Abstract

Norcliffe G. B. (1977) A components model for disaggregating regional productivity variations, Reg. Studies 11, 395–400. A model is presented that separates regional productivity performance into average, mix, scale and residual effects. This model is a components model, similar in form to the familiar shift-share model. Two structural effects are incorporated, namely the productivity component associated with the particular mix of industries in a region, and the productivity component associated with the size distribution of establishments within each industry. Canadian provincial data for 1969 is used to illustrate the model. The model has relevance to policy formulation as a heuristic but not as an explanatory device.
