wages, which may be related to the effect of loosing industry-specific human capital.
With respect to job mobility (mobemp), it seems that there are some small gains (around
2.3%) from changing employment.
Finally, the effect of spatial mobility on wages seems to be positive and higher distances
have higher effects on wages (see variables mob1, mob2 and mob3).
The estimation considering the hourly wage as the dependent variable yielded very
similar results, reported in Table 15.

4. CONCLUSION
The main goal of this paper was to test whether a spatial relocation in addition to a job
change induces additional wage gains.
Determinants of job mobility and spatial mobility from labour economics and regional
economics were considered in the analysis. The empirical analysis for Portugal
confirmed results from theoretical models. Namely, younger, male, above average
