  6. Data 75 Russian regions (we have to omit data for 8 regions) Time period 2000-2009 years Dependent variable: YU - the unemployment rate in the 20-29 age group photo photo photo

  11. Hypotheses • The situation with youth unemployment in Russia is more serious than that of total unemployment • it is necessary to take into account the temporal dynamics of youth unemployment and impact of the 2008-09 crisis • In modelling the processes of youth unemployment in Russia, it is necessary to consider the spatial correlation • There exists a difference between west and east Russian regions photo

  12. Traditional Spatial Model Where W is a weighted matrix (very often boundary matrix), ρ is spatial correlation coefficient, Usual methods of estimation: ML, Arellano-Bond (for panel data) photo

  18. Results of estimation (Arellano-Bond). Example photo

  19. Tested hypotheses. Example photo

  21. Econometric results photo

  22. Conclusions • There is more serious situation for youth unemployment with respect to the total unemployment rate, confirming our first hypothesis • It is necessary to take into account the temporal dynamics of youth unemployment and the greater impact of the 2008-09 crisistoyoung people, confirming our second hypothesis • The existence of the boundary spatial correlation for youth unemployment in Russian regions is clearly detected,which confirms our third hypothesis • The differences between “east and west” estimates of some variablesare statistically significant, that confirms our fourth hypothesis photo
