ANÁLISIS DE LA DINÁMICA REGIONAL DEL EMPLEO UTILIZANDO EL MODELO SHIFT SHARE ESPACIALMENTE MODIFICADO EN LA GRÁN ÁREA METROPOLITANA (GAM) DE COSTA RICA PARA EL PERIODO 2000-2011

Abstract

This article is a result from a broader study on the patterns of concentration and evolution 
of the process of industrial localization and the labor market in the Great Metropolitan
Area of Costa Rica (GAM). This study is part of the research program on regional
economics that the Institute of Research in Economic Sciences of the Universidad de
Costa Rica (IICE) has been conducting since the year 2005. The article is aimed to show
an approximation to the regional dynamics of employment in the GAM in the period 20002011.
In
order
to
do
that
we applied
the
Shift-Share
analysis
in
its
classic
and
spatially

modified
formulations.
This
allows
us
to
decompose
employment
growth
in
four
effects:

the
national
effect,
the
sectorial
effect,
the
regional
effect
and
the
“locational”
effect.
