Crépon B., Jacquemet N. Econométrie : Méthodes et Applications.

De Boeck Universités, Collection « Ouvertures », A paraitre.

 

Ce manuel offre une présentation complète et approfondie des techniques économétriques les plus utilisées dans la pratique, allant du modèle linéaire et ses extensions aux techniques non-linéaires de traitement des données discrètes et censurées. Pour ce faire, les techniques présentées, et démontrées, sont systématiquement illustrées par des exemples sur données réelles  ou la présentation de travaux de recherche consacrés à l'évaluation des politiques publiques (économie du travail, économie industrielle, etc). Un certain nombre de chapitres est en outre spécifiquement consacré aux outils d'évaluation des politiques publiques: estimateurs par différence, méthodes de score. Le parti pris de cet ouvrage est de mettre les problèmes d'identification au centre de la démarche économétrique. Un accent particulier est donc mis sur le lien entre la modélisation théorique, la spécification économétrique et la nature des données.   L'ouvrage s'adresse ainsi non seulement à des étudiants de fin de premier cycle ou de deuxième cycle en économie, gestion ou école de commerce, mais également aux professionnels souhaitant approfondir leur connaissance des techniques mobilisées dans l'utilisation de l'économétrie à des fins d'évaluation.

Compensation, Incentives and the Practice Patterns of Physicians: Theory and Evidence from Microdata.

with B. Fortin and  B. Shearer.

Abstract: In this paper, we specify and estimate a structural model in order to analyse the effect of various payment systems on physicians' practice behaviour both at the extensive margin (hours and weeks of work, number of clinical services) and the intensive margin (time spent per service). Our model also distinguishes between clinical and non-clinical (e.g., management, teaching) activities. To estimate the model, we exploit a unique data set containing labour supply information and payment records for every specialist physician working in the province of Quebec, Canada, during 1996-2002. Importantly, our sample spans a period during which the government changed the way in which specialists were paid. While before 1999, most specialists were paid under a fee-for-service (FFS) system, the government introduced a non-mandatory mixed remuneration (MR) scheme (i.e., a per diem plus a FFS system at a reduced rate) in 1999. Physician preferences are described with a direct translog utility function and the choice set of each physician is discretized. The model is estimated using a mixed logit approach. Our results, applied to the sub-sample of surgeons, indicate that those who choose the MR system reduce the volume of their clinical services but increase their time spent per unit of service, which may involve a quality/quantity substitution.

The Reliability of the Bertrand Curse: An Experimental Investigation of Leniency Programs for Underground Work.

with J-L. Rullière.

Abstract: In this paper, the demand for underground work of all producers competing on the same output market is analyzed simultaneously. We first show that competition drastically undermines the individual benefits of tax evasion. At equilibrium, each firm nonetheless chooses evasion with a positive probability. Since this probability is strictly lower than one, this Bertrand curse could account for the fact that models focusing on individual incentives to evade overpredict evasion (often called the ``tax evasion puzzle''). We thereafter assess whether denunciation could solve the Bertrand curse. Allowing firms to denunciate competitors' evasion in fact provides a credible threat against price cuts, hence fostering illegal work. As a result, reducing the cost of denunciation through leniency clauses appears as an highly counter-productive device against underground work. Empirical evidence from a laboratory experiment confirms those predictions.

Marriage Matching with collective labor supply

with J-M. Robin.

Abstract: In this paper, we integrate the recent developments in the analysis of household labor supply into a search model of marriage. Following Shimer and Smith (2000), matching on the marriage market is assumed time-intensive and, as in the original model of Becker (1973), is driven by output from the match. We explicitly introduce labor supply in the model by (i) linking the output from the match to the productivities (wage) of the partners and (ii) assuming collective labor supply inside the resulting household. Based on numerical simulations, the theoretical analysis assesses whether the standard result of positive assortative matching still holds when the output from the match is both endogenous and non-transferable. We specify and estimate an econometric model of search to test the predictions. The data we use come from the 1996 wave of the SIPP. By reconciling those two strands of literature, our model accounts for some well-documented stylized facts on both marriage patterns - such as the declining age gap between spouses, the rise in wage inequalities inside households or changes in home production technologies - and recent trends in the labor market - e.g. changes in female labour supply and gender wage gap. Policy implications range from the economic consequences of, among others, active policies aimed at sharing care responsibilities for children, targeting social benefits on one spouse rather than the household as whole or promoting female labour supply.
