Abstract

This paper estimates the matching of job seekers and vacant jobs in Norwegian regional labour markets. The main goal of the study is to analyse whether differing settlement patterns across regions can explain the ability of regional labour markets to form new matches. The basic matching function is extended to account for spatial spillovers between regions. The paper finds that matching efficiency in regions with low average population density, but with few dense, urban settlements, is as high as in urbanized highdensity areas. It is therefore important to take into account both population density and dispersion of population within a region when analysing matching in regional labour markets.
