Collective Learning, Effective Demand, Loss of Work and Loss of Direction
MacKay R. R. and Davies R. Collective learning, effective demand, loss of work and loss of direction: the growing regional divide within the UK, Regional Studies. The local economy relies on a division of labour that develops highly specialized skills. In searching for an understanding of the growing work gap within the United Kingdom, emphasis is placed on recessions that connect to loss and redundancy of physical and human capital. High levels …
Unemployment, Permanent Sickness, and Nonwork in the United Kingdom
Employment, unemployment, and inactivity need to be studied in real historical time, not in the context of theoretical, timeless, market-clearing equilibrium. Four data sets from the UK Census, the Labour Force Survey, the Department of Employment, and Social Security Statistics are used to show changes in employment, unemployment, inactivity, and permanent sickness between 1971 and 2001. The different sources confirm that unemployment becomes in…
Twenty-five Years of Regional Development
MACKAY R. R. (2003) Twenty-five years of regional development , Reg. Studies 37 , 303-317. Up to the mid 1970s there was a trend towards greater regional equality in the distribution of income and wealth in the UK. However, over the last 25 years regional inequality has increased, as have other forms of inequality. Growing inequality has been associated with a more difficult labour market. The growing gap between a prosperous Inner Region Core an…
Regional Taxing and Spending
The financial settlement has been described as the key to devolution. Public spending above tax in Scotland and Wales has been criticized. Public spending is above tax in seven UK regions, including four English regions. If we treat equal citizens equally, public spending will be above tax in poorer regions. There is nothing extraordinary about spending above tax, but there are important questions with regard to regional levels of expenditure. In…

A Europe of the Regions
MACKAY R. R. (1993) European union: a role for nonmarket forces?, Reg. Studies 27, 419–431. The MacDougall Report anticipated that regional (fiscal) transfer within Europe would grow as part of European economic and monetary integration. This paper explores the theme of regional transfer by: (1) underlining their continued importance within national economies; (2) developing links to Hirschman's nonmarket forces; (3) indicating form in the contex…
