SPATIAL MISMATCH AND NEIGHBOURHOOD EFFECTS: AN ECONOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF UNEMPLOYMENT-TO-WORK TRANSITIONS

Abstract. This work aims at analyzing how urban organization affects unemployment-to-work transitions by considering spatial indicators. We can capture two effects: “spatial mismatch ” and “neighbourhood effects”. We implement survival models on a sample obtained from the matching of three French databases. We analyze the duration of the first employment with spatial indicators and we control for three potential biases (endogeneity bias, selection bias and attrition bias)
