Abstract

This paper applies the Inclusive Growth framework to the OECD Regional Well-being Database in order to compute multidimensional living standards (MDLS) among OECD regions from the early 2000s to 2012. MDLS are based on the equivalent income approach, where, for different income groups, the monetised value of health status and unemployment are added to disposable income and aggregated with a generalised mean function to allow inequality to be taken into account. Results highlight that, due to the spatial concentration of good and bad outcomes, regional disparities are amplified when observed through the lens of MDLS as opposed to income-based regional disparities. The paper also shows that people living in metropolitan regions experienced, on average, higher levels of MDLS but also a sharper decline during the economic crisis. Growth of MDLS in metropolitan regions during this period was characterised by a higher contribution of life expectancy and a lower contribution of income inequality with respect to the other regions. Nous avons appliqué ici le cadre de l’OCDE pour une croissance inclusive à la base de données statistiques sur le bien-être régional afin d’obtenir une mesure multidimensionnelle du niveau de vie dans les différentes régions de la zone OCDE pour la période allant du début des années 2000 à 2012. Le niveau de vie multidimensionnel est calculé sur la base d’un revenu équivalent lui-même obtenu, pour différentes catégories de revenu, par l’ajout au revenu disponible d’une valeur monétisée de l’état de santé et de l’emploi agrégée selon la formule de la moyenne généralisée. Les résultats montrent que, du fait de la concentration géographique des meilleures performances, les disparités régionales sont amplifiées lorsqu’on les observe à travers le prisme du niveau de vie multidimensionnel et non plus sur la base du revenu monétaire. On note en outre que le niveau de vie multidimensionnel est en moyenne plus élevé dans les grandes régions métropolitaines, mais que ces régions métropolitaines ont aussi accusé une baisse relativement plus forte qu’ailleurs pendant la crise économique. Par rapport aux autres régions, l’espérance de vie a eu une incidence plus importante et les inégalités de revenu une incidence moins importante sur la progression des niveaux de vie multidimensionnels dans les grandes métropoles.
