Abstract

Job creation and destruction estimates are made for Northern Ireland manufacturing using the Annual Respondents Database. The results suggest net job losses of 70,300 from 1973-93 were the result of job creation (i.e. firm entry and expansion) of 122,500 and job destruction (i.e. firm closure and contraction) of 192,900.
