Abstract
This paper investigates the relationship between regional and national unemployment for the UK for the period 1974–1989. This problem is approached by using the time-series methods of cointegration and causality tests. The main conclusions are that regional and national unemployment are not as closely related as might have been supposed although any causation may, as previously assumed, run from the national to the regional level. Some regions are seen to be changing their position in the hierarchy of relative regional unemployment while most retain their relative status.
