Resilience and vulnerability of regional labour markets: principal component analysis of labour market efficiency in the EU
提出并测试了一个分析框架,用主成分分析等方法研究韧性和脆弱性对欧盟区域劳动力市场效率的影响,为政策制定提供新视角。
This study proposes and tests an operational framework to examine the significance of resilience and the related concept of vulnerability, for labour market efficiency, in the context of regional competitiveness. The performance of European regional labour markets is analysed, compared and assessed using a methodology based on principal component analysis with regression modelling and decision tree techniques. The proposed operational framework and its spatial distribution offer new theoretical, methodological and empirical insights into understanding the real contribution of resilience and vulnerability to regional labour markets. The added value of the proposed operational framework is its direct policy-oriented perspective.
