Abstract
The purpose of the study is to describe the spatial variation of GDP per capita and unemployment rates in the Ukrainian oblasts in the years 2004—2015. The influence of GDP growth rates and unemployment rate delayed by one year on the growth of unemployment rate was examined. For this purpose, methods of panel data econometrics (regression with fixed effects) were used. The research used data published by the State Statistics Service of Ukraine. In the initial years of the analysed period, Ukraine was rapidly developing, which led to an increase in employment and a decrease in unemployment. The global financial crisis resulted in one-year recession and a rapid growth of the unemployment. After the events in the years 2013—2014 (Euromaidan) there was a decline in GDP combined with an increase in unemployment. These processes to the greatest extent were present in the oblasts of Eastern Ukraine, especially in Luhansk and Donetsk.
