Resumen:
This paper analyses Argentinean regional labor markets for the period 1997-2013. It tests regional wage convergence and wage flexibility based on semiparametric estimation techniques. Evidence on wage convergence among Argentinean provinces is found. Wages do not seem to be flexible, depending mainly on the evolution of the average national wage while having small response to changes in local productivity or unemployment. Unions could to be responsible for this process.
