Abstract
The paper analyses the inter-industry wage differentials in the Israel i manufacturing sector in conjunction with differences in the degree o f competition in the various industries. Unlike some other studies (ca rried out with US data) that did not produce conclusive results, this study shows a clear-cut positive relationship between wages and the de gree of monopolization. This result is found both for unskilled and hi ghly skilled workers.
