abstract = {Using Polish Labour Force Survey data, we examine whether competition for labour has
induced individual pay to depend on outside options, availability and quality of jobs.
Exploiting the lack of inter-regional job and worker flows we estimate the elasticity of
individual pay, amongst a rich set of individual characteristics, to be approximately -0.1 for
local unemployment (job shortages) and + 0.1 for local job reallocation (restructuring).
Variations in local labour market conditions explain approximately 50 per cent of the
differences in expected individual earnings across regions, while differences in inherited
human capital and occupation structures explain the rest.},
