Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study analyzed how employment in high-productivity sectors and large companies spills over to other sectors and employment in small and medium-sized companies, and examined the impact of telework, a new way of working. The results revealed that employment in the high-productivity sector has a low spillover effect on other sectors and is not efficiently linked to regional economic growth. The study also found that while teleworking improves productivity and life satisfaction, its impact varies by region.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

雇用の波及効果について、経路や効果を明らかにし、従来のマクロモデルと個別政策の間を埋めるような学術的貢献を果たした。また、テレワークの導入が生産性や生活満足度に与える影響や、さらに、留保賃金や求人が出ている場所について分析することで、労働市場や地域経済にどのように貢献するかを示した。これらにより、雇用政策や産業政策への参考情報を提供し、地域および日本全体の発展に寄与することが期待される。
