This empirical analysis aims at assessing the effect of the economic climate and the intensity of capital utilisation on companies? capital retirement behaviour. It is conducted using individual company data, as well as original data on the degree of utilisation of production factors. The sample...

This empirical analysis assesses the determinants of firms’ capital retirement. Particular attention is paid to the impact of the business cycle and the capital usage intensity. Compared to previous studies, we directly control for the capital utilization and disentangle the short-run...

This paper investigates the recent changes in the French wage structure from 1990 to 2008. To do so, we disentangle the impact of changes in employment probability, changes in the levels of education and experience and changes in the price of labor. Unlike other developped countries, we find...

We show non-parametric identification of lagged duration dependence in mixed proportional hazard models for duration data, in the presence of competing risks and consecutive spells. We extend the results to the case in which data provide repeated realizations of consecutive spells competing...

We show that lagged duration dependence is non-parametrically identified in mixed proportional hazard models for duration data, in the presence of competing risks and consecutive spells.

The specific rule governing the increases in the French minimum wage (SMIC) can lead to a change in the minimum wage which is larger than the change of the workers hourly base wage (SHBO), as did happen in 1985, 1987 and 2008. In this note we show that the probability of such an event depends on...

We use a multivariate hazard model to analyse the ratification of ILO conventions by developing countries. The model accounts for two random effects: one at the country level, the other at the convention level. After investigating identification, we use a semi-parametric Bayesian approach based...
