Using quarterly data over 1996-2017, we investigate the claim that border workers create unemployment among the local labour force, conducting both time-series analyses at the country-level and longitudinal analyses at the canton-level. Our findings indicate that causality runs mainly from unemployment to border workers, the latter being repelled when unemployment increases. The opposite effect, from border workers to unemployment appears to be weaker or even non-existent.<\/p>\n<h3>Keywords\u00a0:<\/h3>\n<p>cross-border workers, unemployment, Granger causality&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><span lang=\"en\" xml:lang=\"en\">Les travailleurs frontaliers causent-ils du ch\u00f4mage dans le pays d\u2019accueil? Une analyse empirique du cas suisse<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Le march\u00e9 suisse du travail accueille traditionnellement de nombreux frontaliers : ils sont actuellement plus de 300 000, soit pr\u00e8s de 7 % de la population active. L\u2019acceptation sociale de ces travailleurs s\u2019est toutefois d\u00e9t\u00e9rior\u00e9e au cours des derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es. En utilisant des donn\u00e9es trimestrielles sur la p\u00e9riode 1996-2017, nous \u00e9tudions l\u2019affirmation selon laquelle les travailleurs frontaliers cr\u00e9ent du ch\u00f4mage parmi la population locale, effectuant \u00e0 la fois des analyses de s\u00e9ries chronologiques au niveau national et des analyses longitudinales au niveau cantonal. Nos r\u00e9sultats indiquent que la causalit\u00e9 va principalement du ch\u00f4mage vers les travailleurs frontaliers, ces derniers \u00e9tant repouss\u00e9s lorsque le ch\u00f4mage augmente. L\u2019effet inverse, des travailleurs frontaliers vers le ch\u00f4mage, semble \u00eatre plus faible, voire inexistant.<\/p>\n<div class=\"index\">\n<h3>Mots-cl\u00e9s\u00a0:<\/h3>\n<p>travail frontalier, ch\u00f4mage, causalit\u00e9 au sens de Granger<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"index\"><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author(s) : Sylvain Weber, Giovanni Ferro Luzzi, Jos\u00e9 Ramirez Source&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_kadence_starter_templates_imported_post":false,"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[48,7,520,15,240,9,84,384],"class_list":["post-1964","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-economics","tag-48","tag-article","tag-cross-border-workers","tag-economic-impact","tag-employment","tag-english-language","tag-unemployment","tag-workers"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1964","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1964"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1964\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1964"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1964"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1964"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
