“…There is significant evidence that wage spillovers in general do occur, see, for example, Manning (1994). Moreover, Latreille and Manning (2000) evaluate inter‐industry and inter‐occupational impacts, again finding that wages elsewhere impact on wage determination.…”

This paper examines the extent to which foreign investment in the UK generates wage spillovers in the domestic sector of the economy using a simultaneous dynamic panel data model and focusing on the electronics sector, possibly the most ‘globalized’ sector of UK manufacturing. It finds evidence that the higher wages paid by foreign firms cause wages in the domestic sector to be bid up. This phenomenon is, however, largely confined to the region where foreign direct investment takes place.

“…Taking contiguity effects into account might therefore be helpful in the attempt to unravel that relationship, particularly as the employed dataset uses quite small spatial units. The study of contiguity effects might also be of interest, since there is a growing literature applying spatial econometric methods to labor market issues (e.g., Molho 1995; Manning 1994), but there are very few studies for the German labor market (e.g., Seitz 1995).…”

Abstract. Despite spatial rigidity of collectively negotiated wages the local unemployment rate is found to have a significant negative impact on wages. This impact is shown to be consistent with both the wage‐curve hypothesis and modern Phillips‐curve modelling. Spatial contiguity effects are found in wages and unemployment and their neglect leads to an underestimation of the effect of local unemployment. Yet, the impact of local unemployment on wages turns out to be quite low as compared to studies for other countries. Some support for the hypothesis that negotiated wages suppress spatial wage flexibility comes from the finding that the impact of local unemployment on local wages decreases with its extent.

“…The elements of S m W (m 1, 2, 3) may therefore be interpreted as weighted average wages outside industry i but in the same 1-digit division in the case of S 1 ; in the same 2-digit group for S 2 ; and in all industries (weighted by employment¯ows) for S 3 . 3 Conditional on S 1 À S 3 , spillovers between wages in industry i, W i , and in other industries, W j , may be modelled by adopting autoregressive structures used in spatial econometrics (Anselin, 1988;Manning, 1994a). Given the n-industry vector of wages W, a simple model of spillovers is:…”
