Labour supply and workforce

The aim of this paper is to assess the associations between income poverty, family instability and cognitive development in early childhood.

We develop an empirical search-matching model with productivity shocks so as to analyze policy interventions in a labour market with heterogeneous agents.

We find that higher minimum wages are associated with significantly lower hiring and layoff rates.

We investigate the effect of studying abroad on international labour market mobility later in life for university graduates.

This paper reviews the literature on social monility in the light of possible policies for intervention.

This is the final paper of a study aimed at building capacity for the distributional analysis of tax reforms in Mexico and other similar middle‐income countries.

This report looks at the costs and benefits associated with young people's drug and alcohol treatment.

This paper documents the key stylised facts underlying the evolution of labour supply at the extensive and intensive margins in the last forty years in three countries: United-States, United-Kingdom and France.
