Abstract EN:
The aim of this thesis is to make the connection between the labor market and spatial analysis, and more precisely between the efficiency wage theory and the new urban economics. For that, the thesis develops in the first part two theoretical models of the efficiency wage hypothesis within a regional context. From different hypothesis, the two models show, at the equilibrium, how the boundary of the city is endogenously determinated and why urban unemployed workers do not change their locations to obtain better chances of acquiring jobs. The second part of the thesis is concerned with the empirical analysis based on a panel of plants located in "picardie" region of france. Usual statistics, data analysis and especially panel econometrics show the relevance of the models but also their limits.
Abstract FR:
Constatant le peu de tentatives theoriques d'integration de l'espace sur le marche du travail, la these propose deux modeles spatiaux du marche du travail, combinant la theorie du salaire d'efficience et celle de la nouvelle economie urbaine. A partir d'hypotheses differentes, les deux modeles permettent de determiner a l'equilibre le chomage urbain, la difference de salaire en ville et en zone rurale, et la limite endogene de la ville. Ces deux modeles font ensuite l'objet d'une analyse empirique. Statistique descriptive, analyse des donnees et surtout econometrie de panel permettent de montrer la pertinence de ces modeles mais aussi leurs limites.
