    - "Geographical constraints in track choices : A French study using high school openings"

Abstract

We study the effect of opening a new high school on individual schooling decisions at the end of lower secondary education. The working sample covers all ninth graders between 2007-2008 and 2012-2013 in France. The two-way fixed-effect estimation strategy uses variation in time and space to estimate the causal effect of an increase in school supply. Opening a new high school significantly increases the probability of pupils from neighboring middle schools continuing in higher secondary education. The effect is exclusively due to new high schools proposing a vocational track. Furthermore, the effect is mainly driven by low-achieving students.

    - "Social Preferences and Coordination : An Experiment", joint with Mamadou Gueye et Nicolas Quérou.

Abstract

In this paper, we use a laboratory experiment to analyze the effect of social preferences in a coordination game with Pareto-ranked equilibria. Inequality is increased by increasing the coordination payoffs of some subjects while the coordination payoffs of others remain unchanged. Theoretically, in this setting, inequality aversion may lead to a negative relationship between inequality and coordination success, while total payoff motivations lead to a positive relationship. Using a within-subject experimental design, we find that more inequality unambiguously yields a higher level of coordination success. Furthermore, this result holds even for subjects whose payoffs remain unchanged. Our results suggest that total payoff motivations drive the positive
relationship between inequality and coordination success found in this experiment. Moreover, our data highlight that the order of treatment matters. Groups facing over time a reduction in inequalities reach the efficient outcome more often, over the entire experiment, compared to groups facing over time an increase in inequalities. This study thus contributes to understanding whether social preferences and variations in inequality affect the outcome of coordination problems.

    - "Facilitating Healthy Dietary Habits : An Experiment with a Low Income Population", joint with Jonathan James and Jonathan Spiteri.

Abstract

This paper tests an intervention aimed at facilitating (cognitively) the adoption of healthy dietary habits. We provide easy-to-understand information about the risks of developing diabetes or heart diseases and give easy-to-follow dietary recommendations to minimize these risks. We implement two variations, one consisting of generic information, the other consisting of information tailored to the individual, the latter resembling newly developed on-line health assessment tools. On top of the information treatment, we implement a second experimental variation nudging people into spending more time thinking about their dietary choices. We find evidence that the information intervention leads to healthier choices in the short run, but mostly in the generic treatment. Surprisingly, we find that people are on average pessimistic about their health, and therefore receive good news on average when the information is tailored to them. We find no evidence that increasing the time available to make choices leads to healthier choices, and find no evidence of long-term changes in habits. These results do not support a bounded rationality explanation for poor dietary choices.

    - "Mobility and congestion in urban India", joint with P.A. Akbar, V. Couture and A. Storeygard.

Abstract

We develop a methodology to estimate robust city level vehicular mobility indices, and apply it to 154 Indian cities using 22 million counterfactual trips measured by a web mapping service. There is wide variation in mobility across cities. An exact decomposition shows this variation is driven more by differences in uncongested mobility than congestion. Under plausible assumptions, a one standard deviation improvement in uncongested speed creates much more mobility than optimal congestion pricing. Denser and more populated cities are slower, only in part because of congestion. Urban economic development is correlated with better (uncongested and overall) mobility despite worse congestion.

    - "The habit-forming effects of feedback : evidence from a large-scale field experiment"

Abstract

In this paper, we develop a unified model of habit formation and attention to examine the behavioral and welfare impacts of realtime feedback on behavior. Our framework encompasses consumption-based habit as in Stigler and Becker (1977), as well as attention-based habit motivated by recent studies in psychology and neuroscience. We test these competing mechanisms using a large-scale field experiment in the context of resource consumption (showering). We implement a novel experimental design that varies household-level realtime feedback cycles that temporarily draw attention to individuals’ cost of consumption. Our results strongly support an attention-based model of habit in favor of workhorse consumption-based models used in economics.

    - "Labor Market Effects of Reducing the Gender Gap in Parental Leave Entitlements”, joint with Elena Del Rey and Jose I. Silva.

Abstract

We explore the effects of parental leave entitlements for mothers and fathers on wages and unemployment. To do so we include two types of workers, males and females, who compete for the same jobs, in a labour search and matching model with parental leave. We show that increases in leave duration have ambiguous effects on market tightness and wages. We identify, analytically and graphically, the mechanisms behind these ambiguous effects. Given the variety of theoretical cases we calibrate the model for selected countries (France, Italy, Norway and Portugal) and simulate policy changes. In all countries considered an increase in duration of either type-specific leave reduces both wages and increases unemployment, which is consistent with a relatively large negative effect of the leave on job creation. The simulated effects are however relatively small and suggest that the scope for leave duration policy to reduce gender wage and employment gaps is limited.

    - "Incentives and the Sorting of Motivated Agents", joint with Kevin Bauer and Ferdinand von Siemens

Abstract

We study the role of incentives for the sorting of motivated agents in a lab experiment. Participants can self-select into different teams in which they can earn money but also exert “social effort” to produce charitable donations. The production of donations is characterized by complementarities : a participant’s return of social effort increases in the social effort of others in the same team. Our theoretical and empirical results show that differences in incentives across teams facilitate the sorting of motivated agents and thereby increase donations. Participants exert more social effort if they are in the low-incentive team. Interestingly, this holds for non-motivated participants as well, but only if self-selection is possible.

    - "Fair long-term care insurance", joint with Pierre Pestieau and Gregory Ponthiere.

Abstract

The study of optimal long-term care (LTC) social insurance is generally carried out under the utilitarian social criterion, which penalizes individuals who have a lower capacity to convert resources into well-being, such as dependent elderly individuals or prematurely dead individuals. This paper revisits the design of optimal LTC insurance while adopting the ex post egalitarian social criterion, which gives priority to the worst-off in realized terms (i.e. once the state of nature has been revealed). Using a lifecycle model with risk about the duration of life and risk about old-age dependence, it is shown that the optimal LTC social insurance is quite sensitive to the postulated social criterion. The optimal second-best social insurance under the ex post egalitarian criterion involves, in comparison to utilitarianism, higher LTC benefits, lower pension benefits, a higher tax rate on savings, as well as a lower tax rate on labor earnings.

    - "Industrial clusters in the long run : Evidence from Million-Rouble plants", joint with Stephan Heblich, Hao Xu and Yanos Zylberberg.

Abstract

This paper exploits a short-lived cooperation program between the U.S.S.R. and China, which led to the construction of 156 ``Million-Rouble plants’’ in the 1950s. We isolate exogenous variation in location decisions due to the relative position of allied and enemy airbases and study the long-run impact of these factories on local economic activity. While the ``156’’ program accelerated industrialization in treated counties until the end of the command-economy era, this significant productivity advantage fully eroded in the subsequent period. We explore the nature of local spillovers responsible for this pattern, and provide evidence that treated counties are overspecialized and far less innovative. There is a large concentration of establishments along the production chain of the Million-Rouble plants, which limits technological spillovers across industries.

    - "Gender Differences in Job Search : Trading off Commute Against Wage", joint with Thomas Le Barbanchon et Roland Rathelot.

Abstract

We document that gender differences in commuting distances are substantial though decreasing over time following a similar pattern as the gender wage gap. We relate these stylized facts to supply side considerations, using a unique administrative dataset where we can match job seekers’ search criteria --- occupation, reservation wage, maximum commute, etc. --- to the precise characteristics of the jobs preceding and following their unemployment spell. Controlling finely for the previous job, unemployed women have a lower reservation wage than men and search for jobs closer to their residence. This translates into women getting lower wages and shorter commutes upon reemployment. The joint distribution of reservation job attributes and of realized job bundles allow us to identify indifference curves between wage and commute, which we find steeper for women. Through the lens of a job search model where commuting matters, we then estimate that around 10% of the gender wage gap can be accounted for by gender differences in the maximum acceptable commute, with larger contributions for married workers with children. Finally, we verify the robustness of our results using job application data, to show in particular that female workers do not receive less demand from far-away employers, confirming that most of our stylized facts are supply-side driven.

    - "Fertility and Labor Supply", joint with Simon Bensnes and Ingrid Huitfeldt.

Abstract

The child penalty is widely regarded as a main driver of the gender wage gap. To make progress on this question one needs to address the potential endogeneity of fertility with respect to labor supply. In this study we combine an event study framework with instrumental variables (IV) using the outcomes of in vitro fertilization (IVF) in Norway as instruments. We find that the endogeneity of fertility timing introduces omitted variable bias in a regular event study, while delayed fertility and intensive margin fertility responses lead to bias in regular IV estimates based on IVF treatments. Our joint approach addresses these issues by centering on the age of child rather than time since IVF, and by instrumenting first and second births. The resulting estimates show that (i) fertility has a short-lived negative effect on earnings that disappears after two years ; (ii) effects are similar for the extensive and intensive margin of fertility ; and (iii) partners are shielded from any negative effects.

    - "Lift the Ban ? Labour Market Restrictions and the Employment Outcomes of Refugees", joint with Francesco Fasani and Tommaso Frattini.

Abstract

Many countries impose temporary employment bans to recently arrived asylum seekers, a period during which take up of legal employment is not permitted. In this paper, we assess the long-term impact of such temporary employment bans on refugees’ labour market integration. To do so, we use micro-data from the European Labour Force Survey that allow identifying refugees and combine them with newly collected data on the presence and length of employment bans across European countries, from 1985 onward. We estimate DID regressions exploiting geographical and temporary variation in employment bans and find that being exposed to an employment ban at arrival reduces employment probability in the medium-run by 15%. Importantly, these effects persist over time – fading away only after about 15 years – and are non-linear in the length of ban duration. Our causal estimates are robust to a number of identification tests : a placebo run on non-refugee migrants, a triple DID where other migrants are used as the control group ; and an IV strategy based on the 2003 EU directive setting a maximum duration to employment bans. The negative impact on employment primarily comes from reduced participation, suggesting that bans may persistently push refugees out of the labour market and into welfare.

    - "Learning in Speculative Bubbles : An Experiment", joint with Jieying Hong and Sébastien Pouget.

Abstract

Does traders’ experience reduce their propensity to participate in speculate bubbles ? This paper studies this issue from a theoretical and an experimental viewpoint. We focus on a game in which bubbles, if they arise, are irrational, as in the Smith, Suchanek, and Williams (1988)’s set up. Our theoretical results are based on Camerer and Ho (1999)’s Experience-Weighted Attraction learning model. Adaptive traders are assumed to adjust their behavior according to actions’ past performance. In the long run, learning induces the market to converge to the unique no bubble equilibrium. However, learning initially increases traders’ propensity to speculate. In the short run, more experienced traders thus create more bubbles. An experiment shows that bubbles are very pervasive despite the fact that subjects have become experienced. Our estimation of the EWA model also indicates that learning is at work.

    - "Implementing (Un)fair Procedures ? Favoritism and Process Fairness when Inequality is Inevitable"

Abstract

We study allocation behavior when outcome inequality is inevitable but a fair process is feasible, as in selecting one person from several candidates for a job or award. We show that allocators may be influenced by inappropriate criteria, impeding the implementation of a fair process. We study four interventions to induce process fairness without restricting the allocator’s decisions : Increasing the transparency of the allocation process ; providing a private randomization device ; allowing the allocator to delegate to a public randomization device ; and allowing the allocator to avoid information on inappropriate criteria. All interventions except transparency have positive effects, but differ substantially in their impact.

    - "Are the liquidity and collateral roles of bubbles different ?", joint with Lise Clain-Chamosset-Yvrard and Xavier Raurich

Abstract

Recently, several papers have highlighted different mechanisms explaining that bubbles are associated to a larger growth, as it is empirically observed. Main ingredients for these results are the coexistence of heterogeneous traders and the existence of some borrowing constraints, but the bubble can have different roles like providing liquidities or being a collateral. In this paper, we introduce heterogeneous traders by considering an overlapping generations model with households living three periods. Young households cannot invest in capital, while adults have access to investment and face a borrowing constraint. Introducing bubbles in a quite general way, encompassing the different roles they can have in the existing literature, we show that heterogeneity among traders does not prevent the crowding-out effect of the bubble. However, when the borrowing constraint is binding, the bubble may enhance growth. More significantly, these results do not depend on the type and the role attributed to the bubble.

    - "Reproductive health, fairness and optimal policies", joint with J. Etner and T. Seegmuller

Abstract

Based on epidemiological evidence, we consider an overlapping generations economy in which agents differ through their ability to procreate. Households with impaired fertility may incur health expenditure to increase their chances of parenthood. This health heterogeneity generates welfare inequalities that deserve to be ruled out. We explore three different criteria of social evaluation in the long-run : the utilitarian approach, the ex-ante egalitarian criterion and the ex-post egalitarian one. We propose a set of economic instruments to decentralize each solution. To correct for the externalities and health inequalities, both a preventive (a taxation of capital) and a redistributive policy are required. We show that a more egalitarian allocation is associated with higher productive investment but reduced health expenditure and thus, lower population growth.

Abstract

This paper studies the link between anticipated migration durations and immigrants’ behavior. We develop a lifecycle model in which immigrants decide labor market participation, consumption, and investment in location-specific human capital together with the optimal length of migration. We estimate this model combining several data sets that provide unique repeated information on immigrants’ return intentions and realized return migrations. We show that the relation between return intentions and human capital investment leads to behavior- based selective return migration, and analyze how policies which influence migrants’ return decisions affect immigrants’ career profiles.

    - "The Congestion Relief Benefit of Public Transit : Evidence from Rome", joint with Martin W. Adler, Federica Liberini, and Jos N. van Ommeren.

Abstract

We estimate the effect of public transport supply on travel times of motor-vehicle and bus users in Rome, Italy. We apply a quasi-experimental methodology exploiting hourly information on public transport service reductions during strikes. We find that a 10 percent reduction in public transit supply increases the travel time of motor-vehicles users by 1.6 percent in the morning peak. The effect of this reduction on travel time of bus users is similar. The congestion-relief benefit of public transport is sizeable and bus travel time gains account for an important share of this benefit. We also estimate the effects of dedicated bus lane provision on travel times of bus and motor-vehicle users. It appears that for specific roads dedicated bus lanes reduce overall travel time, despite the lane loss, and are under-supplied from a welfare perspective.

    - "Brave Boys and Play-it-Safe Girls : Gender Differences in Willingness to Guess in a Large Scale Natural Experiment"

Abstract

We study gender differences in a sample with over 9,000 multiple-choice math tests, where in half of the questions both wrong answers and omitted questions score 0, and in the other half wrong answers score 0 but omitted questions score +1. Using a within-participant regression analysis, we find that female participants leave more omitted questions than males under both types of scoring rules, but furthermore, the gender difference gets larger when there is a reward for omitted questions. This gender difference, which is stronger among high ability and older participants, has negative consequences for females in the final score and ranking. In a subsequent survey, female participants show lower levels of confidence and higher risk aversion, which could potentially explain this differential behavior. When both are considered, risk aversion seems to be the main factor in explaining the gender differential in the willingness to guess. A scoring rule that is gender neutral begs for non-differential scoring between wrong answers and omitted questions.
