In this paper, we aim to shed light on the relative contribution of the separation and job finding rates to French unemployment at business cycle frequencies by using administrative data on registered unemployment and labor force surveys. We first investigate the fluctuations in steady state...

Cette étude analyse la dynamique des flux de travailleurs au cours du cycle conjoncturel à partir de deux types de données : l'enquête Emploi de l'Insee et les listes de demandeurs d'emploi inscrits à Pôle emploi. Des transitions mensuelles sur le marché du travail sont ainsi construites...

Since the late 90s, regression discontinuity designs have been widely used to estimate local treatment effects. When the running variable is observed with continuous errors, identification fails even if the dispersion of measurement errors is small. Assuming non-differential measurement errors,...

It is argued that the tax on continued activity should be removed by implementing actuarially fair schemes. However, these schemes cannot fund the expected Social Security (SS) deficit. This article proposes to give individuals a "fraction" of the actuarially fair incentives in the case of...

At the end of working life, as well as reducing unemployment benefits, the unemployment-insurance agency could apply pension tax instead of wage tax. First, the pension tax provides greater incentives as the value of re-employment is tax-free. Second, the short job duration before retirement...

Since the last recession, it is usually argued that older workers are less affected by the economic downturn because their unemployment rate rose less than the one of prime-age workers. This view is a myth: older workers are more sensitive to the business cycle. We document volatilities of...
