abstract: 'It is assumed that there are two regions, that production requires both
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
skilled and unskilled labour, and that one region is innately more
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
productive than the other. Workers, who differ in their migration or
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
training costs? make individually rational decisions. In equilibrium the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
ratio of skilled workers to unskilled workers is always higher in the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
more productive region. Average incomes differ between regions because
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
regional differences in wage rates are reinforced by regional
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
differences in the structure of employment. The model is also used to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
analyse the effects of policies intended to equalize the distribution of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
income.'
