We aim at contributing to the literature by analyzing (i) whether regional unemployment and sub-groups (with respect to gender, age, education) is driven by excessive labor supply or shortage of labor demand, (ii) which sub-groups have higher unemployment in regions. In terms of methodology, we employ descriptive and exploratory analyses, spatial tests and panel regressions. Our findings indicate three main results: First, there is a sizable difference in unemployment rates across regions and the dispersion is getting stronger over time. Second, there are extremely low and high unemployment rates in various sub-groups and regions. Third, changes in unemployment is mostly driven by changes in labor supply rather than demand. Among the 208 cases (26 regions x 8 sub-groups), in 154 cases, the major driver of unemployment is the excessive labor supply.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Keywords:<\/strong> Regional Unemployment, Labor Supply, Panel Data Regression<\/p>\n<p><strong>JEL classification: <\/strong>R11, R23, R12<br \/>\n<em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.rsijournal.eu\/ARTICLES\/June_2019\/1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">read more<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hasan ENGIN DURAN Izmir Institute of Technology, City and Regional Planning Department, Associate Professor of Economics, G\u00fclbahce Kamp\u00fcs\u00fc, Izmir Y\u00fcksek Teknoloji Ensit\u00fcs\u00fc, Mimarl\u0131k Fak\u00fcltesi, \u015eehir ve b\u00f6lge Planlama B\u00f6l\u00fcm\u00fc, Urla-Izmir,\u00a0 Tel: +90 232 750 70 66 enginduran@iyte.edu.tr Abstract Aim of the study is to investigate region specific causes of unemployment for Turkish 26 Nuts-2 regions&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[181],"tags":[793,794,272,264,788,792],"class_list":["post-3394","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-published","tag-labor-supply","tag-panel-data-regression","tag-r11","tag-r12","tag-r23","tag-regional-unemployment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/rsijournal.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3394","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/rsijournal.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/rsijournal.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rsijournal.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rsijournal.eu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3394"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/rsijournal.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3394\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3409,"href":"https:\/\/rsijournal.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3394\/revisions\/3409"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/rsijournal.eu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3394"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rsijournal.eu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3394"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rsijournal.eu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3394"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
