The relationships between specific objectives related to goals of national efficiency (as measured by the trade-off between aggregate wage rate changes and aggregate unemployment) and interregional equity (as measured by the regional distribution of unemployment rates) are explored through empirical analyses of Canada and the United Kingdom. The evidence is inconsistent and neither supports nor refutes Higgins' assertion that attention to regional gaps is an important component of national growth and development policy
