Last but not least, in Model 4, we also incorporate three spatial effect variables and our empirical results show that the neighbor effect variable [WU1.sub.i,t] is significantly positive at the 1% confidence interval, while the spillover effect variable [WU2.sub.i,t] is significantly positive at the 5% confidence interval, which undoubtedly confirms that the spatial effects do exist in the Chinese regional labor market.
