My dissertation is about regional economic modeling for understanding local economy, economic impact analysis and forecasting. In the first essay, I developed a nonspatial version of community policy analysis model for Missouri counties. In my second essay, I introduced space into my model. I specified and estimated a model using generalized spatial three-stage least square procedures. In my third essay, using South Korean regional data, I compared forecasting accuracy of non-spatial, spatial lag, spatial error and spatial lag and error model using in-sample data. I also compared the impact estimates of nonspatial and spatial models. The spatial components appear to improve the accuracy of the intra-county impacts. It appears that the estimated parameters tend to be sensitive to the specification of weight matrices if the sizes of spatial units are heterogeneous and vice versa. Employment is the main driver of each of the model.

In the United States, the economic recession and the ongoing economic restructuring have led researchers and policy makers to revisit their assumptions about the drivers of economic growth. My research seeks to understand the drivers of economic growth in two regions of the United States that have suffered the most during the recent period – Appalachia and the Great Lakes Region.

The second chapter investigates local labor supply’s responses to demand shocks during the recession years in the context of China. Greater flexibility of the local labor market is an indicator of stronger local economies. The rationale is that states or regions within a country may receive asymmetric demand shocks, so that people from severely-hit regions may move towards less-affected regions, thus reducing the aggregate unemployment rate. It is convenient for economists to study the impacts of 2007 economic recession on countries other than the US, because this recession can be seen as an exogenous shock for other countries. I try to isolate the impacts of this demand shock on different local labor supply responses by examining pre- and post-recession effects. Specifically, the effects of employment changes on the unemployment rate, labor force participation rate, and migration are investigated. To deal with endogeneity, “Bartik-style” industrial mix and “Regress-M” are used as instrument variables to identify causal effects. Results show that the role of migration in alleviating negative demand shocks has decreased over time, which could be the consequence of government-led local development policy.
