Résumé
The purpose of this paper is twofold: report on the method developed at the Institut de la statistique du Québec (ISQ) to estimate regional GDP; analyse the data to examine recent changes in the geographical distribution of economic activity in Quebec. The ISQ method for estimating regional GDP is a top-down one, allocating three components of value added by industry (GDP) among regions, using allocators constructed from fiscal data of the Quebec ministry of revenue. The method is applied to the 17 administrative regions and 6 metropolitan areas in Quebec, from 1997 onwards. The evolution of regional shares of population, GDP and personal income is examined from the core-periphery perspective, reorganizing the data to create analytical regions adequate for that purpose. For all three dimensions, the shares of regions traditionally considered as peripheral are falling. There is also a redistribution from non-metropolitan to metropolitan areas. Finally, there is movement out of Île de Montréal towards the rest of the metropolitan area and its outer ring. The analysis is extended to a shift-share decomposition of GDP growth, but the residual component of differential growth overweighs the structural component in most cases.
