In the present article, I provide a simple urban theory where agents do not bid for land. In absence of this baseline mechanism, I show that the spatial allocation of agents is governed by a Nash equilibrium. I underline the role of asymmetric local congestion effects in insuring the existence...

The goal of this paper is to specify the link between urban sprawl and labor market. To this fashion, I build a urban labor model with housing consumption, with a social planer problem and where spatial allocation of workers is directed by a Nash equilibrium In the context of a Potential game....

A large literature underlines the fact that city sizes are heterogeneous and urban sprawl is not optimal (i.e. cities are too large). Surprisingly, we do not have a clear understanding of these two facts in urban search economics (see Zenou (2009)). Indeed, this literature systematically...

In this paper, we shed light on the selection of the benefi ciaries from the French competitiveness cluster policy which was launched in 2005 and extended to 2012. We disentangle the selection and self-selection eff ects, as emphasized in the theoretical literature on regional and industrial...

Will employment instability be the employment pattern tomorrow? Many studies support this view which is first discussed on the basis of various statistical studies already carried out. A general trend of employment instability is not proved to be true by statistical data. These data show that...
