SPECIALIZATION, DIVERSITY, AND REGION SIZE
Abstract :
This paper investigates the changes in employment structures of Turkish NUTS 3 regions, and examines the links between sectoral composition and region size. Emphasis is given to measuring specialization and diversity independently and with different measures, and also at different levels of sectoral aggregation. The results of the analyses undertaken indicate a tendency towards more specialization. The study has found a negative relationship between size and specialization, and a positive relationship between size and diversity.
