Abstract
[Abstract]: This chapter discusses several controversial issues of the New Economic Geography (NEG) theory, focusing on some problems of interpretation regarding the estimation results of a wage equation. In order to do that, several wage equations found in the literature are encompassed under the derivation of a new generalized wage-type equation, with marginal cost as dependent variable. A testable equation controlling for human and physical capital stocks is also derived.
