Abstract: This paper considers a simple relationship between male earnings and unemployment and analyzes British data collected at the county level over the period 1976-92. The estimates of a dynamic model on a balanced panel of county data suggest that the elasticity of earnings with respect to unemployment is of the order of -0 to 1, with some variation being evident between manual and nonmanual men. A binary contiguity matrix is used to model spillover effects between counties and both earnings and unemployment spillover effects are significant. Copyright 1994 by Scottish Economic Society.
