“…Calmfors, Forslund, and Hemstro¨m (2001) discuss other studies on Sweden that produce similar results. Cre´pon and Dezplatz (2001) provide strong evidence that about 450,000 jobs were either created or maintained in France between 1994 and 1997 because of reductions in employers' social security contributions targeted to the hiring of low-skilled workers.…”

Using panel data for 15 industrial countries, active labor market policies (ALMPs) are shown to have a positive effect on employment rates, after controlling for institutional variables and country-specific effects. Among such policies, direct subsidies for job creation were the most effective. This paper shows that ALMPs raise employment by improving labor market functioning: higher expenditure on ALMPs is associated with lower wages for given levels of the unemployment rate. Whether ALMPs are cost-effective from a budgetary perspective remain to be determined, but they are certainly not substitutes for comprehensive institutional reforms. In particular, if higher expenditures on ALMPs are financed through increased labor income taxation, it could have deleterious effects on labor utilization.

Tax Exemptions and Rural Development *This paper uses regression discontinuity design to provide quasi-experimental estimates of the impact of a tax credit program targeted at rural areas in France, including corporate and payroll tax exemptions. We find no impact of the program on total employment or the number of businesses, and no impact of the different program components on targeted subsets of firms. Comparison with a contemporaneous urban scheme suggests ways the incentives of the rural program could be targeted more effectively. Governments across the world issue tax credits and subsidies to disadvantaged labor markets in an effort to reduce spatial inequalities. Examples of these schemes include socalled"EZ programs"like the state-level Enterprise Zone or the federal Empowerment Zone programs in the US. However, evidence on the effectiveness of EZs is mixed; moreover, these programs remain ...

“…The development of the financial markets may have benefited the most productive firms. Employment policy, and particularly the reduction of social security contributions for employees paid at or near the level of the SMIC (the minimum wage), may have led to a certain amount of substitution of labour for capital and of non-qualified for qualified labour (Crépon and Desplatz, 2001). This may have had a larger effect on the convergence of the least productive firms given their greater dependence on less well qualified labour.…”

Convergence of Firm-Level Productivity, Globalisation, Information Technology, and Competition: Evidence from France

Studies of firm-level data have shown that there is a huge dispersion of productivity across firms even when industries are narrowly defined. So there is a significant opportunity for the least productive firms to catch up to the most productive. The formers' convergence could therefore constitute an important part of productivity growth at the macroeconomic level. This article sheds light on this convergence process in the 1990s and the 2000s in France and on some of the factors which can explain it. Productivity convergence was stronger for labour productivity than for total factor productivity. But most importantly the speed of convergence has slowed during the course of the 1990s, a fact which is explained principally by the acceleration of the productivity of firms on the technological frontier. Three possible explanations of these stylised facts are considered: globalisation, information technology, and competition. Globalisation and information technology may have benefited the most productive firms more and the growth of competition may at the same time have stimulated the productivity of firms at the frontier while discouraging the convergence of the least productive firms.
