Determinants of spatial differentiation of labour markets in Ukraine
Determinants of spatial differentiation of labour markets in Ukraine

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to present the differentiation of the situation in regional labour markets in Ukraine in the years 2004–2017. The analyses carried out for this purpose concern the diversity and dynamics of macroeconomic variables, such as labour productivity (measured by GDP per worker), wages, and unemployment rates. Moreover, using panel data from the Statistical Office of Ukraine, the authors estimate the parameters of a set of equations based on increments and levels by means of the system estimator of the generalized Blundell and Bond moments method from 1998. The estimates concern the parameters of equations describing the main determinants of the increase in unemployment rates and wages for the entire Ukrainian economy – both Left- and Right-Bank Ukraine.
