Contemporaneous models of labor economics have brought the basic microeconomic elements to observe a segmented labor market. The objective of minimising the cost of efficient labor unit is at the root of both the efficiency wage and "insiders-outsiders" models. In this paper we are interested in...

This paper provides new developments in job search theory, incorporating a duality in search strategies which compose the offer rate. Two strategies are modelled. A first one, called passive strategy, consists in searching exclusively in the spatial area of the public employment agency. The...

The paper investigates individual transitions from a temporary job (CDD) to a permanent job (CDI) in France. We present the transition from a temporary job to a permanent one as a simple tournament mechanism where promotion to CDI is based on a productivity norm. The equilibrium properties of...

The scientific environment might influence university researchers’ job designs. In a principal–agent model, researchers must choose between substitutable tasks, publishing or teaching, according to their individual abilities and the scientific and pedagogical context that exists in their...

The objective of this paper is to provide microeconomic evidence for the so called "Oswald's hypothesis", which is whether homeownership results in negative outcomes in the labour market. In a first step, a multinomial logit model for the choice of tenure status is estimated. Estimated...

The objective of this paper is to provide microeconomic evidence for “Oswald’s hypothesis”, which is whether homeownership results in negative outcomes in the labour market. In a first step, a probit model for the choice of tenure status is estimated. The estimated probability of being a...

Nous présentons un modèle simple permettant d'interpréter la transition d'un CDD à un CDI à partir d'un mécanisme de tournoi dans lequel la promotion vers le CDI est basée sur une norme de productivité. Les propriétés d'équilibre du modèle montrent que l'écart de salaire entre CDI...

Cet article propose de tester, sur données individuelles, l'hypothèse d'Oswald, selon laquelle le développement de la propriété immobilière observé dans la plupart des pays de l'OCDE s'accompagnerait d'une augmentation de la durée des épisodes de chômage. La démarche retenue apporte...
