This study examines the set of interdependences between the formation of wages, prices and the minimum wage (SMIC) through a vectorial error correction model estimated on French quarterly macroeconomic data covering the 1970-1/1999-4 period. Two periods are distinguished: the period of inflation...

  In order to account for the evolution of employment at the macro-economic level, we have developed a model wherein employment is explained by added value, working time and real labour cost. Estimations using quarterly French macro-economic data are carried out in a multivariate framework for...

We propose a new multivariate estimation of the ws-ps model on French macroeconomic data. Starting from a theoretical presentation of structural determinants of wage and price setting, we have estimated using a conditional var-ecm model, the relationships between unemployment rate, real labour...

The aim of this paper is to evaluate the employment effect of wage tax cuts in the four French departements d?outre mer (Guadeloupe, Guyana, La Réunion, Martinique). We are using an ad hoc theoretical model calibrated on administrative data sources. Our model distinguishes several skill levels...

We measure hiring discrimination based on gender and the applicant?s mobility, as indicated in his/her resume (car and motorcycle driving licenses mentioned or not in the CV). A correspondence testing was performed to examine access to job interviews of young management accountants living in...
