THE EVOLUTION OF REGIONAL WAGE DIFFERENTIALS IN A TRANSITION ECONOMY: EVIDENCE FROM POLAND

Global Journal of Business Research, 2013, vol. 7, issue 5, 1-13

Abstract: This paper uses micro data from the Labor Force Surveys to examine regional wage differentials and their dynamics in Poland over 1994-2007. We find that controlling for observed worker characteristics reduces regional wage disparity by 30-50 percent, but remaining wage differentials persist and seem to intensify over time.
