abstract: 'In this article, we use a new economic geography (NEG) model to estimate
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the extent to which the persistence in apartheid regional wage
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
disparities in South Africa is an outcome of economic forces such as
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
market access. We estimate a structural wage equation derived directly
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
from the NEG theory for 354 regions over the period 1996 to 2011. We
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
find support for an augmented NEG model in explaining regional wage
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
disparities across regions in South Africa, although the market access
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
effects are highly localised in view of high distance coefficients. We
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
also find, even after controlling for NEG and other region-specific
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
characteristics, a persistent wage deficit in the former homelands,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
where under apartheid black South Africans were forcefully relocated
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
according to their ethnic groups. Average wages of workers in homelands
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
remained approximately 17\% lower than predicted between 1996 and 2011,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
despite the reintegration of these regions into South Africa and the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
implementation of regional policies after the end of apartheid.'
