"Job-Change-Wage-Premium, and Urban Size"
This paper analyzes the relationship between job changes, wage returns, and urban size. Changing jobs is one way that workers explore to achieve better wages, and we investigate whether the wage return is related to city size. Using RAIS data for the years 2010-2013 and exploring the fixed effects model, we found that the wage premium associated with job changes grows with the urban size. We found differences in returns between job changes motivated by layoffs, and those decided voluntarily by workers. These results are robust to the inclusion of fixed effects of individual, firm, and worker-firm matches and the correction via the Heckman procedure.

"The Regional Character of Global Value Chains: An Analysis for the European Union"
This paper analyzes the position and participation on EU regions on global value chains (GVC) and their spatial determinants making use of a multiregional and multisectoral input-output model. Regional characteristics, intersectoral and interregional linkages and geographical conditions of the regions are considered. Spatial econometric analysis is developed to explore the main determinants of position and participation and the influence of neighboring regions on these outcomes. Empirically, the focus is on a set of NUTS2 European regions for year 2010, the most recent year of the database EUREGIO. This table contains a disaggregation of 14 sectors for each European region and each non-European country. Our results show the significance of the spillovers of human capital, level of urbanization and level of specialization. Most importantly, they confirm the hypothesis of spatial dependence between regions in the production processes conditioning position and participation in GVC, which offers new insights to traditional GVC studies. Indeed, it suggests that global production processes cannot be understood independently of the regional and local economic processes.
