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...

This paper 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.

  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...

Unemployment in France rose steadily from the early-seventies to the mid-eighties. Since the mid-eighties it has continued to experience fluctuations around a very high average level. Equilibrium unemployment theories are a useful framework within which to account for these developments. A...

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...

The main interest of impact evaluations with experimental methods lies in their ability to measure precisely the effect of a social program when there is no preexisting data and when the theoretical framework is still the subject of many debates. These methods also allow for controlling both...

Using data from a randomized social experiment conducted in French Univesité du Maine in 2010-2012, we investigate how to mitigate the negative impact of student work on academic achievement. The experimented program consisted in proposing the students, willing to work, an access to a large set...

Randomized evaluation of public policies began to be applied to major social programs in France since 2007, more than forty years after the first similar work in the United States. They have been experiencing rapid development. These experimental methods are to evaluate the effects of a policy...
