Do local amenities affect urban wage premium? Some evidence from the Greek case

Urban wage premium theories consider that salaries differentials according to city-size may be due either to productivity effects or to human capital effects. By following Gabriel and Rosenthal's model this paper aims to study whether other city-specific characteristics, mainly environmental and cultural amenities or public infrastructures play a role in the appearance of a wage premium. This model is applied on Greek urban cities data for 2004.
