摘要：In a study of unemployment rate movements in Canada, Beaudry (1976) concluded that significant regional differences exist in the intensity and time lag with which unemployment rmcts to aggregate demand shocks. Thus, some regions of Canada are affected more severely by recessions than other regions. For policy makers interested in using policy-induced output shocks to affect the regional distribution of unemployment in Canada, it is important to have a quantitative measure of these regional differences.
