Texas State University-San Marcos, San Marcos, Texas.https://hdl.handle.net/10877/4106This paper illustrates the use of log-linear indexes to estimate and test hypotheses about interregional differences in nominal wages and employment. A two-way analysis of variance is applied to cross sections of U. S. retailing and service categories in eight regions. The robustness of the estimated indexes is examined, and a test of consistent aggregation across sectors is proposed.Text15 pages1 file (.pdf)enindex numbersregional wagesregional employmentPaper
