The Economic Geography of Most North-Western Region of Spain: Galicia and the Effect of Market Access on Regional Development Levels

Jesus Lopez-Rodriguez and Guillermo Manso-Fernández

A chapter in Management of Cities and Regions from IntechOpen

Abstract: This chapter estimates the nominal wage equation of the geographical economics literature using data on the Galician regions over the period 2003-2013. The results of the estimations show the existence of a spatial wage structure across the Galician regions with a clear West-East gradient. Additionally, we have controlled for the inclusion of potential covariates that might be influencing the levels of regional per capita income such as educational attainment levels and technological levels. The results are robust to these alternative estimations
