Les modes de communication et leurs combinaisons. Quand l'espace compte toujours

Abstract: In this paper we use the c.o.i. survey and the « Techniques et Organisation du Travail » (1987, 1993) surveys to document workplace communication patterns in urban, suburban and rural areas. Workers in large cities communicate more than workers in small cities and then more in small cities relative to rural areas. However, there are no clear spatial differences when it comes to face-to-face communication. The assertions prevailing in the literature about the greater prevalence of face-to-face in cities do not receive much empirical validation. We also investigate complementarities across different media of communication using a variety of methodologies (measures of correlations between different media and production functions of communication). Complementarities across media do not lend much support to popular predictions about the forthcoming demise of cities. Classification JEL : R19, R39, Z13
