Abstract: The structure of regional wage patterns over time is examined in the context of long-run equilibrium nominal wage differentials. Changes in regional demand for labor and the resulting short-run wage variation are analyzed in the context of the expected duration of the demand change. Cross sections of time series data on wages in selected manufacturing industries are utilized to control for systematic spatial differences in wage behavior and year-specific business cycle influences. Empirical results indicate important variations in wage patterns as a result of differences in the expected duration of labor demand and supply changes. The findings also suggest that migration has an important effect on regional wage patterns.
