Abstract

There are large spatial disparities in unemployment durations across the 1,300 France). In order to characterize these imbalances, we estimate a proportional on an exhaustive dataset of all unemployment spells starting in the first recover a survival function for each municipality that is purged of individual only 30% of the disparities in the survival rates relate to observed individual disparities are captured by local indicators, mainly segregation indices.
