Chemin, M and Wasmer, E. (2009). ‘The employment effects of 35-hour workweek regulation in France: using Alsace-Moselle local laws to build a diff-in-diff’, Journal of Labor Economics October 2009, Vol. 27, No. 4: 487-524 .

France's 1998 implementation of the 35-hour workweek has been one of the greatest regulatory shocks on labor markets. Few studies evaluate the impact of this regulation because of a lack of identification strategies. For historical reasons due to the way Alsace-Moselle was returned to France in 1918, the implementation of France's 35-hour workweek was less stringent in that region than in the rest of the country, which is confirmed by double and triple differences. Yet it shows no significant difference in employment with the rest of France, which casts doubt on the effectiveness of this regulation.

Chemin, Matthieu and Etienne Wasmer. (2008). 'Regional difference-in-differences in France using the German annexation of Alsace-Moselle in 1870-1918', NBER International Macro Annuals, eds. Frankel and Pissarides, University of Chicago Press.

In this paper, we describe the historical context of local laws in Alsace-Moselle, a region of France under the control of Germany between 1870 and 1918. We provide three examples of labor policies that can be evaluated thanks to this experience: welfare laws, regulation of working time and absenteism, as well as preliminary investigations of the e¤ect of those policies. We conclude in proposing additional examples of policy evaluations that could be based on a similar strategy.

Bonjour,
Nous sommes actuellement étudiants à Sup de Co Reims et nous travaillons sur un projet pour la SARL RP Entrepreneur qui valorise la dimension humaine au sein de l'entreprise. Notre projet consiste à créer un documentaire de 8 minutes qui retrace l'évolution d'une entreprise faisant appel à un cabinet de conseil afin d'améliorer sa responsabilité societal au sein de celle-ci. En cas de réalisation de notre projet, seriez-vous éventuellement interessé pour écrire un article concernant notre concept?
Cordialement, Clémentine LESCURE
