Abstract: We compare the distributions of wages and worker skills for the Greater Paris region to the rest of France. Wages are 24% higher in Greater Paris relative to the rest of the country. Greater skills of Parisian workers account for about a quarter of this difference while the greater productivity of the capital region accounts for the rest. We also show that wage disparities are higher within the Greater Paris region. This reflects mainly a greater dispersion of skills among Parisian workers than in the rest of the country. In turn, little of this greater dispersion of skills appears to be caused by worker mobility. The differences between the Greater Paris region and the rest of the country are also found, albeit to a lesser extent, when comparing Central Paris and its first ring of suburbs to the rest of the Greater Paris region.
