Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study we propose econometric model to analyze the different unemployment rate region. We reveal the structure of unemployment in Japan by estimation the model. In this the proposed model, we estimate by the use of cross-section data or panel data, and a spatial term representing the correlation between regions. In this study, we estimate by not a physical distance variables but a temporal distance. It has become possible to simulate the impact of changes in the traffic situation.
