Under the regime of public health insurance, the utilization of health cares are determined by various socio-demographic and economic characteristics of the beneficiaries. These determinants are estimated in this study where we apply the dummy variable regression technique to the AMULET data...

This paper deals with involuntary unemployment. We suppose that wages fail to clear markets and undertake a disequilibrium analysis of the effect of unemployment insurance (U.I.) on unemployment and production. The disequilibrium model is so constructed as to take into account the impact of U.I....

The analysis of the question of structural stability in the growth model with exhaustible resources consists essentially in the examination of the long term values of capital and consumption as they result from parametric variations. The parameters used in this study relate to ethic (discount...

Recently, a new theoretical framework has been proposed to analyze the behavior of households composed of two adults. This approach, usually referred to has the “collective model”, assumes that spouses have distinct preferences and that household decisions are Pareto efficient. So far, most...

This article draws up a portrait of effective marginal tax rates (EMTRs) on labour income in Quebec. It aims in part to provide a better understanding of the impact of tax policy on the labour market and saving behavior of agents. Using an accounting micro-simulation model that incorporates the...

The paper is a brief critical evaluation of the treatment of the "supply of labour" in the CANDIDE model. The authors note that the "supply of labour block" does not occur to have retained much of the effort of the CANDIDE developing team. With regards to the specification of the equation of...

This paper presents a theoretical model of the impact of a reduction of standard working time on the demand for workers. The model endogenizes the decision of the firm for overtime hours. Substitution and scale effects associated with this policy are examined using duality theorems under...

The principal aim of this paper is to present an analysis of the factors that influence the dynamics of welfare spells among households. Four sets of variables are distinguished: variables that affect work conditions and individual preferences; variables that influence labour market rationing;...

In this paper, the decentralized economic allocation of a common property resource is fully characterized in a dynamic framework. Because of the externalities involved, this mode of allocation is shown to be inefficient. The extent and the causes of this inefficiency are discussed, with special...
