However, there was no appropriate measurement to compare regional economies except Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP), which deals with the production side. This measure may not reflect individual behavior in choosing their location. Therefore, it is not an appropriate proxy for regional income level. On the other hand, wages, the cost of living, and amenities are the most important factor in choosing resident location according to the Roback model. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the wage level across regions. For that, city boundaries are supposed to be delineated in terms of economic geography, which is different according to administrative district in general. Since metropolitan areas are usually defined by commuting flow, Korean Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) delineated by Kim et al. (2008)1) has been used here to determine the economic spatial range of cities.
