Rental Housing Market and Directed Search

This paper introduces new empirical findings concerning the rental housing market in the Paris metropolitan area.

Labor Policy in a Dynamic Search-Matching Model with Heterogeneous Workers and Firms

We analyse the consequences of the minimum wage on employment and sorting in a model of the labor market with search frictions, heterogeneous workers and firms, and business cycle fluctuations.

Spatial Equilibrium and Commuting Costs

This paper explores the connection between commuting costs and local employment dynamics, exploiting a spatial discontinuity introduced by a reform in France in September 2015.

Labor Income Shocks Along the Business Cycle

I explore the determinants of labor income shocks along the business cycle with a frictional model of the labor market.
