we concentrate our research on the Paris region, called as Ile-de-France - a vibrant and innovative region with over 5,6 million jobs, 37 percent of French executives, and 40 percent of national workforce in research and development. 2.2 percent of the surface of France, 11.7 million, that is over 19 percent of the country’s population reside in this area. The GDP of the region amounts to 29 percent of total French GDP (IAU IdF, 2014).   The Paris region’s economy is spatially unbalanced (Combes et al., 2011).   The Grand Paris Project, up to 2030 and will cost around 32.4 billion euros.  The Grand Paris is a development project for the whole of the Paris metropolitan area. It is designed to improve residents' quality of life, address regional inequalities and build a sustainable city.  The Paris region is highly heterogeneous16, especially regarding economic activity. While few municipalities host a large number of new establishments, others struggle to be chosen by any, and a large group of municipalities is left with no new entries.   Liviano-Sol ́ıs and Arauzo-Carod (2014) based on the analysis of the Catalan data. The authors state that the distribution of entries is heavily skewed: a small group of municipalities meet the largest number of entries, while more than a half receive no entries at all. Municipalities range from small isolated villages in rural areas to huge and densely populated cities.
