The article aims to examine the impact of selected factors on wage differentiation. The research question is formulated as follows: "Do human capital efficiency and tangible fixed assets efficiency explain inter- sectoral and inter-industry differences in wages in Poland?" Verification of the...

Are there long-term labor consequences in migrating to the US during a recession? For most immigrants, credibly estimating this effect is difficult because of selective migration. Some immigrants may not move if economic conditions are not favorable. However, identification is possible for...
