Preface
This publication presents a new regional classification (standard) for the levelbetween county and municipality. The main purpose of the new classificationis to constitute an appropriate level for the publishing of statistics, but itshould also correspond to the NUTS 4 - level in EU’s regional classification. Asa consequence of the latter requirement, the regions should not overlap thecounty borders. NUTS (Nomenclature des Unités Territoriales Statistiques) isEU’s standard regional classification. The basis of our work has been thestandard classifications of Trade fields and Forecast regions. The regions ofthe new classification are called Economic regions because the criteria usedfor defining the regions (e.g. labour market and trade) are related to theeconomic conditions in the area. Norway has been divided into 90 economicregions. The new classification corresponds to level 4 in Statistic Norway'sregional classification (REGIN). REGIN 1 consists of the whole country, REGIN2 of the regions ("landsdel" in Norwegian), REGIN 3 of the counties andREGIN 5 of the municipalities.
The classification has been circulated for comments both inside StatisticsNorway and among relevant institutions outside Statistics Norway. StatisticsNorway is grateful for the comments received.
The classification was originally published in the series Rapporter (Rapporter99/6). The purpose was to test if use of the classification would reveal anyneeds for changes. The classification has now been used for more than a yearwithout the occurrence of such needs, and the final version is thereforepublished in the series NOS (Official Statistics of Norway).
The development of the new classification has been executed by a groupwith representatives from different subject matter areas. The members havebeen Henning Hartvedt (Division for Population and Education Statistics), ErikNymoen (Division for Social and Demographic Research), Margareta Stålnacke(Division for Statistical Methods and Standards), Harald Utne (Division forPopulation and Housing Census) and Anne Gro Hustoft (Division forStatistical Methods and Standards). Anne Gro Hustoft has been the projectmanager, and has also prepared the publication. The Responsible Head ofDivision is Elisabetta Vassenden (Division for Population and EducationStatistics).

1. The background for andpurpose of theclassification
Through Statistics Norway’s work in documentingregional classifications (the work is published in NOS C513��a need was revealed for revising the classificationof Trade fields. Except for adjustments related tochanges in municipal borders and the number ofmunicipalities, this classification has not been revisedsince 1966. In the more than 30 years that have passedsince that revision, major changes have occurred in thedevelopment of communications and centres, and anew revision was necessary in order to study how theclassification reflected the current reality.
It is natural to look at the revision of Trade fields inconnection with the classification of Forecast regions.Those two classifications represent the same regionallevel (the level between municipality and county), andhave many common classification criteria. Thus, theForecast regions will also constitute a part of the basisfor the new classification.
A further argument for revision and/or co-ordinationof the classifications of Trade fields and Forecastregions is that the new intermediate level can consti-tute Statistics Norway's proposal for a NUTS 4-analogous 1 classification that can be used in thereporting of regional data to Eurostat. County andmunicipality constitute Statistics Norway's NUTS 3-and NUTS 5- analogous levels. NUTS (Nomenclaturedes Unités Territoriales Statistiques) is EU’s standardfor regional classification.
The new classification is called the classification ofEconomic regions because the criteria that have beenused to define the regions (e.g. labour market andtrade), are related to the economic conditions in thearea. The economic regions constitute the regionallevel between country and municipality. The classifi-cation was first published in Rapporter 99/6 in orderto test it in practice before the final version now ispublished in the series NOS.
1 We use the term NUTS-analogous because Statistics Norway is not
allowed to call its classification NUTS because Norway is not amember of the EU. The proposed classification will correspond tothe regional level that the EU has defined as its NUTS 4-classification.
2. The need for a reportinglevel between countyand municipality
The point of departure for the new classification is twoexisting classifications in Statistics Norway, namely ofTrade fields and Forecast regions. The aim has been tocome up with a new regional classification that willprovide a reporting level between county andmunicipality.
The classifications of Trade fields and Forecast regionsare not among the most used at Statistics Norway, butit is thought nonetheless that there is a general needfor the reporting level that they represent. That isbecause it will be appropriate in many statistics to haveareas that are larger (e.g. to ensure confidentiality)and more stable (e.g. as regards the labour market)than municipalities. Because there are several divisionsin Statistics Norway that need a classification level ofthis sort, it is important that a common standard isestablished for this purpose.
In establishing the new classification, its relation toEurostat’s NUTS classification is another importantconsideration for Statistics Norway. Norway is notrequired to report to Eurostat at the regional level, butStatistics Norway wants to take part in this reporting,and the NUTS 4 level is the only NUTS level for whichNorway does not have an analogous level. This then isanother reason why it will be useful to define areporting level between county and municipality. Inorder to meet the requirements for a NUTS 4-analogousclassification, the regions must consist of whole,undivided municipalities, and the regions must notoverlap any county borders.
3. Level of ambition andclassification criteria
At the outset the project group that worked on theclassification was given the task of evaluating differentalternatives for a regional classification. The mostambitious alternative was the establishment offunctional regions based on trade and service and/orlabour market conditions. However, this would havebecome an extremely resource intensive alternativebecause there is not really any existing informationabout where a given population buys its goods orpurchases its services. Data of that kind is necessary inorder to define functional regions related to trade, andin that case the project would have had to break newground in the area of data collection. The projectgroup concluded that the expected amount of use ofthe classification did not justify the large expenditureof resources that this alternative required, and the

project’s steering committee agreed. It also seemedlikely that these functional regions would overlap thecounty borders, so that they would not meet therequirements for a NUTS 4-analogous classificationeither.
In accordance with the project group’s recommen-dation, the steering committee backed an alternativethat would not give a real and/or ideal representationof any phenomenon (trade, labour market, etc.), butthat would constitute an appropriate level of presen-tation. The survey of the existing information in thisarea, showed that the best existing data on theinteraction between municipalities are commutingtables. These tables show the municipalities wherepeople live and likewise the municipalities where theywork. This gives a picture of which municipalities areattracting manpower and which ones are relinquishingmanpower. Since this is the only relevant interactiondata available, the classification is based to a greatextent on which municipalities should be groupedtogether from a labour market perspective.
In addition, these figures can be supplemented withsales data.
The number of inhabitants in the municipality’s biggesturban settlement may also be used as an indicator of amunicipality’s importance as a centre, but this has beenthe least decisive of the criteria.
When it comes to determining which region eachindividual municipality belongs to, we have includednewspaper area2 and pattern of internal migrationwhen the above-mentioned criteria have not beensufficient to determine the region in which a munici-pality should be placed. Local knowledge has beenused in the cases where none of the formal criteriahave been sufficient to determine where a municipalitybelongs (e.g. because people by and large do notcommute and/or move out of the municipality, orbecause they commute and/or move about equally totwo different regions). The project group has thereforemade use of the team’s own geographical expertise andcontacted relevant municipalities and counties.
4. HearingsThe classification was first circulated for commentsinside Statistics Norway and then sent out (in the formof Notater 98/62) for comments from the counties andother relevant institutions outside Statistics Norway.Statistics Norway would like to thank all those whooffered useful comments.
2 Which newspapers are read in which municipalities.
In the hearings we have received considerable feed-back about desired changes, from simple reclassifica-tions of municipalities to the establishment of newcentres and hence new regions. Although StatisticsNorway would like to comply with wishes from thecounties and other interested parties and give theclassifications that they regard as appropriate based ontheir history, economic activity, political collaboration,etc., the project group has chosen to keep the proposedregions when the placement is clear on the basis of ourclassification criteria. In other cases, the commentshave been taken into account. If, for example, weshould let the counties’ classifications, based ondifferent criteria and calculated on the basis of meetingdifferent needs, be decisive, the new regionalclassification would be inconsistent. For example, somecounties have gone in for a classification byhomogenous regions (e.g. coastal municipalities versusinterior municipalities), whereas others haveemphasised political collaboration or historical factors.Statistics Norway is aware that our classification is notcompletely consistent either, simply because youcannot avoid some estimation in a situation where theformal criteria at our disposal are not sufficient todetermine which region each of the country’smunicipalities should be placed in. The classification,however, is based as far as possible on the formalcriteria that have been documented in the report.
In this context, it is also important to emphasise thatthe classification is not an administrative classification;it is only meant for the publication of statistics. Munici-palities and/or counties can still order statistics accor-ding to other classifications from Statistics Norway,and all relevant Statistics Norway data will be pub-lished as before at the municipal level. Thus, everyonecan aggregate data from individual municipalities towhatever areas they may desire.
There have also been comments that it is unfavourablethat the economic regions are not allowed to overlapthe county borders. The project group is aware that insome cases this will result in ”artificial” regions sincesome municipalities clearly have their centre munici-pality in another county. The requirement that thecounty border should not be overlapped is, however, anecessary constraint for the classification as long as itis to be a parallel classification to Eurostat’s NUTS 4-classification.
There have been some comments on the names givento the regions. In this case the project group haschosen to adhere to the main principle of naming theregions after the biggest urban settlement, i.e. thecentre (or perhaps two equally important urban areasand/or centres). In regions where there is not anydominant centre, however, we have based our choiceof name on a traditional area name (e.g. Hadeland).Some counties have wanted to replace an urban

settlement name with a traditional area name, but inmany cases the project group has decided not to do so.There are cases where a change of name of this sortcan give rise to confusion since our regions do notinclude exactly the same municipalities as those thatare traditionally regarded as coming under this areaname.
5. Principles for theselection of centremunicipalities andclassification in regions
It was found that the most appropriate point of depar-ture for the regional classification was to identify thecentre municipalities, and to assign the other munici-palities to them. A general criterion for a centremunicipality was that it should have an independenturban settlement of a certain size. It is difficult to givean absolute magnitude to certain size because an urbansettlement of, say, 2 000 inhabitants will be relativelysmall in some parts of the country and large in others.We must therefore consider size in relation tosurrounding areas. In addition, a centre municipalitymust be surrounded by a commuting area (i.e. thatemployees in other municipalities go there in sizeablenumbers in order to work).
The project group has based its work on identifyingcentre municipalities on the centres in the currentForecast regions and Trade districts3, and thus on theForecast regions’ and/or Trade districts’ underlyingconditions pertaining to the labour market and trade.The group’s most important information about thecurrent interaction among municipalities is derivedfrom commuting tables, a type of table that is notpublished as official statistics. The data that arepublished on employees by workplace (final figures)contain a number of corrections at the company level,which Statistics Norway is unable to make at theindividual level. The commuting data must thereforebe based on uncorrected data. The extent of thecorrections at the workplace are relatively small, butthey may be significant for the municipalities wherethey apply. The commuting tables can be ordered bypersons who wish to use them and are then referred toas "provisional figures from Statistics Norway."
For certain groups of employees, it can be difficult todetermine actual commuting. This applies, forexample, to employees who do not have a fixedworkplace (especially persons in the constructionbusiness and the transport sector). These employeeswill be registered at the workplace where they are

classified administratively. Thus, the figures forcommuting to major urban settlements will tend to betoo high. For employees in the Norwegian ArmedForces, there is no information about workplace. Forseamen in ocean transport the only specified informa-tion is the shipping company’s address. These twogroups are thus always classified as "non-commuters".
It is evident that there is some uncertainty in connec-tion with the commuting tables. However, in additionto the internal migration data, these are the onlyavailable data that tell us anything about the crossingof municipal borders (tables that specify in whichmunicipalities the employees residing in municipality Awork), and we have used tables from both 1996 and1997 to avoid the possibility that random errors and/orvariations in one year should be given too much impor-tance. The commuting tables indicate the attractionthat the individual municipalities have through avail-able workplaces. Most centre municipalities will have anet in-commuting, but some, in the vicinity of one ormore larger centres (e.g. "the magnet" of Oslo), canhave a net out-commuting.
Unfortunately we do not have any data that tell wherepeople make their purchases. Wholesale and RetailTrade Statistics give data for sales per municipality, butthey do not specify whether it is the municipality’s owninhabitants or people from other municipalities whoare making the purchases. Nevertheless, the turnoverper inhabitant gives useful information about whichmunicipalities are the most important trading centres.In order to identify the trading centres, we have usedfigures from Wholesale and Retail Trade Statistics in1997 (retail trade, including motor vehicles andpetrol).
As previously mentioned, it is difficult to use popula-tion data as a criterion for centres since the sizerequirement will vary from region to region. We havenonetheless looked at the population data in themunicipality’s largest urban settlement in order to seewhether that can be decisive in some cases. The urbandata that have been used are gathered from unpub-lished urban settlement tables as per 1 January 1997.
This leaves us with the following basis for selectingcentres, ranked by the importance that is assigned toeach factor:
1. Commuting data (labour market)2. Wholesale and Retail Trade Statistics3. Population data in the biggest urban settlements
In addition, discretion is also used in some cases on thebasis of other knowledge about the municipalities.
A survey of the centre municipalities in each countywas made in Rapporter 99/6. We refer the reader tothis report for more detailed information (e.g. varioustables) pertaining to the identification of the centremunicipalities.

Our procedure in the regional classification has been toassign a municipality to the centre municipality and/orarea to which it has the greatest in-commuting, basedon the data from the counties’ commuting tables. Insome cases a municipality (A) has little or no commu-ting to a centre municipality, so that it is difficult toassign it directly to that centre municipality and/orarea. In such cases, we have identified the munici-palities to which the employees in municipality Acommute, and placed A in the same region as themunicipality or municipalities to which it has thegreatest in-commuting. In the cases where amunicipality has roughly equal in-commuting to twodifferent centre municipalities, we have looked at themunicipalities that have already been assigned to thecentre municipalities (the region), and evaluated towhich region the municipality has the greatest in-commuting. If this is still not sufficient to determinethe region in which the municipality belongs, we havelooked at migration matrices from 1997 (tables thatshow to which municipality the inhabitants ofmunicipality A have moved and from whichmunicipalities the inhabitants of municipality A havecome during the year). These tables are published inRS 7/98 (RS stands for the Regional Statistics series).The newspaper area, i.e. which newspapers are read inwhich municipalities (The Newspaper Catalogue for1998) has also been used in the evaluation of doubtfulcases.
A special case is the municipalities, which would beassigned on the basis of our criteria to a functionalregion in another county, e.g. the municipalities inAkershus that have the greatest in-commuting to Oslo.These cannot be placed where they "actually" belongbecause a NUTS 4-analogous classification does notallow any overlapping of county borders. In these caseswe have looked at the commuting to neighbouringmunicipalities. If the "county-overlapping" munici-palities have a certain amount of commuting or someother kind of connection to a centre in their owncounty, they have been placed in that region. Ifaccording to our criteria, the municipality does nothave any connection to municipalities in its owncounty, the project group has chosen to let thatmunicipality constitute a separate region, even thoughsome of these "remaining regions" do not have anyclear centre. Our method of resolving this problem, islargely in accordance with the way it has been done inthe classification of Forecast regions and Tradedistricts.
One criterion for a centre municipality is that it shouldbe a sentre for a surrounding area. However, there willbe exceptions to this rule (e.g. Tinn): municipalitiesthat are relatively self-sufficient with respect to bothworkplaces and trade.
Another requirement of a region is that it must consistof a geographically continuous area.
In many cases, especially in Finnmark, but also in someinterior municipalities in Southern Norway, there islittle commuting across municipal boundaries, andhence the commuting table (and the other formalcriteria) give us little basis for placing themunicipalities in regions. In many of these cases wehave contacted local authorities to try to ascertain theregion in which the municipality belongs.
The project group has discussed whether criteriashould be established for regional size, but they havechosen not to do so. Various regional sizes will benatural in different parts of the country (depending,for example, on geographical conditions andpopulation size).
A special type of problem related to regional size, turnsup around the major urban settlements. Within thecounties there are centres at different levels. Forcertain functions the biggest urban settlements coverthe whole county (and sometimes more than that), e.g.with regard to special services in the public healthservice. Smaller urban settlements in the vicinity ofthese centres can nevertheless be dominant withintheir surrounding area for other functions (e.g. thegrocery trade).
Our main criterion for the classification has beencommuting. Using this criterion the biggest urbanareas will "capture" a large surrounding area. Smallerurban settlements in the vicinity will tend not to becounted as separate centres in our classificationbecause they have a large amount of in-commuting tothe regional centre. In those cases where smaller urbanareas of this type have actually been counted ascentres, they will have problems competing with thebiggest urban settlements when it comes tocommuting. Hence, they are unable to "capture" anysurrounding area outside of their own municipality.
It is possible that the interaction patterns would havelooked different if we had had an opportunity to useother criteria, e.g. trade or use of various services. Inthe task of assigning the municipalities to regions, wehave tried to take this type of problem into consider-ation, e.g. by evaluating whether commuting should beassigned less importance in the settlement around thebiggest urban settlement4 (corresponding to level 3 inthe Standard Classification for Municipalities).
4 The biggest urban settlements correspond to centres at level 3 (thehighest level of available services, high population) in the StandardClassification for Municipalities: Oslo, Kristiansand, Stavanger,Bergen, Trondheim and Tromsø.

A detailed survey of the regional classification for eachcounty is also found in Rapporter 99/6. The reader isreferred to this source for further information.
6. CodingThe new regions that are called economic regions,should be coded with a 4-digit, alphanumeric code.This entails that an “initial” zero, i.e. 0 in thebeginning of a code, should always be included. Thefirst two digits in the code are the county number,whereas the last two are a consecutive numberingwithin each county. This numbering should start at 91in order to avoid confusion with other regional codes.We let the centre municipality’s municipal numberdetermine the sequence of the numbering, i.e. that theregion whose centre has the lowest municipal numberis given the code XX91, etc. If we take Østfold as anexample, this means that the economic region Haldenis given code 0191, the economic region Moss is givencode 0192, etc.
7. The economic regionsIn this chapter the new classification of economicregions is presented. The classification consists of 90regions, and in addition to the region’s name, code andconstituent municipalities (or, in the case of Oslo,urban districts) the population in each region (on1 January 2000) is also included. When an economicregion is regarded as having a clear (or two equal)centre(s), the project group has named that regionafter the largest urban settlement in the centre munici-pality/municipalities. If there are two equal centres,the urban settlement with the highest population(within its own municipality) comes first. In regionswhere there is no clear centre, the project group hasnamed the economic region after an acceptedcollective term (e.g. Hallingdal) or after an individualmunicipality/municipalities when there is not anynatural collective term. When we have two equalmunicipalities with no clear centre (e.g. Sande andSvelvik), the municipality with the highest populationcomes first. The centre municipality/municipalitieshave been printed with boldface type in the municipalsurvey.
