This paper analyzes how the interaction of ethnicities and cultures impacts on productivity and employment on Greek local labor markets, within the 20‐year interval between 1991 and 2011. We compute two alternative proxies for cultural diversity, namely the fractionalization and the polarization index, using information on 118 countries of origin. We also account for the potential endogenous allocation of individuals across local labor markets by employing a “shift‐share” instrument, exploiting the fact that networks play an important role in the settlement patterns of recent migrants. Our identification strategy indicates that the contribution of diversity in terms of birthplace is positive, at least up to a certain point. This finding appears to be robust and not driven by the inclusion of further controls, outliers, spatial autocorrelation, and selection on unobservables. Interestingly, we find that ethnic heterogeneity helps employment and productivity by promoting sectoral diversity.

“…There is an interesting new literature addressing the spatial heterogeneity of the wage curve (Baltagi and Rokicki, ; Deller, ; Longhi et al ., ; Ramos et al ., ). This literature includes reports of spatial spillover effects between regions as a result of unemployment in neighbouring regions affecting wages in the studied regions.…”

Regional Wage Responsiveness to Unemployment — Rural–Urban Heterogeneity and Policy Implications

Previous studies of regional wage formation in Norway have indicated low regional wage responses to regional unemployment. However, previous analyses have not investigated whether wages are more rigid in rural areas than in urban areas, which in the case of Norway is important for the efficiency of regional differentiated payroll taxes. In the paper, the authors focus on the rural–urban nature of the wage curve in Norway. We re‐estimate the wage curve on the basis of a large Norwegian microlevel dataset covering the entire Norwegian labour market during the years 2008–13. Our findings are rural–urban heterogeneity in the wage curve, with higher unemployment elasticity of pay in the urban region than in the rural regions. The elasticity of the average rural wage curve is about 70 per cent that of the of the urban wage curve. The authors conclude that to achieve the goals of regional policy in Norway, more rigid wages in rural areas seem to be an argument for continuing to have an active labour market policy for rural regions.

“…In the case of wage differences, one of the most innovative works was that by Ramos, Nicodemo, and Sanromá (2015), based on panel data and focused on the spatial wage curve. Likewise, De la Roca and Puga (2017) proved the existence of significant wage premiums favouring large cities.…”

The aim of this paper is to show the development of regional and urban studies in Spain, pointing out the main factors that have influenced such development, the topics analysed by the Spanish researchers and why Spain has today a remarkable position in the field of regional science. Regional problems have always taken up a very important place among the concerns of the Spanish society. This has been closely linked to longstanding historical and internal political conflicts. But, leaving aside some very interesting contributions and territorial projects developed in the past, the research on regional issues emerged really in the 1960s and the consolidation phase took place from 1975 to 2000, as explained in Sections 2 and 3. From the beginning of this century the field has received a clear thrust, supported by a new generation of economists and geographers. The increasing presence of Spanish researchers in international congresses, workshops and specialized journals enable to state that Spain has reached a similar level as in more advanced countries. Section 4 collects the most outstanding topics and innovative contributions made from 2000 to now. A short final note (section 5) points out some final remarks and why a positive continuity of the progress observed can be expected.
