Abstract

This article confronts the evolution of the wages with the socioeconomic development of France in the 19th and 20th centuries. We seek to detect the shocks which have affected the growth of the real wages for two centuries, in order to propose a new temporal cutting of our investigation period into various under periods. The analysis of the outliers highlights two major events: the 2nd Republic and the crisis of 1921. The causality tests between wages, prices and unemployment make it possible to compare our results to the datings proposed by Marchand and Thélot and those provided by Boyer.
