| Abstract | This paper estimates the effects of agglomeration economies on the wages of industrial workers in Rio Grande do Sul. The techniques of Exploratory Analysis of Spatial Data have been used to locate the clusters of the state industry in 2000. This information was then added to census microdata in order to run wage regressions inspired by the empirical tests of the New Economic Geography models (Hanson, 1998, specially). The results were statistically and economically significant: even when controlled by demographic variables, the individual wages of industrial workers were higher in larger and more urbanized cities closer to the economic centre of the Rio Grande do Sul. This suggests how intense the economic forces that shape the spatial structure of the state are. |
