Abstract:
|
This paper examines the impact of local human capital on individuals’
wages through external effects. Employing wage regressions, it is found that changes
in individuals’ wages are positively associated with changes in the shares of high-paid
occupation workers in the British travel-to-work-areas for the late 1990s. I examine
this positive association for different occupational groups (defined by pay) in order to
disentangle between production function and consumer demand driven theoretical
explanations. The wage effect is found to be stronger and significant for the bottom-paid
occupational quintile compared to the middle-paid ones, and using also sectoral
controls the paper argues to provide evidence for the existence of consumer demand
effects. |
