Household services in France are characterized by involuntary part-timr jobd (even in permanent contracts), fixed-term contracts and multi-activity. The situation of these employees therefore does not obey a simple dual structure where permanent contracts (CDI) oppose short-term contracts. This...

This article examines whether the extra-financial performance of countries on environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors matter for sovereign bonds markets. We propose an econometric analysis of the relationship between ESG performances and government bond spreads of 23 OECD countries...
