Dekompozycja zmian w stopie bezrobocia w województwach Polski wschodniej

Regions and other administrative division units have various labour market condition. In Poland, due to e.g. historical legacies, past investments, the structure of production, availability of resources, diversified productivity, peripheral location, the worst situation on a labour market is observed in regions of Eastern Poland. The aim of this article is to identify the impact of demand and supply unemployment rate fluctuactions in this particular area. Therefore, the changes in unemployment rates in years 2006-2012 were decomposed into two categories: (1) demand contribution and (2) supply contribution. The decomposition of changes in unemployment rate, carried out with the equation developed by Elsby, Hibijn and Sahin has led to the conclusion that dominant impact on changes of unemployment in regions of Eastern Poland and the economy as a whole had demand fluctuactions, which were subsequently (apart from supply factors) analysed in detail.
