Family policies : what does the standard endogenous fertility model tell us ?
Baudin, Thomas - HAL - 2008

In a … standard framework of endogenous fertility, the present paper shows that this result is still valid but that subsidizing … education also requires to tax births. Indeed, education subsidies decrease the net cost of children such that parents can …

High-dimensional instrumental variables regression and confidence sets
Gautier, Eric; Tsybakov, Alexandre - HAL - 2014
We propose an instrumental variables method for inference in high-dimensional structural equations with endogenous regressors. The number of regressors K can be much larger than the sample size. A key ingredient is sparsity, i.e., the vector of coefficients has many zeros, or approximate...

Late Again with Defiers
Chaisemartin, Clément De; D'Haultfoeuille, Xavier - HAL - 2012
We show that the Wald statistic still identifies a causal effect if instrument monotonicity is replaced by a weaker condition, which states that the potential propensities to be treated with or without the instrument should have the same distribution, conditional on potential outcomes. This...

Does public housing occupancy increase unemployment?
Dujardin, Claire; Goffette-Nagot, Florence - HAL - 2008
In order to test for the effect of public housing occupancy on unemployment, we estimate a simultaneous probit model of unemployment and public housing. On a first sample, we instrument public housing with the gender composition of children. On a second sample, the instrument is the share of...

Does public housing occupancy increase unemployment?
Dujardin, Claire; Goffette-Nagot, Florence - HAL - 2009
This paper shows that living in public housing has no effect on the probability of being unemployed in France, once we account for the endogeneity of public housing. We estimate a simultaneous probit model of unemployment and public housing. On a first sample for Lyon, we instrument public...

Neighborhood effects on unemployment ? A test à la Altonji
Dujardin, Claire; Goffette-Nagot, Florence - HAL - 2010
The aim of this paper is to test for the influence of neighborhood deprivation on individual unemployment probability in the case of Lyon (France). We estimate a bivariate probit model of unemployment and location in a deprived neighborhood. Our identification strategy is twofold. First, we...
