This paper analyses the spatial heterogeneity of labour demand. Our main assumption is that for each location there is a combination of factors which is the most efficient, given the endowment of the location in terms of technology access and the relative cost of factors. We estimate our model using a panel of more than 1000 industrial firms over a six-year period. The contribution of skilled labour is emphasised in the firms located in urban areas, unskilled labour in rural firms, and capital in periurban units. The functional distribution of jobs also plays a discriminating role: direct production and similar functions seem to be more concentrated in periurban and rural areas, whereas tertiary functions are clearly assigned to urban units. We then make conclusions as to the existence of different technical paths of growth, with high productivity growth and a dramatic decline of demand for unskilled labour in urban areas, and the maintenance of a labour-intensive method of production in rural areas.

ABSTRACT Destination planning raises questions relative to spatial organization within the destination and to the spatial extent of the gains generated by attractions. Thus, it is important to increase understanding and knowledge of the mechanisms by which attractions generate tourism development. The aim of this study is to analyze how tourist attractions influence tourism development within destination and what the spatial extent of this influence is. It is argued that both the appeal of tourist attractions and their spatial characteristics are determining factors. Thus, distinguishing local, spread, and diffuse attractions is essential and specific indicators were created to that purpose. Using count data models, an econometric analysis was conducted in order to test the effect of attractions on the number of hotel rooms in 2015 on the one hand, and on the number of employees in the tourism sector in 2014 on the other, in French municipalities. The study brings several original results. First, as in the case of green areas, some attractions may trigger the emergence of tourism development but may also have a depressive effect on the level of tourism development when they exceed a certain threshold. Second, the influence of sport and leisure facilities is more limited in space than for ski slopes, beaches and tourist sites, which confirms that the appeal of attractions determine the spatial extent of tourism development. Third, beyond a distance threshold, some attractions can generate negative spatial spillovers and have a depressive effect on tourism development.

Les auteurs s’attachent a decrire la situation actuelle de l’industrie rurale, relativement aux localisations urbaines et periurbaines, ainsi que leurs evolutions recentes. Ils commencent par rappeler les questions methodologiques de nomenclature, qu’elles soient relatives aux secteurs d’activite en identifiant la dimension « manufacturiere » stricte au sein de l’ensemble des activites de production ou relatives aux categories d’espaces dans lesquelles la caracteristique « rurale » devient difficile a discerner, qui conduisent a des precautions dans l’usage des statistiques et evite les commentaires a l’emporte piece. L’industrie rurale apparait relativement resistance dans un contexte general de chute des emplois, malgre des orientations sur des filieres traditionnelles, sensibles aux gains de productivite qui pesent sur les effectifs salaries. L’economie geographique explique les avantages a la dispersion, hors des agglomerations, et l’economie des territoires ouvre des pistes pour comprendre les differenciations internes aux espaces de faible densite, a partir de leurs ressources propres et organisations specifiques.
