This paper analyzes the impact of the introduction of a general, automatic labor subsidy in a regional economy, concentrating on employment effects. The authors adopt a computable general equilibrium approach, using a model parameterized on data from a U.K. region, Scotland. Two particular issues are identified which have usually been neglected in previous work in this area: the impact of the fiscal injection associated with the subsidy and the qualitative and quantitative consequences of allowing the nature of the regional labor market to vary.
