(JOB TALK) No blood in my mobile: regulating foreign suppliers
Can developed countries enforce that goods consumed domestically do not contribute to human and environmental rights violations in developing countries where they are sourced? This paper studies how global trade reacts to new due diligence policies, which constrain firms in developed countries to prevent human rights violations involvement of their foreign suppliers as much as possible. I study the US Dodd-Frank Act Conflict Mineral Rule (2010), a law targeting specific conflict minerals extracted in D.R.C. and adjoining countries. I study the consequences on source countries’ trade integration. Comparing targeted bilateral trade flows to non-targeted products and exporters within the structural gravity framework, I find that this policy decreased D.R.C. and adjoining countries’ exports in value of 3T products by 70%. However, this new type of extraterritorial law has unintended consequences: I estimate that 38% of exports are diverted to opaque countries, called legal havens after the law is implemented. Looking at US firms’ reactions, I show that sales are negatively affected, while administrative costs increase at the time of the law.

Les Scop et la fabrique de l'intérêt collectif
Les Scop, sociétés coopératives et participatives, sont des entreprises qui appartiennent à leur personnel salarié. S'y élabore ainsi une définition originale du capital : lié au travail, attaché à l'entreprise et à sa territorialisation, indépendant des actionnaires extérieurs. C'est sur les conditions sociales d'appropriation de ces dispositifs que porte la recherche. A partir de la présentation d'une enquête auprès de Scop contrastées, on cherchera à rendre compte de la diversité des rapports à la propriété collective et des conceptions de l'intérêt collectif

Imperial Politics, Open Markets and Private Ordering: The Global Grain Trade (1875-1914)
From the 1870s onwards, global commodity markets were all governed by self-standing private bodies, typically controlled by elite merchants. The London Corn Trade Association thus standardized supply from across the world, turning grain into a fungible commodity; it arbitrated disputes; and it offered to traders a range of standard contracts that integrated the value chains, from the various export harbors till destination. Enforcement rested on market power and the threat of blacklisting: the Association had remarkably little relations with officials of any sort, in Britain or abroad: public administrators, judges, diplomats or army officers.
This gave to thus private market a strong extra-territorial character: few merchant houses in the world could afford being expelled from the London market. Ultimately, however, this private trading platform worked under English law exclusively and it was upheld by both the London courts and the Bank of England. It was both global and local, and hence a full part of Britain’s imperial project. It policed a global network of private commercial routes while mediating the demands for market integration and the sheer diversity of the global political geography. Rule-based market power should thus be seen as a specific factor in Britain’s economic supremacy, together with relative geopolitical might, productivity levels or capital exports for instance.

The Curious Incidence of Monetary Policy Across the Income Distribution
We use high-frequency German administrative data to study the effects of monetary policy on income and employment across the earnings distribution. Earnings growth at the bottom of the distribution is substantially more elastic to policy shocks. This unequal incidence is driven by differences in the response of employment risk across the distribution: job loss is more countercyclical for lower-earnings households. Viewed through the lens of a standard incomplete-markets model, the heterogeneous incidence substantially amplifies the equilibrium response of aggregate consumption to shocks.
