Abstract
This paper investigates wage interactions between 3-digit manufacturing ind ustries. Spillover effects in wage equations are modelled using two variant s of 'contiguity matrices' defining 'adjacent' industries and a matrix of w orker movements between industries. Not only are industry spillover effects important for the wages of both manuals/non-manuals and skilled/unskilled workers taken separately, but significant spillover effects are also eviden t between these two pairs of occupational sub-groups.
