Divorce Legalization and Marital Investment
écrit avec Sekyu Choi (University of Bristol)
With the 2004 Civil Marriage Act, Chile is to date the last country to make divorce legal. The new law established women’s right to child support and financial compensation for home production during marriage. While previous literature associates easier divorce with lower investment in marriages, we find preliminary evidence that marriage rates and fertility were positively affected by the law which also reduced female labor supply and assortative matching, with important disparities by schooling attainment. These patterns suggest that marital investment was risky for women in the event of informal separations and that child support, alimony, and the option to remarry provide insurance against that risk, making marriage more appealing.

‘Do I get my money back?’: A Broader Approach to Inequality and Redistribution in France With a Monetary Valuation of Public Services
écrit avec with Jean-Marc Germain and Michaël Sicsic
Who benefits from public transfers after paying taxes? This paper develops an extended approach of redistribution, allocating 100% of national income and transfers between various categories of households. We complete Piketty, Saez, Zucman (2018) with a new micro-founded methods to monetize and allocate in-kind transfers and collective public services in France. We find that 60% of households are net beneficiaries of extended redistribution. The impact of redistribution on attenuation of inequalities is two times larger than with the usual monetary approach, with a major role for health and education. An analysis over age groups highlights a “tragedy of horizons”: 90% of individuals over the age of 60 receive more than they pay, mainly via retirement pensions and health, versus less than 50% for those under the age of 60. Other types of analysis, such as family, gender, geographic area or social class, confirm the importance of the extended approach to properly assessing redistribution.

Behavioral interventions to promote adherence to clinical guidelines
The talk will discuss some insights from a yearlong research project analyzing the use of behavioral science to improve clinicians’ prescriptions and adherence to clinical guidelines, in particular : What is the potential for nudges to improve guideline adherence ? What can we learn from successful and failed interventions ? How should we design RCTs for evidence-based policies ? And what are the next challenges for behavioral interventions ?
