abstract: 'This paper analyses the efficacy of regional and federal government
policies in reducing inter-regional unemployment disparities. We use as
our framework a two-region general equilibrium model with a given
freely-mobile supply of labour. We assume inter-regional migration to
occur in response to inter-regional utility differentials. Each region
has households, firms and a regional government. In addition to regional
governments, there is a federal government. The firms in a region use a
single factor, labour, to produce a single good which we assume to be
different to that produced in the other region. It is supplied to
households and to the regional government in the form of payroll taxes.
Households consume some, trade some with households in the other region
and give some up to the federal government as income tax. Firms and
households bargain over wages and firms then choose employment to
maximise profits. The resulting equilibrium will generally not be a
full-employment one.
We simulate a linearised numerical version of the model. We examine
seven alternative policies, six carried out by a regional government and
one by the federal government. In the first group there are traditional
tax/expenditure polices as well as policies which might be seen as
attacking the natural rate of unemployment: changes in unemployment
benefits, changes in union power, changes in the labour force and
changes in labour productivity. The federal government policy is a
regionally-differentiated fiscal policy.
Contrary to expectations, many policies which have traditionally been
recommended to alleviate unemployment are found, in fact, to exacerbate
the unemployment problem.'
