Can information about jobs improve the effectiveness of vocational training? Experimental evidence from India
We use a randomized experiment to evaluate the impact of providing richer information about prospective jobs to vocational trainees on their employment outcomes. The setting of the study is the vocational training program DDU-GKY in India. We find that including in the training two information sessions about placement opportunities make trainees 18% more likely to stay in the jobs in which they are placed. We provide suggestive evidence that the …
Impact of the Covid-19 crisis on India’s rural youth
This paper presents evidence on the short and long-term impact of the COVID-19 crisis on India’s rural youth. We interviewed about 2,000 vocational trainees from Bihar and Jharkhand three times after the first national lockdown in 2020, between June 2020 and December 2021. We find that a third of respondents who were in salaried jobs pre-lockdown lost their jobs, and half of those who worked out of state returned home shortly after the lockdown. …
Gender Differences in Job Search
We relate gender differences in willingness to commute to the gender wage gap. Using French administrative data on job search criteria, we first document that unemployed women have a lower reservation wage and a shorter maximum acceptable commute than their male counterparts. We identify indifference curves between wage and commute using the joint distributions of reservation job attributes and accepted job bundles. Indifference curves are steepe…
The heterogeneity of ethnic employment gaps
Les difficultés scolaires et professionnelles des jeunes issus de l'immigration
La localisation géographique des populations issues de l'immigration et leur ségrégation dans les zones les plus défavorisées sont souvent avancées pour expliquer leurs moindres performances scolaires et leur position défavorable sur le marché du travail. Dans cet article, nous cherchons à déterminer si la réussite éducative et l'insertion dans l'emploi de jeunes dont au moins un parent est né en Afrique du Nord, Afrique subsaharienne ou au Proch…
Local Ethnic Composition and Natives' and Immigrants' Geographic Mobility in France, 1982-1999
This article provides empirical results on patterns of native and immigrant geographic mobility in France. Using longitudinal data, we measure mobility from one French municipality (commune) to another over time and estimate the effect of the initial municipality's ethnic composition on the probability of moving out. These data allow us to use panel techniques to correct for biases related to selection based on geographic and individual unobserva…
Do Labor Market Policies have Displacement Effects? Evidence from a Clustered Randomized Experiment
This article reports the results from a randomized experiment designed to evaluate the direct and indirect (displacement) impacts of job placement assistance on the labor market outcomes of young, educated job seekers in France. We use a two-step design. In the first step, the proportions of job seekers to be assigned to treatment (0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, or 100%) were randomly drawn for each of the 235 labor markets (e.g., cities) participating in th…

Measuring Segregation When Units are Small
This article considers the issue of measuring segregation in a population of units that contain few individuals (e.g., establishments, classrooms). When units are small, the usual segregation indices, which are based on sample proportions, are biased. We propose a parametric solution: the probability that an individual within a given unit belongs to the minority is assumed to be distributed as a mixture of Beta distributions. The model can be est…

L’emploi et les salaires des enfants d’immigrés
Die Franzosen mit mindestens einem aus dem Maghreb eingewanderten Elternteil weisen eine Beschäftigungsquote von 18 Prozentpunkten sowie Löhne von 13 % unterhalb derjenigen Franzosen auf, deren beide Elternteile französischer Abstammung sind. Mit unserer Studie soll ermittelt werden, welcher Anteil dieser Abweichungen auf die erworbenen Ausbildungsabschlüsse, das Alter, den Wohnsitz, die Familiensituation der betreffenden Personen usw. zurückzufü…

Zones Franches Urbaines
41 abgabenfreie Stadtgebiete (Zones Franches Urbaines, ZFU) wurden am 1. Januar 2004 gegründet und traten an die Stelle der Gebiete der städtischen Redynamisierung (Zones de Redynamisation Urbaine, ZRU). In den ZFU sind die Unternehmen fünf Jahre lang von den Arbeitgeberabgaben, der Körperschaftssteuer, der Gewerbesteuer und der Grundsteuer befreit. Um die Auswirkungen dieser Maßnahmen auf die Beschäftigung und die Existenzgründung zu evaluieren,…
Ralentissement démographique et chômage
Le recul de la natalité et celui de la mortalité produisent d’importants changements dans la démographie de la majeure partie des pays industrialisés, dont la France. Après plusieurs décennies de croissance assez soutenue, la population active voit sa progression ralentir ou s’inverser. Ce mouvement s’accompagne d’une croissance rapide de la population en âge d’être retraitée. Cette étude s’intéresse à l’impact de ce double mouvement pour l’équil…
The Importance of Local Corporate Taxes in Business Location Decisions
Determinants of businesses locations are known to be multiple. Locations of partners and competitors are crucial, as well as the territory's local characteristics. To consider the importance of local taxes we build a Poisson model to explain the number of business creations observed in a given municipality. First results suggest that there are unobserved factors driving firm creation that are positively correlated with the level of local taxes. T…
