How Technology Investments Destroy and Create Manufacturing Jobs: Firm Evidence From Sweden
This study draws on a longitudinal (2000−2020) firm‐level panel data set to investigate the relationship between investments in machinery and equipment, and jobs in the Swedish manufacturing sector. It finds a positive link between such investments and job creation in firms. Adding a firm exit indicator also demonstrates that low‐investing manufacturing firms are more likely to exit. Relying on a broad investment indicator, the results confirm fi…
Navigating regional opportunity spaces: Labour branching towards growing jobs
Regional conditions that smoothen the process of creative destruction and reduce adjustment costs are key transformative features. The aim of this article is therefore to first assess the regional presence of low- and high-demand occupations, and second, to assess the likelihood that workers in low-demand occupations will make productive changes to high-demand occupations in their region. Using matched employer-employee data on Sweden for the per…
Jumping scales and producing peripheries: Farmers’ adaptation strategies in crises
Resilience has gathered significant attention from economic geographers, yet their focus has primarily centered on economic outcomes at the regional level. This approach often overlooks the intricate micro-processes and lived experiences during crises, assuming that individual resilience can be understood solely through macro-level economic observations. We argue that comprehending the questions of resilience ‘to what means’ and ‘to what ends’ re…
Skill matching and mismatching: Labour market trajectories of redundant manufacturing workers
While re-employment opportunities for redundant workers have been a much-debated topic in economic geography, the characteristics of these new employments and the medium-run effect of major lay-offs constitute a less explored field. The present paper investigates skill matching between the pre-redundancy job and the employment workers have five years after redundancy by studying the distance and direction of their labour market trajectories. By f…
How do occupational relatedness and complexity condition employment dynamics in periods of growth and recession
Related diversification has generated interest in policy (Smart Specialisation) and academic (regional branching) circles, linking path creation to regional capabilities and performance. We develop measures of occupational relatedness and complexity for local labour market areas in Sweden over the period 2002–12 to examine whether these constructs are helpful in explaining spatial and temporal variations in employment growth. The results indicate…
Sectoral and geographical mobility of workers after large establishment cutbacks or closures
This paper studies redundant workers' industrial and geographical mobility, and the consequences of post-redundancy mobility for regional policy strategies. This is accomplished by means of a database covering all workers who became redundant in major shutdowns or cutbacks in Sweden between 1990 and 2005. Frequencies of industrial and geographical mobility are described over time, and the influence of some important characteristics that make work…
Returning to work: Regional determinants of re-employment after major redundancies
Using matched employer–employee data on roughly 429,000 workers made redundant from large plant closures or major downsizing in Sweden between 1990 and 2005, this paper analyses the role of the regional industry mix (specialization, related and unrelated variety) in the likelihood of returning to work. The results show that a high presence of same or related industries speeds up the re-employment process, while high concentrations of unrelated ac…
How do regional economies respond to crises? The geography of job creation and destruction in Sweden (1990–2010)
Using Swedish longitudinal micro-data, the aim of this paper is to analyse how regional economies respond to crises. This is made possible by linking gross employment flows to the notion of regional resilience. Our findings indicate that despite a steady national employment growth, only the three metropolitan regions have fully recovered from the recession of 1990. Further, we show evidence of high levels of job creation and destruction in both d…
