- Neighborhood effects and employment outcomes: Empirical evidence from French priority neighborhoods Oana Calavrezo Florent Sari Estudios Territoriales R1 Neighborhood effects access to employment territorial discrimination propensity score matching JEL classification: J64 In this work, we analyze the effects of living in a French priority neighborhood on access to employment for young people leaving school in 2004. We also test the existence of "priority neighborhood label" effects as we consider that the "label" of a priority neighborhood may influence in a negative way employers' decision of recruiting young people. Firstly, we show that living in a priority neighborhood has negative effects for young people with regards to employment access and the quality of the employment found: residing in a priority neighborhood decreases by 10 percentage points the fact of being employed three years after leaving school. Also, we emphasize that living in priority neighborhoods increases the feeling of territorial discrimination for young people. Secondly, we show that having the "priority neighborhood label" may be a source for inhabitants of poor labor market outcomes. These results partially prove the existence of territorial discrimination. 2012 artículo científico 1697-6223 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=50424859001 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=504 Urban Public Economics Review application/pdf Universidade de Santiago de Compostela Urban Public Economics Review (España) Num.17
