Abstract

This article studies the effect of residential segregation and spatial mismatch (physical distance from the worlplace) on unemployment. We begin with a brief summary of the economic literature on these issues. We then offer descriptive statistics to characterize the scope of residential segregation and spatial mismatch in the Paris region (Ile-de-France) using 1999 census data and inter-city travel-time matrices for 2000. We conclude by estimating the effect of the local context (segregation and spatial mismatch) onunemployment/employment transitions in the Paris region, using 1990-2002 Labor-force survey data. Our results show that unemployed persons in segregated districts have greater difficulty in finding new jobs.
