Components of city-size wage differentials, 1973-1988

Patricia E. Beeson and Erica Groshen

Economic Review, 1991, vol. 27, issue Q IV, 10-24

Abstract: An exploration of why workers in large cities are more highly paid than their rural counterparts. The authors decompose city-size wage differentials into the portion due to worker traits and the portion due to intercity differences in wage structures and find that differences in worker-attribute prices account for most of the disparity.
