  • Preschool Duration, Family Background and Long‐Term Outcomes: Evidence From the Expansion of École Maternelle in France

    Open AccessFrancesco Andreoli, Arnaud Lefranc et al.ARTICLEOxford Bulletin of Economics and…2026

    This paper analyses the long‐term effects of preschool education in France. We focus on the effect of preschool duration on educational attainment and labour market earnings in adulthood. Building on an old tradition of free and universal pre‐primary education, France implemented in the late 1960s a large‐scale expansion of preschooling facilities, leading to a massive increase in the supply of preschool. We rely on the independent variation acro…

  • Robust Inequality of Opportunity Comparisons: Theory and Application to Early Childhood Policy Evaluation

    Francesco Andreoli, Tarjei Havnes et al.ARTICLEThe Review of Economics and…2019

    This paper develops a criterion to assess equalization of opportunity that is consistent with theoretical views of equality of opportunity. We characterize inequality of opportunity as a situation where some groups in society enjoy an illegitimate advantage. In this context, equalization of opportunity requires that the extent of the illegitimate advantage enjoyed by the privileged groups falls. Robustness requires that this judgment be supported…

  • Intergenerational Earnings Persistence and Economic Inequality in the Long Run: Evidence from French Cohorts, 1931–75

    Open AccessArnaud LefrancARTICLEEconomica2018Cited by: 2References: 43

    This paper analyses long‐term trends in intergenerational earnings persistence in France for male cohorts born between 1931 and 1975. This time period has witnessed important changes in the French labour market and educational system, in particular an important compression of earnings differentials as well as a large expansion in access to secondary and higher education. Using a two‐sample instrumental variables approach, I estimate two measures …

  • Chapter 6 Measuring Circumstances: Francs or Ranks, does it Matter

    Arnaud Lefranc, Nicolas Pistolesi et al.CHAPTERInequality Of Opportunity Theory…2011

    Purpose – We analyze equality of opportunity for earnings acquisition in France between 1973 and 1993 defining individual circumstances by parental earnings. We compare two different definitions of circumstances. In the first one they are measured by the father's earnings level, in the second one by the father's rank in the earnings distribution.Methodology – First we use stochastic dominance tools. Then we decompose the evolution of inequality o…

  • Unequal Opportunities and Ethnic Origin: The Labor Market Outcomes of Second-Generation Immigrants in France

    Open AccessArnaud LefrancARTICLEAmerican Behavioral Scientist2010Cited by: 6References: 21

    This article makes two contributions to the empirical analysis of the socioeconomic achievement of ethnic minorities. The first contribution is methodological. The author relies on a discussion of the concept of equality of opportunity to analyze how the disadvantage suffered by ethnic minorities should be defined and empirically measured. The second contribution is empirical. The author estimates the disadvantage suffered by second-generation im…

  • Inequality of Opportunities vs. Inequality of Outcomes: Are Western Societies All Alike

    Open AccessArnaud Lefranc, Nicolas Pistolesi et al.ARTICLEReview of Income and Wealth2008

    This paper analyzes the relationship between income inequality and inequality of opportunities for income acquisition in nine developed countries during the 1990s. Equality of opportunity is defined as the situation where income distributions conditional on social origin cannot be ranked according to stochastic dominance criteria. We measure social origin by parental education and occupation and use the database built by Roemer et al. (2003 ). St…

  • Inégalité de milieu d'origine et destin salarial en France,1977-1993

    Arnaud Lefranc, Nicolas Pistolesi et al.ARTICLERevue d économie politique2007

    Etudier l’inégalité des chances consiste à étudier des distributions concernant les résultats d’une génération conditionnellement à des caractéristiques du milieu familial. Nous étudions l’évolution de l’inégalité des chances entre 1977 et 1993 dans l’obtention du revenu salarial en fonction du rang ou du niveau de revenu du père à l’aide de l’enquête FQP. En faisant appel à des instruments de dominance stochastique, on montre que l’inégalité des…

    Einkünfte und soziale Herkunft Sind die Kinder von Führungskräften gegenüber den Arbeiterkindern hinsichtlich des Lebensstandards im Vorteil? Zur Beantwortung dieser Frage werden die Verteilungen der Einkünfte der Haushalte entsprechend der sozioprofessionellen Gruppe des Vaters des Familienvorstands analysiert. Diese Einkommensverteilungen werden mit Lotterien gleichgesetzt, deren Gewinn und Risiko auf der Grundlage der zwischen 1979 und 2000 du…

  • Salaires relatifs et chômage: Une analyse comparative France / Etats-Unis

    Arnaud LefrancARTICLERevue économique1997

    Cette étude compare l'évolution du marché du travail en France et aux États-Unis entre 1970 et 1993. Cette comparaison est menée d'un point de vue agrégé et par niveaux de qualification définis de manière homogène entre les deux pays. À long terme, les inégalités salariales globales diminuent en France alors qu'elles augmentent aux États-Unis. Ceci reflète des déformations opposées de la distribution des salaires. Les inégalités intergroupes conn…
