Abstract

Ce rapport de recherche évalue les primes salariales associées au fait de vivre dans une grande agglomération en France, à partir du panel des Déclarations Annuelles des Données Sociales (DADS). Les résultats montrent que doubler la densité d'une zone d'emploi permet d'y augmenter les salaires de 1% environ. Mais cette moyenne masque de fortes disparités entre catégories socio-professionnelles et secteurs d'activités : la prime est ainsi de près de 4% pour les cadres, ainsi que pour les salariés travaillant dans les activités culturelles et audiovisuelles, les activités de conseil et d'assistance ou les activités immobilières. Doubler la densité d'une zone engendre cependant aussi des économies d'agglomération dynamiques, en permettant à ses salariés d'accroître leur rémunération de 0,07% par année passée dans la zone (soit un bénéfice de 1,4% au bout de 20 ans). Ces effets d'apprentissage, bien qu'ils profitent ici encore surtout aux cadres et professions intellectuelles supérieures, bénéficient en revanche aussi dans une très large mesure aux employés et aux ouvriers, qui valorisent mieux l'expérience professionnelle acquise en dehors de leur zone d'emploi actuelle que, par exemple, les professions libérales.
