Pareto-improving structural reforms
Philosophie économique
En 2018, la Ve République a fêté ses soixante ans. Mais cette exceptionnelle longévité s'est accommodée d'évolutions multiples. La Ve République est celle d'Antoine Pinay mais aussi celle de Georges Pompidou et d'Emmanuel Macron, de Raymond Marcellin et de Martine Aubry. La Ve République que nous connaissons est-elle la même qu'en 1958 ? Si oui, quelles sont ses spécificités ? S'agit-il d'un régime fourre-tout ou bien est-il porteur de principes …

The Possibility of Ideological Bias in Structural Macroeconomic Models
An ideologically biased expert faces trade-offs in model design. The perceived model must be autocoherent—its use by all agents delivers a self-confirming equilibrium. Policy may be influenced by manipulating the Keynesian multiplier or the Phillips curve parameters. Ideological bias may arise in a way that resembles well-known historical controversies. A larger reported Keynesian multiplier is favored by more left-wing economists, as is a flatte…

A “quantized” approach to rational inattention
La montée des bobos. Enjeux économiques
Dans les democraties occidentales riches est apparue une nouvelle bourgeoisie, les « bourgeois boheme » ou « bobos ». Il est interessant d’etudier les enjeux economiques qu’entraine en France, dans les luttes politiques et urbaines, l’apparition de ces « nouvelles couches », comme disait Gambetta
Bobos in Paradise
This paper provides some elements to explain the observed takeover in some urban areas of a new kind of elite associated with new economy jobs, also known as “bourgeois bohème” (bobos). This takeover has been associated with greater investment in urban amenities and “clean” means of transport, with adverse effects on commuting time. The model allows us to explain those developments by productivity growth in the new economy, and by the differences…
La rigidité comme paradigme socio-politique
De nombreux analystes dplorent les rigidits de la socit franaise. Cela signifie la fois un fonctionnement conomique sclros en rgime courant, et qui se traduirait par des incitations faibles investir, embaucher, innover, se rorienter ou accumuler du capital humain, et des blocages institutionnels, politiques et socitaux lorsqu'il s'agit de mettre en place des rformes structurelles. On constate en gnral une rglementation excessive des marchs si on …
How Darwinian Should an Economy Be
Liberté et société post-utilitariste
Les fondements utilitaristes d’un gouvernement limité sont instables, dans la mesure où ils supposent des individus rationnels et cohérents. L’hypothèse d’agent rationnel faite par les économistes a récemment été l’objet d’attaques soutenues. L’économie comportementale a suggéré que les individus sont en proie à des biais irrationnels et à des incohérences. L’auteur explique comment ces développements ont mené à un post-utilitarisme, qui justifie…
A Theory of Political Entrenchment
La société de défiance et les distorsions de marché
How Does the Allocation of Credit Select between Boundedly Rational Firms
I study how savers allocate funds between boundedly rational firms which follow simple pricing rules. Firms need cash to pay their inputs in advance, and savers–shareholders allocate cash between them so as to maximize their rate of return. When the rate of return on each firm is observed, there are multiple equilibria, and some degree of monopoly power is sustained. However, the economy gets close to the Walrasian equilibrium when the availabili…
Will Limited Needs Kill Capitalism
This paper argues that a number of unorthodox analyses of capitalism can be understood from the point of view of orthodox economic theory. Our argument is based on the assumptions of monopolistic competition and that utility derived from consuming an individual good is bounded. model's predictions are consistent with some popular heterodox views, such as In modern capitalist society, productivity is so high that many people are nearly saturated w…
Why are European Countries Diverging in their Unemployment Experience
During the nineties, unemployment fell in a number of European countries while it remained high in others. This Paper discusses potential causes for that evolution in light of recent economic research, emphasizing obstacles to reform due to political constraints, the prevalence of ideology, and agency issues within those bureaucracies concerned with the unemployment problem. Some speculative thoughts are offered as to why those factors might be m…

Le déclin économique de la France
Depuis maintenant plusieurs annees, hommes politiques, intellectuels et medias sont divises par une controverse sur le « declin de la France ». Pour les uns, la France perd graduellement du terrain a cause du poids croissant de l’Etat et de son incapacite a mettre en œuvre des reformes structurelles. Pour les autres, elle reste la cinquieme puissance economique mondiale, un exportateur dynamique, un pionnier de la protection sociale et un centre …

The Political Economy of Labour Market Institutions
Most economists think that unemployment is high in Europe because of rigid labour market institutions such as minimum wages, unemployment benefits, and employment protection. The book develops a theory of labour market institutions as the outcome of the political process. A central hypothesis is that they will be chiefly determined by the interests of employed workers with intermediate skill levels. We show that redistributive conflict between th…

Dynamic labor demand with dual labor markets
Technological dualism, incomplete financial markets and economic development
A model is built in which, the more incomplete financial markets are, the more technological dualism is prevalent in the economy. The model is extended to show that, through dualism and technological choice, incomplete financial markets can have a negative impact on long-run growth
Uncovering Some Causal Relationships between Productivity Growth and the Structure of Economic Fluctuations
This paper discusses recent theoretical and empirical work on the interactions between growth and business cycles. One may distinguish two very different types of approaches to the problem of the influence of macroeconomic fluctuations on long-run growth. In the first type of approach, which relies on learning by doing mechanisms or aggregate demand externalities, productivity growth and direct production activities are complements. An expansion …

Dual Labor Markets
The labor market consists of two tiers. Workers in the upper tier enjoy high wages, good benefits, and employment security, and they are often unionized. Workers in the lower tier experience low wages, high turnover, job insecurity, and little chance of promotion. Until now, dual labor market theory has focused mainly on microeconomic factors such as discrimination, poverty, and public welfare. Dual Labor Markets considers the macroeconomic impli…

L'anatomie du chômage en Espagne
Avec un taux proche de 20 %, l’Espagne avait un taux de chômage presque deux fois plus élevé que la moyenne européenne à la fin des années 90. Cet écart ne peut s’expliquer uniquement par les spécificités de l’économie espagnole. Une comparaison avec la France et les États-Unis montre que la structure du chômage y est différente. Les jeunes y souffrent moins du chômage, en termes relatifs, qu’en France et le niveau de formation joue un moindre rô…
