réponse aux fermetures d’entreprise en Argentine », Revue Économique, 65, pp. 537-566. CNRS #2.
Cet article a pour objectif d’étudier le rôle de la famille comme mécanisme d’assurance lorsqu’un
choc touche le revenu du travail du pourvoyeur principal du ménage. En incertitude, le modèle du
cycle de vie prédit qu’un tel choc a un impact positif sur l’offre de travail de son conjoint. Données
de panel à l’appui, nous testons l’existence de cet « effet travailleur additionnel » (ETA) lors de
la récession argentine. L’endogénéité inhérente aux variables inobservables et à la simultanéité
des décisions des deux époux est contrôlée en introduisant des effets fixes individuels, et en
utilisant les fermetures d’entreprise comme un choc exogène négatif de revenu. Le modèle est
estimé par différence de différence avec appariement. Le motif stratégique rend compte de 12,5%
de l’augmentation totale de la participation féminine. Une femme a 13 points de pourcentage de
chance supplémentaire d’entrer sur le marché du travail si son conjoint perd son emploi. A la
marge intensive, la participation reste inchangée.
Job Market Paper
{ Martinoty, L. (2015) « Intrahousehold Coping Mechanisms in Hard Times: the Added Worker
Effect in the 2001 Argentine Economic Crisis », GATE WP 2015-05. Imminent submission to World
Development (CNRS #1).
This paper shows that the added-worker effect (AWE) plays an important role in coping against
aggregate shocks, even in cases where the discouragement effect prevails at a macroeconomic scale.
Using an Argentine panel dataset between 2000-2002, we instrument the endogenous variation
in the labor market outcomes of household heads using the collapse of the convertibility era as
a natural experiment, and measure its causal impact on their spouses’ labor supply decisions.
Within this framework, we show that a woman whose husband experiences the average decline in
income (resp. looses his job) is 4.4 percentage points more likely to enter the labor market (resp.
43 percentage points). Out of four new entrants, three work at least one hour weekly, and one
even finds a full time job. Heterogeneous effects are in line with expectations, robustness checks
support the validity of our empirical strategy, and our results are robust to various sensitivity
tests.

{ « Crisis at Home: Martinoty, L. and O. Bargain (2015) « Mancession-Induced Change in Intrahousehold Distribution ». Submitted to the Journal of European Economic Association (CNRS
#1).
The Great Recession has often been referred to as a ‘mancession’ in several countries including
Spain and the US. Although women did experience substantial job losses during the recession,
the crisis hit men harder than women for they were disproportionately represented in heavily
affected sectors such as construction, manufacturing and financial services. To date, nothing is
known about the way the mancession has translated within the household. More generally, we
know little about how labor market opportunities affect intrahousehold distribution. To study
this issue, we exploit the exogenous, gender-oriented evolution of the economic environment in
Spain. Using consumption data from 2006-2011, we adapt and estimate a collective model of
consumption which allows testing original distribution factors. In particular, we allow the sharing
rule to depend on regional-time variation in relative job opportunities during the mancession.
Looking more specifically at the gender-differentiated shock from the construction sector, we also
4/5
suggest a difference-in-difference estimation originally embedded in the structural model. We
find that the mancession strongly impacts the way the resources are shared within the household.
On average, following the improvement of their relative opportunities on the labor market, the
resource share accruing to Spanish wives increased by around 5-6 percent in stable marriages. in
magnitude, this effect is higher than the distributional impact of actual husbands’ unemployment.
The difference-in-difference estimates confirm that most of the effect is driven by the construction
sector.
{ « Initial Conditions and Lifetime Labor Market Outcomes: The Persistent Cohort Effect of Graduating
in a Crisis ».
The recent literature on industrialized countries highlights a persistent or even permanent
penalty of graduating in a bad economy. Is there such a thing as a ’lucky’ cohort in developing
countries? How many years of experience on the labor market are requested to compensate
for the initial wage penalty of graduating in a depressed economy? A combination of factors
– a higher volatility of the business cycle, coupled with an embryonic social safety net and a
deeply divided two-tier labor market – suggests that emerging economies should be particularly
concerned with the ‘cohort effect’, namely, the fact that graduates from a same cohort statistically
have a common fate on the labor market. Using EPH data between 1995-2012, I focus on a
subsample of active working age males born in Argentina, who graduated between 1995 and 2011.
Similarly to studies on industrialized countries, I find that initial poor economic opportunities
do matter for future labor market outcomes. While mandatory school graduates are affected
quantitatively through a persistently lower employment probability lasting up to ten years after
completion, high school and college graduates are penalized by a permanently lower wage rate
indicating that the qualitative content of the task is lower. When accounting for the endogeneity
of schooling decisions with respect to the business cycle, the persistent effect is even higher.
Moreover, the intricate pattern of correlations between initial conditions upon graduation and
the current characteristics of the job suggests that for college graduates, the wage gap depends
on a long-lasting differential in task-specific human capital related to an initial mismatch in skills
at first placement. For mandatory school graduates, the fundamental duality of the Argentine
labor market explains why individuals are durably trapped into bad quality contract types. In
both cases, between-firm mobility seems to play a strategic role in the progressive catch-up.
Ongoing work
{ « Natural Disasters and Environmental Concerns: the Case of the 2013 Flood in Germany », with A.
Avdeenko (Universitaet Mannheim) and C. Krekel (DIW Berlin)
In early June 2013, persistent and heavy rainfall in Central Europe led to the worst flood
in Germany during the last decade, causing widespread destruction in many areas of East
and South Germany. This paper investigates the effects of the 2013 flood in Germany on
people’s environmental perceptions, in particular on their concerns about climate change and
environmental protection, using panel data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP)
for the time period between 2012 and 2013 and a novel data set on flooded areas that makes
use of geo-referenced satellite images. Using a difference-in-difference design and exploiting
exogenous variation between households and flooded areas, we show that the flood did not only
affect people’s environmental concerns in flooded areas, but also had a nation-wide impact.
Preliminary results indicate that the flood increased the share of individuals that are very
concerned about climate change and environmental protection by about 7% nation-wide. This
share is slightly higher in flooded areas.
