摘要
High technology employment has received little attention in shift-share analysis. The purpose of this paper is to utilize shift-share analysis to analyze high technology employment change in 37 metropolitan areas. We find that shift share analysis is a useful tool to study employment gains and losses in metropolitan areas. Most of the gains and losses in a metropolitan area can be explained by the regions competitiveness component.
