Resumen

The Spanish wage curve: 1994-1996, Reg. Studies 37, 929-945. In this paper, we estimate a wage curve for Spain using data from the European Community Household Panel, which provides microinformation for the period 1994-96. By refining the unemployment rate measure, we find an unemployment elasticity of wages not very far from that encountered in other developed countries. We argue that these results correspond to a disequilibrium representation of the regional unemployment structure, in which unemployment differentials tend to persist over time.
