A primer on the 35-hour in France, 1997 - 2007
Askenazy, Philippe - 2008
France has experienced massive changes in its regulation of working time during the last decade. These changes generate natural experiments that may help to study a variety of issues in labor economics, including work sharing effect on job creation or productivity, labor relations or adaptation...

Short-time work benefits revisited: Some lessons from the Great Recession
Boeri, Tito; Brücker, Herbert - 2011
The Great Recession triggered a resurgence of short-time work (STW) throughout the OECD. Several countries introduced from scratch STW or significantly expanded the scope of the programmes already in place. In some countries like Italy, Japan and Germany between 2.5 and 5 per cent of the...

Back to the future: Decomposition analysis of distributive policies using behavioural simulations
Bargain, Olivier - 2010
For policy makers and analysts, it is important to isolate the redistributive impact of tax-benefit policy changes from changes in the environment in which policies operate. When actual reforms are motivated by work incentives, it is also crucial to evaluate behavioural responses and the...

Equilibrium simulation with microeconometric models: A new procedure with an application to income support policies

The simulation is usually interpreted … simulation procedure, however, typically keeps fixed the estimated alternative-specific constants. In this note we argue that …-specific constants leads to the development of a simulation procedure consistent with the comparative statics interpretation. The …

Simulating the economic impacts of living wage mandates using new public and administrative data: Evidence for New York City
Neumark, David; Thompson, Matthew; Brindisi, Francesco; … - 2012
Policy researchers often have to estimate the future effect of imposing a policy in a particular location. There is often evidence on the effects of similar policies in other jurisdictions, but no information on the effects of the policy in the jurisdiction in question. And the policy may have...

A Simulation of an Income Contingent Tuition Scheme in a Transition Economy
Vodopivec, Milan - 2004
The paper takes advantage of exceptionally rich longitudinal data on the universe of labor force participants in Slovenia and simulates the working of an income contingent loan scheme to partly recover tuition costs. The simulations show that under the base variant (where the target cost...

Simulation and Estimation of Hedonic Models
Heckman, James Joseph; Matzkin, Rosa Liliana; Nesheim, Lars - 2003
Making use of restrictions imposed by equilibrium, theoretical progress has been made on the nonparametric and semiparametric estimation and identification of scalar additive hedonic models (Ekeland, Heckman, and Nesheim, 2002) and scalar nonadditive hedonic models (Heckman, Matzkin, and...

Dynamics of Labour and Capital Adjustment : A Comparison of Germany and the Netherlands
Polder, Michael; Verick, Sher - 2004
In this paper we investigate the dynamic adjustment of labour and capital in German and Dutch firms. The Dutch labour market is characterised by greater flexibility in wages and work arrangements in comparison to Germany. These institutional differences imply that employment dynamics in the two...
