The purpose of this paper is to explain why low-wage workers with identical qualifications to higher-wage workers are more exposed to unemployment. Each worker is considered to belong to a social group (defined according to his/her gender, age, and nationality). We assume that workers experience...

We investigate the relative efficiency of an agreement based on a uniform standard without transfers and one based on differentiated standards with transfers when strictly identical countries deal with transboundary pollution. We especially ask what role fixed cost plays. Two approaches are...

In this paper, we analyze whether the development of a growing economy could be impeded if a binding climate agreement were signed at the international level. Specifically, we study, in the case of a developing country, the initial momentum for development in the presence of binding emission...

Contrairement à Stiglitz, nous montrons qu’un équilibre inégalitaire de long terme peut apparaître dans le cadre du modèle de Solow, en supposant une fonction de consommation linéaire. Nous interprétons ce résultat en relation avec l’économie marxiste, en montrant que ce cadre...

Unlike Stiglitz, we show that an inegalitarian long run equilibrium can emerge in a Solow growth model framework, assuming a linear consumption function. We then interpret this result in line with Marxian economics, showing that this dynamic framework is consistent with Roemer's idea of...

This paper analyses a transboundary pollution problem between two countries and studies the efficiency comparison of uniform versus differentiated abatement standards when there are imperfect transfers between countries. To achieve this goal, we use a negotiation game and the Nash bargaining...
