The paper presents the GAMEO model. It is a dynamic microsimulation model which aims at analyse educational output. It develops a generational approach and put the stress on the ditribution of educational output differentiated by type an level of degree.

Housing returns are an important element in households’ housing tenure choices (buy/rent) and investors’ portfolio compositions. Usually in the absence of individual data, practitioners resort to the ratio of the average of rents to transaction prices over large areas to proxy these returns,...

A large exclusion from the labor market or an important unemployment of lowskilled workers is observed in numerous countries that set a minimum wage. Unemployment benefit or subsidizing low-skilled job policies can be mixed to deal with this situation. We introduce a matching model where (i)...

We introduce a matching model that allows for classical and frictional unemployment. The labor market is dual featuring low-skilled and high-skilled workers and simple and complex jobs. Simple jobs pay a minimum wage, while wages in the complex jobs are determined by Nash bargaining....

Cost-sharing policies for higher education have been implemented in several countries in various ways. We argue that to assess their appropriateness and facilitate their implementation it is necessary to develop statistical indicators of the distribution of returns. When starting a higher...

This paper analyzes the role played by inventories in the propagation of economic shocks using aggregate data for OECD countries and panel data from a sample of french firms. The approach is purely descriptive. The statement 'Production is more volatile than sales' appears to be sensitive to the...
