In this paper, we expose the results of a voting experiment realised in 2007, during the French Presidential election. This experiment aimed at confronting the Single Transferable Vote (SVT) procedure to two criteria : simplicity and the selection of a Condorcet-winner. Building on our...

Immigration is often perceived as an instrument of adaptation for aging countries. In this paper, we evaluate, using a dynamic general equilibrium model, the contribution of migration policy in reducing the tax burden associated with the aging population in France. Four variants, compared to a...

In this paper, we apply first and higher-order Euler discretizations to compare dynamic systems in discrete and continuous time. In addition, we stress the difference between backward and forward-looking approximations. Focussing on local bifurcations, we find that time representation is neutral...

The Kyoto Protocol, which came in force in February 2005, allows countries to resort to «supplementary activities» consisting particularly in carbon sequestration in agricultural soils. Existing papers studying the optimal carbon sequestration recognize the importance of the temporality of...

[eng] We use a model based on the latest forecasts by the French Retirement Advisory Council (Conseil d’Orientation des Retraites : COR) at the moment when the study was carried out and a Bootstrap simulation of the rate of return on the financial portfolio of the French Pension Reserve Fund...

In this contribution, we analyze the economic consequences of immigration into France. France has a long tradition of hosting foreign populations. As in most developed countries, recent immigrants come from few countries (mainly from the Mediterranean Basin), are highly concentrated in a few...

This paper analyzes the determinants of the choice of location of international students. Building on the documented trends in international migration of students, we identify the various factors associated to the attraction of migrants as well as the costs of moving abroad. Using new data...

Some recent empirical contributions have pointed out a significant negative impact of pollution on labor supply. These impacts have been largely ignored in the theoretical literature, which, instead, focused on the case of pollution effects on consumption demand. In this paper, we study the...
