Le partage de la valeur ajoutee en France et en Allemagne a connu d'importantes inflexions durant les 30 dernieres annees qui peuvent etre reliees aux fluctuations des termes de l'echange, a la progression du chomage ou encore a l'evolution des taux d'interet. Apres avoir derive une equation de...

Il est souvent avance que l'assiette actuelle des cotisations sociales, la masse salariale, pénalise l'emploi en rencherissant le coût du seul facteur travail et en incitant en conséquence les entreprises a substituer du capital au travail. Cette etude propose une caracterisation des...

This study explores the factors driving the observed movements of the profit share in several major industrialised countries (France, Germany, United States, United Kingdom and Japan) over the period 1970-2000. Within the group of countries we study, both the level and the fluctuations of the...

Through panel estimates using OECD country-industry statistics, this paper aims to clarify the determinants of rent creation and the mechanisms of rent sharing, and the role of market regulations in these processes. It uses a panel database of 4,136 observations, comprising industry-level data...

The sustained increase in productivity gains from the spread of ICTs may increase potential output growth in the medium to long term via capital deepening effects and total factor productivity (TFP) gains, and in the short to medium term via the lagged adjustment of wages to productivity gains....

The value of land in the balance sheet of French firms correlates positively with their hiring and investment flows. To explore the relationship between these variables, we develop a macroeconomic model with firms that are subject to both credit and labor market frictions. The value of...

We study the effect of financial shocks in labor market dynamics. We build a model with two types of labor, two types of capital and both search and financial frictions. We find that financial shocks, modeled as exogenous disturbances to the borrowing constraint of firms, can generate realistic...

In this paper, I propose a new Keynesian DSGE model with labor market search and matching frictions which replicates the low volatility and the moderate procyclicality of the labor force participation rate, that are observed in the United States at business cycle frequency. That being so,it can...
