@book{2017:hoess:the_import, title = {The Importance of Governance in Regional Labour Market Monitoring for Evidence-based Policy-Making}, year = {2017}, note = {Information resulting from the monitoring of labour markets is an important source for evidence-based policy-making. However, local and regional labour market observatories often find it difficult to impart their information and knowledge to decision-makers so that it can be incorporated into the policy-making process. This anthology explores the mechanisms, which ensure the relevance of labour market information for policy-makers on the regional and local level. It presents cases of regional and local labour market observatories that have been successful in transferring their monitoring information into policy-making. In the descriptions of the cases, concepts from governance research are used to analyse how the successful connections between data provision and evidence-based policy-making are implemented.}, edition = {1}, publisher = {Hampp}, address = {Baden-Baden}, series = {}, volume = {}, editor = {Hoess, Heike and Nagel, Tilman and Schmid, Alfons and Rand, Sigrid and Larsen, Christa} }
