Abstract
This paper uses a large data base to study metropolitan labor demand functions. The data are disaggregated by two‐digit SICs in manufacturing for SMS As, and are corrected for changing SMSA boundaries. Labor demand elasticities are estimated for factor and commodity prices, transportation costs, state and local taxes and expenditures, and production‐function shifters. Estimates from different years allow one to test Le Chatelier's principle in the context of interregional change.Keywords
