By virtue of simplicity the problematic shift and share technique has survived its criticism. But further efforts of revising the model are needed. This paper takes a very different approach toward the task. The well known economic-base model is proposed to be integrated with the traditional shift and share model through using the location quotient method, which requires the same data set as does the shift and share model. The integration is shown to increase not only the content of decomposition but also a priori explanation of the model. Employment changes in commercial business sector for Taipei and Kaohsiung during 1981-86 and 1986-91 are analyzed to illustrate the proposed E-D model with the results compared with the traditional shift and share model. It is argued that the former has a much promising future of development. |
