Marché du travail et économie urbaine. Essai d'intégration

  • Yves Zenou

Abstract

[eng] It seems natural to integrate space into labor economics. How can we study unemployment or wages knowing that they are unevenly distributed among regions ? The purpose of this paper is to explore the recent developments integra­ting labor economics and urban economics. Results are shown according to three different urban configurations : monocentric city, polycentric cities and endoge-neous formation of cities. [fre] Lorsqu'on s'intéresse à l'économie du travail, il paraît naturel d'intégrer l'espace. Comment peut-on envisager l'étude du chômage ou des salaires sans tenir compte des caractéristiques propres des régions ? L'objet de cet article est d'exposer les tentatives récentes d'intégration du marché du travail et de l'écono­mie urbaine. Les résultats seront exposés selon trois approches distinctes corres­pondant aux différentes configurations urbaines : ville monocentrique, ville polycentrique et formation endogène des villes.
