This paper presents a retropolation of regional sectoral employment's data series since 1967 to 2006. They have been computed from various INSEE's data series distributed along various nomenclatures. We present a technique based on 1° the "classical" (econometric + RAS) method and 2° a matrix...

This paper presents the building of long run data series about the French employment by employment area (zone d'emploi) from 1989 to 2010. We have completed the data series expressed by INSEE from 1998 to 2007. In the paper we describe our methodology and we present the results. This work is...
