Local Skill Concentrations and District Employment Growth: A Spatial Simultaneous Equation Approach for India
Published By: Indira Gandhi Institute of Development Research | Published Date: August, 01 , 2014The focus of this paper is to explore the role of spatial distribution of skills in explaining differential growth rates of employment across Indian districts between the years 2001 and 2011 by using data from Census of India. To measure skills across districts, the skill-content of occupations and the occupational distribution of workers across districts is used. Employment and population growth are modelled simultaneously taking into account spatial correlation of the endogenous variables.
