Short-time work benefits revisited : some lessons from the Great Recession
Boeri, Tito; Brücker, Herbert - 2011
The Great Recession triggered a resurgence of short-time work (STW) throughout the OECD. Several countries introduced from scratch STW or significantly expanded the scope of the programmes already in place. In some countries like Italy, Japan and Germany between 2.5 and 5 per cent of the...

A primer on the 35-hour in France, 1997 - 2007
Askenazy, Philippe (contributor) - 2008
France has experienced massive changes in its regulation of working time during the last decade. These changes generate natural experiments that may help to study a variety of issues in labor economics, including work sharing effect on job creation or productivity, labor relations or adaptation...

Macroeconomic impacts of Canadian immigration : results from a macro-model
Dungan, Douglas Peter; Fang, Tony; Gunderson, Morley - 2012
We use a macro-econometric forecasting model to simulate the impact on the Canadian economy of a hypothetical increase in immigration. Our simulations generally yield positive impacts on such factors as real GDP and GDP per capita, aggregate demand, investment, productivity, and government...

Fighting poverty : assessing the effect of guaranteed minimum income proposals in Québec
Clavet, Nicholas-James; Duclos, Jean-Yves; Lacroix, Guy - 2013
This paper analyzes the impact of a recent recommendation made by Quebec's Comité consultatif de lutte contre la pauvreté et l'exclusion sociale to guarantee every individual an income equal to 80% of Statistics Canada's Market Basket Measure (MBM). Workers with earnings at least equivalent to...
