and vulnerable areas are facing serious
problems in stimulating growth. This paper describes the characteristics of Danish rural areas, and highlights the diversity found among these areas as well as difference in future development potentials. - (BJ)

This paper tests the link between the creative industries and wage and employment growth in a panel of travel-to-work areas from 2003 to 2008. The results suggest the creative industries drive both wage and employment growth in other sectors
. However, when only urban areas are considered the creative industries drive wage growth but do not increase employment. These findings are consistent with the idea that the creative industries help other sectors grow, but may squeeze out declining
High technology location and the urban areas of Great Britain : developments in the 1980s
Economic restructuring ; Employment ; Great Britain ; High-tech industry ; Regional disparities ; Specialization ; Technology ; United Kingdom ; Urban economy
New towns appear more successful than other urban areas in attracting high technology, and this continued to be the case during the 1980s. There is evidence of a relative increase of high technology activity in smaller urban areas since 1981
, whereas the conurbations have been losing ground. The A. presents new data on trends in employment in this sector.

than 80 % of the occupational commuters in par-time employment are female. The increase in commuter flows, the growth of the distances covered in this process and the increased dispersion are also reflected in the transport expenses. - (IfL)

the Objective One and non-Objective One area narrowed during the funding period. However, there is substantial variation across the four funding areas: Objective One status had a positive effect on employment in South Yorkshire and on job-related training
This paper examines the short-run impact of European Union Objective One funding on local labour markets in Great Britain. The evidence from a difference-in-difference analysis reveals that employment and job-related training gaps between

The article considers the so-called co-location hypothesis, according to which a reduction of occupational traffic could arise in the course of decentralization processes of employment. This could be expected when long occupational commuting
distancesfrom suburban areas into the central city were replaced by shorter commuting relations within the suburban areas. Taking four German agglomeration areas as a case in point, the author reaches the overall conclusion that the co-location hypothesis cannot
