SOCIO-ECONOMIC DIMENSIONS IN LOCATIONS BY CLUSTERS IDENTIFIED FOR REGISTERED UNEMPLOYED PERSONS AT LAU2 /NUTS 5 LEVEL IN 2013 AND 2010

Identifying locations that are part of the LAU2 two types of clusters HH and LL which indicates similarities in the level of unemployment registered, with the same tendency level indicator in neighbourhood values is achieved by spatial statistical analysis method Local Indicators of Spatial Association LISA (Anselin 1995, 1996) and calculated in Geoda Software. Each location LAU2’s type (national, HH or LL) is profiled as calculated in SPSS by the statistical mean of characteristics relevant indicators to the labour market: The number of registered unemployed, number of employees, average population density / km2, average number of people entering the LAU2 following the change of domicile by reference environment and national levels in 2010 and 2013 in Romania. Data source is provided by National Institute of Statistic INS – TEMPO online database, socio-economic indicators detailed level LAU2 / NUTS 5, with a selection for 2010 and 2013. These research results have been achieved in the Project NUCLEU PN - 420 118: Spatial distribution of market indicators cohesion policy, made in 2014 and in the project DYNAHU

The regions development characterisation by diversity/variety of the firms - study case for Romania

In this paper we try to find empirical evidence regarding the region diversity by firm characteristics, using spatial data from Tempo (INS Romania database) at NUTS 1, 2 and 3 region level for the period 1997-2008. Using instruments of statistical analysis of spatial data (Anselin, Varga) we try to sketch the spatial pattern of firm agglomerations and values of main firm's characteristics (size class according to employee's number and economic activity by NACE Rev.1 sections). Starting point is represented by the discussion made by Saviotti(*) regarding the efficiency vs diversity/variety in economic development respectively development versus growth. The pattern variation of the regions "profile" by diversity/variety of the firms could offer an image for the structural transformation of economic development tendencies of it in the last decade.
