• W1516203447 abstract "The European Labour Market Regional Dimensions Floro Ernesto Caroleo and Sergio Destefanis (editors)1 by Peter Huber, Austrian Institute for Economic Research, Vienna This collective volume is published at a time when, in conjunction with the enlargement of the European Union and the Lisbon agenda, regional labour market issues are once more arousing increased academic and political interest. One of the book's strengths in this respect is its wide geographic coverage. While for instance Elhorst's (2003) important survey of research on regional unemployment differentials covers 41 contributions of which 15 focus exclusively on the UK and 14 on the US, this book, which comprises 14 papers presented at the seventeenth AIEL conference held at the University in Salerno in September 2002, does much better: Six contributions focus on comparative analysis of at least two EU countries, one on Poland, one on Germany, one on the UK and one study is theoretical. A slight national bias - which, however, seems to be justifiable in light of the interest of the case and the quality of the contributions - can only be found with respect to the four Italian studies, which focus on a survey of recent Italian attempts to define regional labour markets, estimates of the Italian Beveridge Curve, the reasons for widening unemployment differentials in Italy and the evaluation of labour market policy. The book also brings together papers on a wide set of issues such as measuring and assessing labour market flexibility, the role of skills, structural change and institutions in shaping regional labour market disparities and the evaluation of labour market policies. On the positive side, this implies that a reader, who reads all chapters, will be provided with a good overview of the topics currently on the research agenda in European regional labour market research - a value added that is underpinned by the thorough literature surveys provided in almost all of the papers and the two survey papers. On the negative side, however, the wide coverage creates the impression of a rather fragmented research agenda. This impression is reinforced by Caroleo's and Destefanis' introduction, which summarises the papers but provides little in the way of a unifying theoretical or empirical framework within which the separate contributions can be structured, and leaves the reader rather lonesome in interpreting the policy relevance of individual chapters. This is a pity in particular because one of the editors of the book, in a more recent paper (Caroleo and Pastore, 2007), suggests a research agenda for regional labour market research in an enlarged EU that is clearly linked to the lessons of this book. We would argue that against the background of this contribution, the high density of quality comparative work presented in this book provides a number of interesting results and - more importantly - presents a starting point for future research in the direction suggested in this paper. A number of contributions, for instance, address the issue of the impact of regional structural change on the labour market, which is the first research priority in the list presented in Caroleo and Pastore (2007). This applies most strongly to those papers which focus on transition economies (i.e. the new member states of the EU). Ferragina and Pastore in their survey of the literature on regional development in transition, which (together with their 2007 publication in the Journal of Economic Surveys) is likely to become an important reference, link this literature to the theoretical literature on the optimal speed of transition and suggest that regional analysis can be used to discriminate between competing explanations for the high and persistent unemployment rates in most transition countries. They conclude that the evidence favours interpretations where persistent unemployment rate disparities reflect differences in the speed of restructuring in transition This link between labour market disparities and restructuring is also highlighted in the other papers focusing on new member states. …" @default.
