Using firm-level data from France, we document that the shift of economic activity from manufacturing to services over … manufacturing firms that increasingly locate in suburban and rural areas. Motivated by these findings, we estimate a structural … strengthened for services but weakened for manufacturing. This divergence is a key driver of the urban bias but it dampens …
