Nous présentons un modèle « prospectif » avec deux économies. Le Nord a stabilisé son stock de gaz à effet de serre, alors que le Sud continue d'émettre des polluants sans moyen de lutter contre. Ces externalités ont un impact sur la production du Sud et sont source de désutilité au...

Dans le cadre d'un modèle à générations imbriquées, nous supposons que la gestion d'une ressource renouvelable correspond à l'émission de quotas d'exploitation transférables. Chaque agent a la possibilité d'utiliser les quotas dans la production ou de les vendre à la génération...

It is recognized that affirmative action, as anti-discriminatory policies whose aim is to benefit an underrepresented group, is a key driver of progress for women. However, the role of migrants in helping female voice from abroad has not been addressed yet. This paper empirically investigates...

L’analyse théorique de la vulnérabilité des règles de vote aux comportements stratégiques montre que le caractère plus ou moins manipulable d’une règle dépend du concept d’équilibre auquel on se réfère. Une question cruciale est de savoir si l’on doit ou non tenir compte des...

Why in some urban areas do rich and poor households cohabit at the community level while, in others, we observe a sorting by income? To answer this question I develop a two-community general equilibrium framework of school quality, residential choice and tax decision. The model predicts that in...

This paper studies the impact of low-skilled immigration on the host country’s education system, which is characterized by sources of school funding, expenditres per pupil, and types of parents who are more likely to send children to publicly (privately) funded schools. When the size of...

This paper studies the impact of low-skilled immigration on the host country’s education policy, which is formulated by the natives via voting and refers to both school funding sources and resources in the public funded schools. When the size of low-skilled immigrants is large, it is found...

This paper studies the relationship between fiscal decentralization and electoral accountability, by analyzing how decentralization impacts upon incentive and selecion effects, and thus on voter welfare. The model abstracts from features such as public good spillovers or economics of scale, so...

Empirical papers show that labor income and capital income are differently taxed all over the world. We investigate whether this may correspond to individual preferences. We tackle this question in an overlapping generations general equilibrium model with heterogeneous agents: young versus old...

In most democracies, the majority of education expenditures is financed by the government. In non-democracies, we observe a wide variation in the mix of public and private funding of education. In addition, countries with high inequality tend to rely more heavily on private schooling. We develop...
