    This study estimates separate selectivity bias corrected wage equations for formal and informal workers in rural and urban Mexico using data from the Mexican Family Life Survey (MxFLS). We control for different potential selection patterns using Probit and Multinominal logit models in the first step in which health, personality traits and family characteristics serve as exclusion restrictions for working per se and working in the formal sector. Oaxaca-Blinder Decompositions show that rural-urban wage inequality in the formal and informal sector is determined by differences in observable human capital. In the informal sector, the wage differential is mainly explained by differences in returns to experience. Furthermore, we analyse rural-to-urban migrants' labour market performance. The findings suggest that rural-to-urban migration will continue and the informal sector will further increase. -- Returns to experience ; rural-urban wage differentials ; informality ; internal migration ; Mexico Diese Studie beschäftigt sich mit Lohnunterschieden zwischen ländlichen und städtischen Regionen in Mexiko. Anhand des mexikanischen Family Life Survey (MxFLS/ENNVIH) werden für formelle und informelle Arbeitnehmer Lohngleichungen geschätzt, die für potentielle Verzerrungen durch Selektionsprozesse kontrollieren. Anhand von Oaxaca-Blinder-Dekompositionen wird gezeigt, dass die Lohnungleichheit zwischen ländlichen und städtischen Arbeitnehmern im formellen sowie im informellen Sektor durch Unterschiede im Humankapital erklärt werden können. Zusätzlich lässt sich im informellen Sektor die Lohnungleichheit durch unterschiedliche Renditen für Arbeitserfahrung erklären. Darüber hinaus untersuchen wir den Arbeitsmarkterfolg von Land-Stadt-Migranten. Die Ergebnisse weisen darauf hin, dass die Land-Stadt-Migration in Zukunft andauern wird und der informelle Sektor in Mexikos Städten weiter ansteigen wird.

    This paper examines the Turkish wage curve using individual data from the Household Labor Force Survey (HLFS) including 26 NUTS-2 regions over the period 2005 - 2008. When the local unemployment rate is treated as predetermined, there is evidence in favor of the wage curve only for younger and female workers. However, if the lagged unemployment rate is used as an instrument for current unemployment rate, we find an unemployment elasticity of -0.099. We also find a higher elasticity for younger, less educated, low experienced workers than for older, more educated and more experienced workers. Another important finding is that the wages of females in Turkey are significantly more responsive to local unemployment rates than their male counterparts.
