Urban-Rural Wage Gaps, Inefficient Labour Allocations, and GDP per Capita
Using a newly compiled data set from household surveys from 92 developed and developing countries, we decompose observed urban-rural log wage gaps for each country into the portion explained by skill differences and the unexplained portion.

Exploiting cross–birth cohort and cross-country variation from a pool of 188 household surveys from 111 countries, this paper measures how life expectancy at birth affects lifetime education and earnings.

The estimates imply that rising life expectancy at…
