In Defence of Shift-Share

Urban Studies, 1979
The paper argues that criticisms of shift-share techniques are insufficiently strong to affect its application to the analysis of regional growth in the United Kingdom. Evidence for the 11 British regions for 1952-75 is used to demonstrate the robustness of the technique in the context of differing levels of sectoral disaggregation and choice of base ...

Shift-Share-Analyse

WiSt - Wirtschaftswissenschaftliches Studium, 2011
In der Regional- und Clusterforschung werden haufig die Entwicklungsaussichten von Regionen herangezogen, um zu bestimmen, wohin staatliche Fordergelder fliesen sollen. Auf diesem Forschungsgebiet ist mittlerweile unstrittig, dass die Branchenschwerpunkte einer Region bedeutenden Einfluss auf deren wirtschaftliche Prosperitat haben. Weit verbreitet ist

Shift-Share Analysis as a Linear Model

Environment and Planning A: Economy and Space, 1991
Shift-share analysis continues to be popular among geographers, regional scientists, and planners despite widespread criticism of the method. In this paper, it is argued that insufficient attention has been paid to model-based approaches to shift—share analysis.

A comparison of shift-share and the RAS adjustment

Regional Science and Urban Economics, 1980
It is argued that the RAS procedure applied to regions and industries performs a function similar to that of the shift-share technique, and that RAS has the advantage of a justification based on concepts from information theory.

Dynamic Shift‐Share Analysis

Growth and Change, 1988
ABSTRACTMost applications of shift‐share analysis to regional employment change have used a study period of several years and have examined conditions only at the beginning and end years. This comparative static approach does not take into account the continuous changes in both industrial mix and size of total employment of the region over the study ...

Identification of export opportunities: A shift‐share approach

The International Executive, 1985
The search for new export markets is a high priority for firms in the 1980s. This article considers a technique that could be useful in screening markets and products for possible export opportunities. The technique is called shift-share analysis and has been heretofore employed primarily in regional analysis studies. We demonstrate the manner in which

Testing Dynamic Shift-Share

1994
All economies change over time. Shift-share decomposes total regional growth, ascribing changes in a local economy to three distinct factors. The national growth effect estimates the regional expansion due to growth in the nation. The industry mix effect measures the degree that an area gains jobs or incomes because it is home to industries that are ...

A Reconnaissance Through the History of Shift-Share Analysis

2020
Some research methods come and go, and others persist through time. If you had asked regional analysts in 1980 about the future of shift-share analysis, most of them undoubtedly would have grunted in dismal tones. Statistical software and ever-rising computational capacity appeared to be storm clouds on the horizon for this analytical approach that had

An empirical examination of shift‐share instruments

Journal of Regional Science, 2020
AbstractBartik's (1991, 1993) approach to identifying shocks in demand to regional economies has been used extensively for nearly 30 years. We chronicle the development of Bartik‐type shift‐share instruments and examine the empirical performance of alternative versions that use different combinations of national shift and local share variables in their

Structural Decomposition and Shift-Share Analyses: Let the Parallels Converge

2017
Intuitively, structural decomposition analysis (SDA) demonstrates strong similarities to shift-share analysis (SSA). Both examine the effects of industry shifts due to growth (or decline) and some sort of difference in industry shares. But SSA works its shares across space while SDA works its shares again across industries via technology change ...
