Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of the difference in the volume of final demand and the composition of final demand on inter-regional differences in employment in the country using regional data tables for 31 provinces. For this purpose, first, regional data tables were prepared for 31 provinces of the country, and then the effect of the difference in the volume of the final demand, as well as the difference in the composition of the final demand of different regions of the country with the national average, has been investigated. The results of this study have shown that the difference in the volume of final demand had a positive effect in 8 provinces and a negative effect in 23 provinces. The most positive and negative effects are for Tehran province and North Khorasan province, respectively. The effect of the difference in final demand composition is positive in 19 provinces and negative in other 12 provinces.
