HOW TO MAKE A PIE: REPRODUCIBLE RESEARCH FOR EMPIRICAL ECONOMICS AND ECONOMETRICS

2020

Les recherches empiriques en sciences humaines et sociales necessitent la manipulation de nombreux fichiers : differents jeux de donnees, de multiples programmes, qu'ils soient destines a la manipulation de donnees, aux traitements statistiques, aux estimations econometriques ou a des simulations, et de nombreux fichiers successifs de resultats. Maitriser l’ensemble des etapes du projet de recherche est indispensable si l’on souhaite pouvoir reproduire ou repliquer les resultats a long terme. Cette rigueur (fiabilite, tracabilite, reproductibilite), est desormais de plus en plus exigee par notre profession ainsi que par les editeurs de revues scientifiques. Apres avoir mis en evidence les e…

More hours, more jobs? The employment effects of longer working hours

2014

Increases in standard hours of work have been a contentious policy issue in Germany. Whilst this might directly lead to a substitution of workers by hours, there may also be a positive employment effect due to reduced costs. Moreover, the response of firms may differ between firms that offer overtime and those that do not. For a panel of German plants (2001–2006) drawn from the IAB Establishment Panel, we are the first to analyse the effect of increased standard hours on employment. Using difference-in-difference methods we find that, consistent with theory, overtime plants showed a significant positive employment response, whilst for standard-time plants there is no difference between plan…

Measuring Child-Rearing Values. A Research Note

2012

Abstract Large scale comparative studies, such as the value surveys (EVS and WVS) or the Eurobarometer, include measurements for parental/child-rearing values. This reflects a persistent interest for the topic, which produced salient studies starting with the first half of the twentieth century (Lynd and Lund 1929; Duvall 1946). Various scholars report data on parental values which use versions of the Q-sort methodology (Kohn 1977), ranking variables (Alwin 1990; Lenski 1961), scale indicators (Tulviste et al. 2007). Q-sort methodology remains the most widely employed. One of its versions is included in the value surveys as well. However, it fails to produce comparable indicators in differe…

Lacune et totalité. Phénoménalité, vie et monde dans la pensée de Renaud Barbaras

2013

« Qui nous sauve d’une reification de la conscience est le sauveur de la philosophie, voire son createur ». Un phenomenologue ne peut que souscrire a une telle affirmation, dont la paternite revient a Husserl et dont la clairvoyance est tout a fait frappante. Renaud Barbaras rappelle souvent cette formule et il lui est meme arrive d’ecrire qu’elle constitue « en quelque sorte [sa] boussole theorique ». Puisque boussole il y a, je vais suivre son cap pour tenter de ressaisir ce qu’il en est de...

Un réexamen du modèle de gains de Mincer

1986

A re-appraisal of mincer's earnings model Starting from rough measures of formal schooling and on the job training, the earning model proposed by J. Mincer (1974) suceed to explain a substantial proportion of the variance of individual earning. The explanatory power of the model can be significantly boosted by increasing the quality of the variables. In spite of the robustness of the model, the interpretation of the results is to be taken cautiously. These results can be derived from alternative theoretical hypothesis and namely to the one known as the filter hypothesis. It is shown that a specification of the earnings function consistent with the filter hypothesis is proced to be empirical…

Measuring ‘indirect’ investments in ICT in OECD countries

2019

International audience; ICT components, such as microprocessors, may be embodied in other capital goods not recorded as ICT in National Accounts. We name ‘indirect ICT investment’ the value of embodied ICT components in non-ICT investment. The paper provides estimates of ‘indirect ICT investment’ based on detailed and unpublished Supply-Use tables (SUT) in 12 OECD countries: Australia, Belgium, Canada, Chile, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Japan, Israel, Mexico, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States.Our main finding is that ICT investment appears significantly higher when considering its indirect component, the average increase being about 35%. The inclusion of i…

Environmental spillovers and their impacts on housing prices: A spatial hedonic analysis

2015

This paper investigates the spatial dimension of environmental factors on housing prices. We develop spatial hedonic models to estimate the implicit prices of various environmental attributes. The spatial dimension can be interpreted in terms of local or global spillovers. We conduct an empirical study in the Loire estuary (France). We focus on natural areas and more artificialized ones (ocean frontage, wetlands, rivers, and noisy roads). We show that, depending on the spatial model used, the implicit price is more than just the estimated coefficient value and combines both a feedback effect and a propagation effect.

Mesure et analyse de l'égalité et de l'équité en éducation

1988

Analysing and measuring equity in the education system has been the bread and butter of large number of sociological pieces of research. They are often based on the computation of selectivity indices (according to SES sex...) at given level of education higher education for example. The paper shows that these measures ignore the scarcity of resources existing in the education system. More precisely they ignore the structural dimension of the overall school organization allocation of resources between levels on the one hand quality choices at each level on the other which constitutes the shell itself more or less equalitarian within which are nested the various types of selectivity as they a…

Economic Returns to Education in France: OLS and Instrumental Variable Estimations

2013

En ligne sur : http://121.52.153.179/JOURNAL/LJE%20VOL%2018-2/Bhatti,%20Bourdon%20and%20Aslam.pdf; International audience; This article estimates the economic returns to schooling as well as analyzing other explanatory factors for the French labor market. It addresses the issue of endogeneity bias and proposes two new instruments for use in the instrumental variable two-stage least squares technique. Our results show that the proposed instruments are relevant and adequate, based on evidence from the available literature. After using the proposed instruments, we find that the OLS coefficients for schooling are biased downwards. Finally, we choose between the two proposed instruments.
