Unemployment and vacancy flows in spatial labour market matching

What is it about?

We examine the extent to which spatial interactions affect the labour market matching process at the regional level using three frameworks: random, stock-flow, and job-queuing. We study the underexplored, regionally diversified former transition country of Poland at the LAU-1 level over the 2003–2014 time period using registered monthly data.

Why is it important?

Policy actions should be aimed at exploiting spatial interdependencies to improve matching at the regional level by increasing the number of available job offers, improving information, and increasing labour force mobility.
