 nce\n\n(joint with Eric Mengus and Tomasz Michalski)\n\nAbstract:\n	Labor m
 arket polarization is one of the most important features in recent decades
  of advanced country labor markets. Yet key spatial aspects of this phenom
 enon remain under- explored. Is the polarization present in both small and
  large cities? Do middle-paid jobs de- cline most sharply in cities where 
 those jobs were initially most present? How do observations on polarizatio
 n concord with facts stressed in the literature on the great urban diverge
 nce? Are large and small cities losing the same types of middle-paid jobs?
  We develop four key facts addressing these questions for the case of Fran
 ce 1994-2015. We argue that no leading existing theory accounts well for t
 hese facts. We then develop a parsimonious theory that builds on existing 
 models of routinization and offshoring\, as well as of heterogeneous labor
  in a spatial equilibrium of cities. To these we add a structured approach
  to how the interaction of skill and technology differs across sectors\, o
 wing to individual- and city-level comparative advantage. The resulting th
 eory does account for our four key facts.\n
