A large scale experiment: wages and educational expansion in France
Gurgand, Marc; Maurin, Eric - HAL - 2007
WWII in France. In order to identify the causal effect of education, we exploit the fact that the small group of people … graduating from elite education (Grandes Ecoles) remained stable, while the rest of the system experienced tremendous … cohorts that received more education have a lower wage gap, relative to Grandes Ecoles. We show that such a large scale …

How Wages and Employment Adjust to Trade Liberalization: Quasi-Experimental Evidence from Austria
Brülhart, Marius; Carrere, Céline; Trionfetti, Federico - HAL - 2011
We study the responses of regional employment and nominal wages to trade liberalization, exploiting the natural experiment provided by the opening of Central and Eastern European markets after the fall of the Iron Curtain in 1990. Using data for Austrian municipalities, we examine differential...

The Neighbor is King: Customer Discrimination in the Housing Market
Combes, Pierre-Philippe; Decreuse, Bruno; Schmutz, Benoît - HAL - 2012
This paper provides a method to single out customer-based discrimination in the housing market. We build a matching model with ethnic externalities where landlords differ in the number of housing units they own within the same building. Multiple-dwelling landlords discriminate more often than...

Loss Aversion and Seller Behavior: Evidence from the Housing Market: Comment Working Paper
Buisson, Florent - HAL - 2013
In an often quoted article, Genesove and Mayer (2001) observe that house sellers are reluctant to sell at a loss, and attribute this finding to loss aversion. I show that loss aversion cannot explain this phenomenon.

Edgeworth and Lindahl-Foley equilibria of a general equilibrium model with private provision of pure public goods
Florenzano, Monique; Mercato, Elena L. Del - HAL - 2006
In this paper, we propose a definition of Edgeworth equilibrium for a private ownership production economy with (possibly infinitely) many private goods and a finite number of pure public goods. We show that Edgeworth equilibria exist whatever be the dimension of the private goods space, and can...

Bargaining over public goods
Davila, Julio; Eeckhout, Jan; Martinelli, César - HAL - 2008
In a simple public good economy, we propose a natural bargaining procedure whose equilibria converge to Lindahl allocations as the cost of bargaining vanishes. The procedure splits the decision over the allocation in a decision about personalized prices and a decision about output levels for the...

General equilibrium
Florenzano, Monique - HAL - 2007
Unlike partial equilibrium analysis which study the equilibrium of a particular market under the clause "ceteris paribus" that revenues and prices on the other markets stay approximately unaffected, the ambition of a general equilibrium model is to analyze the simultaneous equilibrium in all...

Politics and the geographic allocation of public funds in a semi-democracy. The case of Ghana, 1996 - 2004
Andre, Pierre; Mesplé-Somps, Sandrine - HAL - 2010
The body of literature on purely democratic countries can sometimes fail to explain the behavior of government in semi-democratic African countries. Empirical and theoretical political economic papers find that public funds target ruling party supporters and swing districts. Our results,...
