Manufacturing employment, city size, and inter-urban wage differentials
Abstract The positive correlation between city size and money wage rates has been an important factor in the spatial redistribution of population in the United States. Previous studies of inter-urban wage differentials have emphasized labor productivity differences (arising from sex, age, racial, and educational characteristics) and variations in labor demand associated with factor proportions, scale of firm, and industry mix. The analysis presented here expands this research base by articulating a theoretical model of the labor demand-supply relationships which incorporates (1) the implied predictive assumptions underlying regression studies of the relation between wage rates and city size and (2) the conflicting locational forces of local demand for products and/or labor and the competitive disadvantage of distance from intermediate or final markets for output. Statistical estimation and testing of the important relationships implied by the model confirm the significance of its principal variables.
