Abstract

Cet article utilise différentes sources et méthodologies pour analyser l'évolution des inégalités spatiales de revenu entre départements depuis 1922. La contribution la plus notable est la reconstruction du revenu moyen par département avant et après impôt sur le revenu grâce à la collecte et la numérisation inédite d'archives du ministère des Finances. Nous observons les faits stylisés suivants: (i) une très forte baisse des inégalités interdépartementales de revenu fiscal par adulte sur un siècle, avec deux périodes de baisse continue : entre 1922 et 1939 et depuis 1948 ; (ii) l'impôt sur le revenu réduit significativement les inégalités interdépartementales mais son effet a fortement varié au cours de la période considérée ; (iii) depuis 1948, tous les départements se trouvant sous une ligne allant du Calvados au Gard ont vu leur situation relative s'améliorer.
