The aim of the paper is the identification of differences in employment structure (from the point of view of shape and scale), in dynamic perspective, in Warsaw and neighbouring districts. Shares of agriculture, industry, trade, financial services and other services in difference between Warsaw city and the following districts: legionowski, miński, otwocki, wołomiński, piaseczyński, pruszkowski and warszawski zachodni, have been evaluated. The analysis is based on data from the period of 2005-2014. Two statistical measures have been used: URij which enables to estimate the share of i-th element in dissimilarities of two structures with respect to size, and UKij with respect to shape. The results obtained make it possible to compare sectors in a district, or to compare districts for a given sector of economy. As far as the differences in the size of structure are concerned, Warsaw dominated, and the hierarchy of districts was very stable, except for piaseczyński district. In the analysis of the shape of employment structure we have found significantly higher shares of industry and agriculture in particular districts, as compared with Warsaw city. Changes in the influence of financial services appeared more random and were difficult to interpret. Our results advocate for separate consideration of size and shape while comparing structures.Downloads
