Mikael PASTERNAK - Higher Education Expansion and Intergenerational Social Mobility: Diverging Impacts on Immigrants' and Natives' children in France
PhD Supervision: Simone MORICONI and Nadiya UKRAYINCHUK | Research axis: Economic and Financial Flows | Discussant: Claire MORRIER
Abstract: This paper examines the democratization of post-secondary studies in France, with a focus on both natives and immigrants' children. One contribution is a newly constructed dataset on higher education institutions. Combining it with individual level data, I exploit a reform of higher education expansion in France to assess the causal impact of a faculty creation on the social mobility of natives and 2nd generation immigrants. I show that the exposure to a new higher education institution during secondary school in the département increases the educational social mobility, in particular for immigrants' offspring. By defining treatments across different ages and geographical scales, I find that the effect of faculty creations is not only due to an increase in the accessibility of higher education, but also to a broader local development. However, findings on occupational social mobility are mitigated by the lower incentives for internal migration, especially among immigrant families.

Martin HULÉNYI - Growing in the Desert: A Comparative Analysis of Firms Located in EU Border Regions
PhD Supervision: Jan FIDRMUC and Nicolas DEBARSY | Research axis: Economic and Financial Flows | Discussant: Mamadou TOUNKARA
Abstract: Borders constitute a barrier that limits the development of the areas around them. In his location theory, Losch (1944) goes as far as comparing these regions to deserts, where only smaller firms that suffice with reaching a smaller market potential settle. Although the Common Market in the EU along with the Schengen Area reduce market barriers that limit the development of border regions, these areas still face barriers, arising from physical geography and institutional differences between the two countries that the border separates. In this paper, I aim to use firm-level data to analyze whether the border effect penalizes the firms settled in border regions of the EU.

Yoan WALLOIS - Climate Extreme Events and Environmental Policy Stringency
PhD Supervision: Florence HUART | Research axis: Economic and Financial Flows | Discussant: Gero DASBACH
Abstract: We use a new indicator of environmental legislation to study the evolution in intensity of legislative provisions in environmental policy. Our study covers developed and developing economies (138 countries) over half a century (1970-2020). We investigate the main determinants of trends in environmental legislation, among which extreme climate events. In particular, we examine whether the frequency of natural disasters - droughts, floods, storms, extreme temperatures, wildfires - influences environmental policy stringency. We find that countries are more likely to adopt more stringent environmental laws and regulations if there are more frequently hit by droughts and extreme temperatures, but less likely if they are more frequently hit by floods. Legislative measures differ markedly depending on regional groups of countries, types of disasters and environmental areas.

Audrey GLASS - Assessing the Impact of Healthcare Access Preferences on Health Inequality: Evidence for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Using a Discrete Choice Experiment
PhD Supervision: Sophie MASSIN | Research axis: Decision-making | Discussant: Yoan WALLOIS
Abstract: Air pollution is an aggravating factor of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Although it affects 3.5 million patients in France; this number is certainly much higher as this disease is largely underdiagnosed. Early diagnosis is important for good management and improved quality of life and the chances of survival. In this research, we use a Discrete Choice Experiment (DCE) to investigate patients' preferences regarding COPD diagnosis. In particular, we try to determine whether certain diagnostic features create obstacles. Special attention is given to how socioeconomic characteristics influence these preferences. Overall, this study aims to offer insights for decision-makers to improve COPD diagnosis.
