A new approach for delineating and validating labour market regions

Abstract

"In our paper we propose a new approach for delineating functional labour market regions based on commuting flows with strong interactions within the region and few connections with outside areas. As functional regions are an important basis for analysis in regional science and for labour market and economic policy it is necessary to define functional regions in an adequate way."
