Abstract:
"This paper examines the effects of regional wage differentials on the development of employment in eastern Germany. For this, a model concept is briefly developed which is aimed at different market constellations of individual branches of the economy. The empirical approach used is a shift-share regression, which makes it possible to relate regional wage differentials to the development of individual branches of the economy. With the data of the employment statistics, contrasting effects of the regional wage level are indeed found. The influences of the regional wage development are also tested which, are more uniform however." (author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))
