On the transmission of prices and of market access shocks
Two of the main shocks that affect international trade are price and tariff changes. The present thesis covers these two topics. The first chapter shows that the transmission of international agricultural prices to local producers is asymmetric, with downward price movements being transmitted more strongly than upward price movements. This seems to be due to the market power that...

Y-a-t-il des cas où la couverture médiatique des produits ou services des entreprises est biaisée négativement?

The Academic and Labor Market Returns of University Professors
This paper estimates the impact of college teaching on students’ academic achievement and labor market outcomes using administrative data from Bocconi University (Italy) matched with Italian tax records.

Trade and long-term unemployment: A quantitative assessment
We develop a multi-country, multi-sector, gravity model with trade frictions in the wake of Eaton and Kortum (2002) and Costinot, Donaldson and Komunjer (2012), which allows for labour market frictions as per Diamond-Mortensen-Pissarides and long-term equilibrium unemployment level as in Helpman and Itskhoki (2010). We find that trade liberalisation may lead to a rise in unemployment...

We embed a model of the labor market with sector-specific search-and-matching frictions into a Ricardian model with a continuum of goods to show that trade liberalization causes higher unemployment in countries with comparative advantage in sectors with strong labor market frictions and leads to lower unemployment in countries with comparative advantage in sectors with weak labor...

Discrete choice pseudo panel data models
Les données de panel sont aujourd'hui d'une importance capitale dans l'analyse du comportement des micro-unités. Or dans beaucoup de pays, ces données n'existent pas encore. A la place, les chercheurs peuvent utiliser des enquêtes répétées. Dans un pareil cas, vu l'impossibilité de suivre la même unité dans le temps, on passe au niveau cohorte tout en...

Assignment Mechanisms, Selection Criteria, and the Effectiveness of Training Programmes
We analyse the effectiveness of vocational training under two different assignment mechanisms. The direct assignment mechanism is characterised by the strong influence of caseworkers who can directly assign the unemployed to vocational training courses. Under the voucher assignment mechanism unemployed have more freedom to choose among different courses and training providers....
