Abstract | "I identify the role of urbanization in the development of wage inequality in Germany between 1985 and 2009. Urbanization contributes about 30 percent to the growth of overall wage inequality. To understand the underlying channels of this location-inequality premium, I construct counterfactuals that simulate the evolution of wage distributions with (i) a constant (as of 1985) spatial distribution of skills or (ii) an equal change in the relative remuneration for skills across locations of different population densities. The largest part of the location-inequality premium is due to an increasingly unequal pay of workers with an initially high within-group inequality in larger cities compared to smaller cities. An increased sorting of employees on the basis of their observable skills did not contribute to the increase in wage inequality. Up to half of the location-inequality premium is due to the occupational structure or job task content, about 30 percent is due to firm size, and about 25 percent is due to the industrial structure."
