Neural networks for cross-sectional employment forecasts : a comparison of model specifications for Germany

Patuelli, Roberto ; Reggiani, Aura ; Nijkamp, Peter ; Schanne, Norbert

In this paper, we present a review of various computational experiments – and consequent results – concerning Neural Network (NN) models developed for regional employment forecasting. NNs are widely used in several fields because of their flexible specification structure. Their utilization in studying/predicting economic variables, such as employment or migration, is justified by the...
