A bstract .M. Reynolds and M. Edwards , commenting on R. J. Cebula's study of geographic differences in living costs in states with Right‐to‐Work Laws , seek to extend his results and explore the relevance of alternative variables. Cebula, in reply, addresses the comment and re‐estimates the living cost impact of such laws, taking into account additional factors. Even after allowing for additional South/non‐South differences , Cebula reports, the original basic model is resilient.
