It has long been recognized that average wages vary strikingly across regions and urban areas, in part due to differences in local amenities and fiscal policies.

متن کاملEconomic Integration , Wage Policies and Social Policies
This paper sets up a two country monopolistic competition model with intra-industry trade to study the effects of an exogenous differential in wage and social policies on the location of industry.
