In this paper we examine the influence of unemployment on property crimes and on violent crimes in France for the period 1990 to 2000. This analysis is the first extensive study for this country. We construct a regional-level data set (for the 95 départements of metropolitan France) with...

In this paper we estimate by matching techniques the effects of a French retraining program on the reemployment rate of displaced workers. This program, called Conventions de conversion, was intended to improve reemployment prospects of displaced workers by proposing them retraining and job...

In this paper we estimate the short-term effects of a French retraining program that was intended to improve reemployment prospects of displaced workers. Our empirical analysis uses non-experimental data collected by the French Ministry of Labour. Transitions from unemployment to permanent vs....
