We study the mechanisms of intergenerational inequality among Italian lawyers over the period 1994- 2014 using a longitudinal dataset that combines administrative and survey data. We first estimate a 17.5% earnings premium for a law family background within the group of lawyers, so conditional on entering the profession. We then exploit the 2003-20...
Ce Working paper prolonge et actualise l'article de Ducoudré, Heyer et Plane (2015) qui analysait les premiers effets du Crédit d'Impôt pour la Compétitivité et l'Emploi (CICE) sur l'emploi et les salaires en utilisant des données trimestrielles par branche fournies par les comptes nationaux. Ce travail s’inscrit dans le débat sur l'évaluation du C...
L'objectif de cet article est de mettre en évidence des effets potentiels du CICE sur l’économie française sur la période 2014-2015t2, à partir de l’information fournie par les comptes nationaux trimestriels par branche. Partant d’une analyse économétrique en panel, nous cherchons à savoir si le CICE a eu des effets sur l’emploi, les salaires et le...
This paper shows that returns to parental background increase along the sons' distribution in four EU countries. Although this indicates a common mechanism, substantial differences in returns’ steepness question the one-model-fits-all story.
This paper investigates the influence of parental education on the returns to experience of Italian men using a new longitudinal dataset that contains detailed information on individual working histories. Our favourite panel estimates indicate that an additional year of parental education increases sons' weekly wages by 11.7% after twenty years of ...

We introduce an empirical framework for models of matching with imperfectly transferable utility and unobserved heterogeneity in tastes. Our framework includes as special cases the classic fully- and non-transferable utility models, collective models, and settings with taxes on transfers, deadweight losses, and risk aversion. We characterize equili...
We provide a quantitative exploration of business cycles in a frictional labor market under contract-posting. The steady-state random search and wage-posting model of Burdett and Mortensen (1998) has become the canonical structural framework for empirical analysis of worker turnover and equilibrium wage dispersion. In this paper, we provide an effi...
We propose an integrated framework to discuss the empirical literature on the local determinants of agglomeration effects. We start by presenting the theoretical mechanisms that ground individual and aggregate empirical specifications. We gradually introduce static effects, dynamic effects, and workers' endogenous location choices. We emphasise the...
The authors investigate the impact of exogenous product market competition shocks on returns to skills in Italy using a new longitudinal dataset on individual working histories. This impact is identified using three exogenous shocks affecting competition: the unforeseen devaluation of the Lira in 1992, its return to a fixed exchange regime in 1996 ...
