This paper presents some results of the computable, general-equilibrium, multiregional overlapping-generations model INGENUE. The purpose of this research is to analyse the issues relating to wealth accumulation and alternative pension reforms in the context of global finance. Hence it focuses...

Les transplants japonais vont-ils diffuser dans le monde entier le modèle de la production frugale ? L'article discute cette proposition d'un double point de vue théorique et empirique. Il ressort d'abord que la supériorité d'un modèle productif est rarement absolue mais relative à...

We study compensation packages in family and non-family firms. Using French matched employer-employee data, we first show that family firms pay on average lower wages. We find that part of this wage gap is due to low wage workers sorting into family firms and high wage workers sorting into...

Using an endogenous growth model in an open economy, we study the impact of minimum wages on growth for an innovator country. We state that a minimum wage shifts efforts from production to R&D, but only in an open economy. Thus, it speeds up long-run growth in proportional to exports....

Nous proposons, dans cet article, une analyse formelle de la relation formation-croissance dans cinq économies de l'OCDE, fondée sur la notion de qualifications intermédiaires et intégrant la forte dimension institutionnelle de cette variable. Celle-ci apparaît en effet déterminée par les...

En matière de développement, depuis vingt ans, les oppositions radicales ont cédé la place à de notables convergences: tant le marché que l'Etat rencontrent des limites, il convient donc de combiner plus que d'opposer leur logique. A l'Etat les décisions stratégiques, au marché le rôle...

The paper surveys the main findings of research about the specificity of the Japanese "régulation" mode and growth pattern, with a special emphasis upon the wage labor nexus, compares the recession which began in 1991 with the previous ones and finally analyses the institutional transformations...

This paper investigates theoretical and empirical links between jobtenure and short-term mobility wage gains. Standard theoretical approaches examining this subject (search theory, job-matching and on-the-job training models) predict a negative correlation between these variables. Furthermore,...

Les théories contemporaines sont construites sur l’hypothèse d’une forte substituabilité entre travail et équipement en réponse aux signaux des marchés, en particulier du travail. La théorie de la régulation enregistre plutôt la complémentarité des facteurs et propose la notion de...

This paper provides unprecedented direct evidence from large-scale survey data on both the intensity (how much?) and direction (to whom?) of income comparisons. Income comparisons are considered to be at least somewhat important by three-quarters of Europeans. They are associated with both lower...
