This study assesses the effect of volunteering during university studies on job access in the Paris region for young qualified job applicants. The study was performed on experimental data using correspondence testing : between April and July 2010, we sent 7,553 applications in response to 581...

We propose a new multivariate estimation of the ws-ps model on French macroeconomic data. Starting from a theoretical presentation of structural determinants of wage and price setting, we have estimated using a conditional var-ecm model, the relationships between unemployment rate, real labour...

The aim of our research is to explain spatial disparities of unemployment-to-work transitions in Paris region (Île-de-France). We are using exhaustive administrative data sets concerning unemployed seeking a job within the French civil service (through Agence nationale pour l?emploi) in order...
