Incorporating Sectoral Structure into Shift,Share Analysis

GROWTH AND CHANGE, Issue 4 2009
MIGUEL A. MÁRQUEZ
ABSTRACT The objective of this article is to present a new way to incorporate the sectoral dimension within the components of regional growth provided by the traditional shift,share analysis. The new methodology elaborates the way that the dynamics of a specific sector in a region are influenced by the performance of other sectors, the latter decomposed between national, structural, and differential effects. To illustrate this extension of the shift,share method, an application is provided using data for the Spanish region of Extremadura for the period 1990,2004. The results highlight how these new components can shed new insights into the analysis of sectoral and regional economic growth processes. [source]

Constant market shares analysis: uses, limitations and prospects,

AUSTRALIAN JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURAL & RESOURCE ECONOMICS, Issue 4 2006
Fredoun Z. Ahmadi-Esfahani
In this paper, we generalise the constant market shares (CMS) framework, with particular attention to the underlying theoretical conditions required for diagnostic interpretation. The approach is applied to the analysis of the export performance of the Australian processed food sector in South-East Asia over the period 1980,2003. We conclude that the usefulness of CMS analysis for evaluating a country's international trade performance depends upon the empirical validity of the aggregation assumptions implicit in the diagnostic interpretation.

The new intra-urban dynamics: Suburbanisation and functional specialisation in French cities,

PAPERS IN REGIONAL SCIENCE, Issue 1 2002

suburbanisation; functional specialisation; urban subcentres; shift-share analysis; central cities/suburbs relationships Abstract This article examines the relationships between the employment sub-urbanisation from central cities towards their suburbs, and the process of intraurban specialisation that occurred simultaneously in the fifty largest French metropolitan areas. A methodology is proposed to identify urban subcentres and to analyse the effects of the intra-urban specialisations on suburbanisation patterns. We conclude that the specialisation of both subcentres and central cities has a significant effect on suburbanisation rates. Lastly, an intra-metropolitan shift/share analysis provides additional insights into the employment dynamics of central cities and suburbs during the last twenty years. [source]
