This paper contributes to the already vast literature on demography-induced international capital flows by examining the role of labor market imperfections and institutions. We setup a two-country overlapping generations model with search unemployment, which we calibrate on EU15 and US data....

In this paper, we investigate the impact of demographic uncertainty in a multi-regional general equilibrium, overlapping generations model (INGENUE 2). Specifically, we will consider the level of uncertainty in each of the ten major regions of the world, and their correlation across regions. In...

Historical changes in the typical life-cycle do not conform to a simple model of equal-sharing in which additional years of life are equally distributed between time devoted to training, work and leisure. We have instead observed a quasi-general decline in the share of our life-cycles that is...

Nous étudions un modèle à générations imbriquées dans lequel coexistent des agents altruistes et égoïstes qui sont patients ou impatients et dont l'offre de travail est endogène. Cette double hétérogénéité nous permet d'analyser les déterminants économiques qui conduisent, de...

Most of the retirement decision models consider retirement as an individual trade-off between consumption and leisure and do not take the spouse situation into account. However, several elements could account for an interdependance between the spouses retirement decisions : complementarity for...

The long-term equilibrium unemployment rate has returned to the center of the economic debate in France. It derives from two macroeconomic equations. Wages are the result of wage bargaining on the labor market (wage-setting equation) and firms set the corresponding level of employment...

L’objectif de cet article est de mettre en évidence la relation entre la durée d’arrêt de travail, les salaires et l’Assurance maladie. Nous présentons une réécriture du modèle développé par Allen (1981), en tenant compte des spécificités du modèle français. Les propriétés...
