Regional Wage Differentials: Has the South Risen Again?: A Comment Review of Economics and Statistics 68,1 (February 1986): 175-178.

In contrast to the findings of Sahling and Smith (1983) that Southern real wages are greater than real wages of comparable workers in other regions, the Southern-non-Southern real wage ratio is estimated at 90 percent from a model with a selectivity bias correction. The Southern-non-Southern wage offer differential is more than twenty- two percent and consists of a 9.7 percent component due to different parameter estimates and a 12.7 portion due to different average characteristics. |
