Abstract

This chapter estimates the nominal wage equation of the geographical economics literature using data on the Galician regions over the period 2003-2013. The results of the estimations show the existence of a spatial wage structure across the Galician regions with a clear West-East gradient. Additionally, we have controlled for the inclusion of potential covariates that might be influencing the levels of regional per capita income such as educational attainment levels and technological levels. The results are robust to these alternative estimations
