In this study, the quantile regression framework is considered for the analysis of regional wage differences in Portugal. The findings reveal significant differences in wage equations coefficients between regions for the various quantiles
. Furthermore, it is concluded that the regional wage differentials and the components explained by differences in endowments and differences in returns increase across the whole wage distribution.
This paper estimates the contribution of covariates for the regional wage decomposition components along the wage distribution in Portugal. It finds that education, occupation, and firm size are the most important factors in explaining the growing
importance of the composition effect. The wage structure effect, in turn, is mainly determined by differences in reward for experience and tenure. Moreover, it concludes that the importance of these covariates for both effects is not equal along the wage
This article examines the geographical mobility and potential wage gain of immigrants within Spain. First, it studies the determinants of such a mobility and, second, analyses estimates of an individual's opportunity wage as a mover or a stayer
. Findings show that an expected wage gain exerts a positive influence on mobility and leads to a better allocation of resources.

This paper investigates one of the primary mechanisms through which migration affects individual region's wage distributions. It adopts a semiparametric procedure to examine how the regional wage distributions in Great Britain have changed
This paper investigates the role of the collective bargaining structure in the relationship between regional wage and productivity differentials. Using a Belgian-linked employer–employee dataset, it is found that the more an industry
is decentralized in terms of wage setting, the more regional differences in productivity are reflected in wages. It is concluded that the current Belgian wage-setting system already includes mechanisms that allow regional productivity to be taken into account.

Sectoral shares, specialisation and metropolitan wages in the United States, 1969-96

The AA. investigate the effect of specialisation upon the level of metropolitan wage per worker. Specialisation is measured by the share of metropolitan earnings in each of five traded goods and services sectors. Sectoral specialisations are assumed
shorter periods. Some specialisations raise average metropolitan wages, some lower it and some have no effect. The effects of specialisation differ by time-period.
