title: Regional analyses of labor markets and demography: a model based Norwegian example.
abstract: The authors discuss the regional REGARD model, developed by Statistics Norway to analyze the regional implications of macroeconomic development of employment, labor force, and unemployment. "In building the model, empirical analyses of regional producer behavior in manufacturing industries have been performed, and the relation between labor market development and regional migration has been investigated.  Apart from providing a short description of the REGARD model, this article demonstrates the functioning of the model, and presents some results of an application."
