Towards an East German wage curve : NUTS boundaries, labour market regions and unemployment spillovers

Kosfeld, Reinhold; Dreger, Christian - 2017

The relevance of spatial effects in the wage curve can be rationalized by the model of monopsonistic competition in regional labour markets. However, distortions in extracting the regional unemployment effects arise in standard regional (i.e. NUTS) classifications as they fail to adequately...
