This article revisits the hypothesis to explain the labour market developments in France, the UK, and the USA in the 1990s. I estimate a labour supply and labour demand model with heterogeneous types of labour to analyse the effects of market forces and wage rigidity on changes in skill-group labour market outcomes. The results provide evidence in favor of the Krugman hypothesis when France is compared to the USA and the UK. I also find support for an extended version of the Krugman hypothesis, which suggests that when labour supply is sensitive to wages, there is a trade-off between unemployment on one hand and wage inequality and inactivity on the other.
