Abstract

Cet article présente une analyse des effets des fluctuations financières sur le nombre de travailleurs frontaliers en Suisse et au Luxembourg. Des tests de causalité (dans le do-maine fréquentiel et non-linéaire) sont effectués à partir de cinq variables : le nombre de travailleurs frontaliers, le nombre de travailleurs résidents, des indices boursiers, la va-leur ajoutée du secteur financier et la valeur ajoutée totale. Les résultats montrent que, dans les deux pays, les travailleurs frontaliers présentent une évolution plus volatile et sont plus fortement et plus rapidement impactés par “l’instabilité financière” et les fluc-tuations que les travailleurs résidents. Ces résultats peuvent s’expliquer par le poids du secteur financier dans ces deux économies, la segmentation du marché du travail et les interrelations entre la sphère financière et l’économie réelle.
