Abstract
Buck T. W. (1970) Shift and share analysis—A guide to regional policy?, Reg. Studies 4, 445–450. This paper examines empirically the usefulness of shift and share analysis as applied to regional employment growth. Even when theoretical objections to the technique are put aside, it seems that the data employed in the U.K. are unsuitable on methodological grounds for such a sophisticated weighting operation. Many conclusions which have been published as to the importance of industrial structure and to the causes of differential growth in U.K. regions are considered unwarrantable in the circumstances.
