This article examines the spatial distribution of jobs in the Paris Region. Going beyond the standard analysis often centered on economic sectors, it focuses instead on the functions achieved by the jobs. We rely on exploratory spatial data analysis (ESDA) and segregation indicators. We bring to...

In this paper, we study the spatial distribution of poverty in Paris (extended to its close suburbs) on the grounds of a spatialized capabilist well-being informational basis. Using multidimensional poverty indicators as well as global and local autocorrelation measures, we show that some...

This methodological paper shows that using different local job accessibility models (LJAs) leads to significantly different empirical appreciations of job accessibility. Matching several exhaustive micro data sources on the Paris region municipalities, the paper benchmarks a representative set...

In this paper, we study the spatial distribution of poverty in Paris (extended to its close suburbs) on the grounds of a spatialized capabilist well-being informational basis. Using multidimensional poverty indicators as well as global and local autocorrelation measures, we show that some...

Urban riots, such as in France in 2005, have drawn attention on the spatial determinants of social discontent. We provide evidence on the pervasive collective perception of a dramatic increase of the well-being disparities within the Paris Region during the decade preceding the 2005 riots. We...

This paper advocates, from a normative point of view, the use of multidimensional, capabilist-based urban indicators and shows that they can shed a new empirical light on socio-spatial differentiation in cities. First, the relevance is discussed of Amartya Sen’s capability approach when...

This paper focuses on local job accessibility measurement. We propose an original model that uses national exhaustive micro data and allows for i) a full estimation of job availability according to an extensive set of individual characteristics, ii) a full appraisal of job competition on the...
