英国经济在20世纪70年代经历的经济冲击使英国就业率的空间分布发生了重大变化。本文追溯了这些变化的长期影响，这表明他们是高度持久的，并在很大程度上塑造目前英国的地区差距。大多数在1970年代经历了巨大负面冲击的地方政府区在2015年的贫困率很高，它们占贫困率最高的所有地区的三分之二。我们的结论是，无论是经济调整进程还是政策措施，都未能扭转近半个世纪前发生的负面冲击的影响。
The economic shocks experienced by the UK economy in the 1970s brought major changes in the spatial distribution of employment rates in the UK. This paper traces out the long run implications of these changes, suggesting that they were highly persistent and to a large extent shape current UK regional disparities. Most of the Local Authority Districts that experienced large negative shocks in the 1970s have high deprivation rates in 2015, and they constitute two-thirds of all districts with the highest deprivation rates. We conclude that neither economic adjustment processes nor policy measures have acted to reverse the effect of negative shocks incurred nearly half a century ago.
