In this paper, we investigate how residential segregation and bad physical access to jobs contribute to urban unemployment in the Paris region. We first survey the general mechanisms according to which residential segregation and spatial mismatch can have adverse labour-market outcomes. We then...

There are large spatial disparities in unemployment durations across the 1,300 France). In order to characterize these imbalances, we estimate a proportional on an exhaustive dataset of all unemployment spells starting in the first recover a survival function for each municipality that is purged...

There are large spatial disparities in unemployment durations across the 1,300 municipalities in the Paris region (Ile-de-France). In order to characterize these imbalances, we estimate a proportional hazard model stratified by municipality on an exhaustive dataset of all unemployment spells...

We study the role of unemployment in the context of the endogeneous formation of a monocentric city in which firms set efficiency wages to deter shirking. We first show that, in equilibrium, the employed locate at the vicinity of the city-centre, the unemployed reside at the city-edge and firms...

Cet article regroupe une synthèse théorique de la littérature économique, des faits stylisés, et une étude empirique portant sur les déterminants locaux du chômage urbain en Ile-de-France. La synthèse montre que la déconnexion physique aux opportunités d’emploi et la ségrégation...

This paper investigates the causal effects of the spatial organization of Brussels on unemployment propensities. Using Census data at the individual level, we estimate the unemployment probability of young adults while taking into account personal, household and neighbourhood characteristics. We...

We study the role of unemployment in the context of endogenous formation of a monocentric city where firms set efficiency wages to deter shirking. We first show that in equilibrium the employed locate at the vicinity of the city-center, the unemployed reside at the city-edge and firms set up in...

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....

We propose a spatial search-matching model where both job creation and job destruction are endogenous. Workers are ex ante identical but not ex post since their job can be hit by a technological shock, which decreases their productivity. They reside in a city and commuting to the job center...
