The Potential of Recommender Systems for Directing Job Search
Extended maternity leave and children's long‐term development
Countries around the world are increasingly expanding legal maternity leaves, with the dual objective of protecting mothers' jobs during their recovery after childbirth and enhancing child development. Using exhaustive census data, we find that a three‐year paid leave in France had zero average effects on children's long‐term schooling achievement, and no detectable impact heterogeneity. The lack of positive effects on children adds to the case a…
Encouraging and Directing Job Search
Estimating the Effect of Treatments Allocated by Randomized Waiting Lists
Oversubscribed treatments are often allocated using randomized waiting lists. Applicants are ranked randomly, and treatment offers are made following that ranking until all seats are filled. To estimate causal effects, researchers often compare applicants getting and not getting an offer. We show that those two groups are not statistically comparable. Therefore, the estimator arising from that comparison is inconsistent when the number of waitlis…

Ready for Boarding? The Effects of a Boarding School for Disadvantaged Students
Boarding schools substitute school to home, but little is known on the effects this substitution produces on students. We present results of an experiment in which seats in a boarding school for disadvantaged students were randomly allocated. Boarders enjoy better studying conditions than control students. However, they start outperforming control students in mathematics only two years after admission, and this effect mostly comes from strong stu…
IT‐Based Technical Change and Job Instability
We investigate the impact of IT diffusion on the stability of employment. We document the evolution of different components of job instability over a panel of 348 cities in France, from the mid‐1970s to the early 2000s. The evidence goes against the view that the diffusion of IT has spurred job instability. Yet, analysing long‐term differences in the occupational structure, we find that IT diffusion has increased the share of high‐skill occupatio…

Please Call Again
We propose a novel selectivity correction procedure to deal with survey attrition in treatment effect models, at the crossroads of the Heckit model and the bounding approach of Lee (2009). As a substitute for the instrument needed in sample selectivity correction models, we use information on the number of prior calls made to each individual before obtaining a response to the survey. We obtain sharp bounds to the average treatment effect on the c…
Unintended Effects of Anonymous Resumes
We evaluate an experimental program in which the French public employment service anonymized resumes for firms that were hiring. Firms were free to participate or not; participating firms were then randomly assigned to receive either anonymous resumes or name-bearing ones. We find that participating firms become less likely to interview and hire minority candidates when receiving anonymous resumes. We show how these unexpected results can be expl…
Private and Public Provision of Counseling to Job Seekers
This paper reports the results of a large-scaled randomized controlled experiment comparing the public and private provision of counseling to job seekers. The intention-to-treat estimates of both programs are not statistically different, but more workers were enrolled in the private program, implying an effect per beneficiary that is twice as large under the public as under the private program. We find suggestive evidence that the private firms m…
Age‐biased Technical and Organizational Change, Training and Employment Prospects of Older Workers
We analyse the role of training in mitigating the negative impact of technical and organizational changes on the employment prospects of older workers. Using a panel of French firms in the late 1990s, we first estimate wage bill share equations for different age groups. As a second step, we estimate the impact of ICT , innovative work practices and training on employment flows by age group in the next period. Training appears to have a positive i…

Age Biased Technical and Organisational Change, Training and Employment Prospects of Older Workers
Insécurité de l'emploi
Unsicherheit des Arbeitsplatzes: hat die Betriebszugehörigkeit in Frankreich noch die gleiche Schutzfunktion? Die Unsicherheit des Arbeitsplatzes, die durch die Quote des jährlichen Übergangs von der Erwerbstätigkeit zur Erwerbslosigkeit gemessen wird, hat zwischen 1975 und 2000 in Frankreich erheblich zugenommen. Im Gegensatz zu der in den Vereinigten Staaten beobachteten Entwicklung wurden dabei aber die Arbeitnehmer mit medianer Dienstzugehöri…
La dynamique des écarts de revenu sur le territoire métropolitain (1984-2002)
Die globale Stabilität der Einkommensunterschiede (nach Transfers und vor Steuern) in Frankreich zwischen 1984 und 2002 maskiert wichtige Entwicklungen. Außer in der Pariser Region verringern sich die Unterschiede zwischen einerseits städtischen Polen und andererseits Gebieten am Standrand und auf dem Land systematisch. Innerhalb dieser drei unterschiedlichen Räume nehmen die Ungleichheiten eine unterschiedliche Entwicklung: In den städtischen Po…
Changement technologique et formation tout au long de la vie
On étudie le lien empirique entre changement organisationnel ou technologique et accès à la formation continue selon l’âge. L’objectif est de tester l’hypothèse selon laquelle les seniors souffriraient d’un désavantage comparatif pour la formation continue qui se manifesterait particulièrement lors de changements de l’entreprise qui requièrent un investissement accru dans la formation. Les résultats sont contrastés. Le changement organisationnel …

Contribution Delalande et transitions sur le marché du travail
Delalande-Abgabe und Übergänge auf dem Arbeitsmarkt Die 1987 eingeführte Delalande-Steuer ist eine Abgabe, die die Unternehmen davon abhalten soll, Arbeitnehmer von über 50 Jahren zu entlassen. Ein solches System kann aber auch kontraproduktiv sein. Denn es kann insbesondere dazu führen, dass die Unternehmen keine älteren Arbeitnehmer einstellen, um später diese Abgabe nicht zahlen zu müssen. In diesem Artikel werden die verschiedenen Effekte auf…

Training and Age-Biased Technical Change
Using a matched employer-employee dataset on the French manufecturing sector in the 1990s, we investigate how training incidence responds to technical and organizational changes. Using a difference-in-difference approach across age groups and types of firms, we find that older workers in low-skill occupations lag behind in terms of training (in computer skills and in teamwork) when firms implement advanced information technologies. By contrast, t…
Age Biased Technical and Organisational Change, Training and Employment Prospects of Older Workers
Disability and Social Security Reforms
The French pattern of early transitions out of employment is basically explained by the low age at "normal" retirement and by the importance of transitions through unemployment insurance and early-retirement schemes before access to normal retirement. These routes have exempted French workers from massively relying on disability motives for early exits, contrarily to the situation that prevails in some other countries where normal ages are high, …
Information and Communication Technologies and Skill Upgrading
Information and communication technologies and skill upgrading
Following the adoption of information and communication technologies (ICT), firms are likely to face increasing skill requirements. They may react either by training or hiring the new skills, or by a combination of both. We first show that ICT are indeed skill biased and we then assess the relative importance of external and internal labour market strategies. We show that skill upgrading following ICT adoption takes place mostly through internal …
