The Persistence of Urban Decline: Evidence from France's Largest Coal Basin
écrit avec Hans Koster (VU Amsterdam)
Urban decline and urban growth are not two sides of the same coin. When local positive shocks occur it typically leads to an expansion of the building stock, but when negative shocks hit, the existing building stock persists. We use the history of coal production in France's largest mining basin as a source of exogenous variation in negative economic shocks. The geological delimitation of the basin and the placement of large-scale housing developments in close proximity to mines provide us with the opportunity to exploit very local spatial variation to identify the causal determinants of urban decline. We show that housing prices today drop by 11% when entering the mining basin. About 40% of this gap can be attributed to lower housing quality, with the remaining portion being ascribed to spillover effects. We proceed by setting up a dynamic spatial equilibrium model to disentangle the impact of spillovers and housing quality in determining the persistence of urban decline. Our model matches key moments in the data and predicts a protracted period of decline persisting for several decades before reaching a long-term equilibrium.

: Intergenerational Discounting and Inequality
We study theories of justice that disentangle normative views on intergenerational discounting and intergenerational inequality. Any modular social welfare function is uniquely identified by a time-discounting function---capturing attitudes across generations---and an aggregator function---capturing attitudes towards inequality. The rich choice of such functions allows our theories to include the most common welfare criteria adopted in the literature as special cases and unveils yet unexplored families of alternative criteria. Our axiomatic characterization clarifies the properties and limits of disentangling discounting and inequality.

Globalization and the urban-rural divide in France
écrit avec F. Mayneris and D. Verdini
This paper investigates whether globalization has led to an economic decoupling between urban and rural areas in France. Specifically, we examine whether local labor markets in large urban areas have become more globally connected while weakening their domestic economic ties. To address this question, we calibrate a structural model using extensive administrative data from 1995 to 2015, capturing key linkages across French local labor markets. These linkages arise through competition in goods and labor markets, input-output relationships, and firms' ownership networks. Contrary to popular concerns, our findings reveal no evidence of urban-rural economic decoupling over the period, nor any significant impact of globalization on this relationship.

Lost in Aggregation: The Local Environmental and Welfare Effects of Large Industrial Shutdowns
The clean energy transition and large-scale deindustrialization have caused major changes in the industrial landscape of many high-income economies. This paper investigates how closures of large industrial facilities in Germany affect surrounding communities. By exploiting quasi-random variation in the timing of facility shutdowns, I analyze the neighborhood-level effects of these closures using data at the 1km x 1km grid cell level. I find that shutdowns of industrial sites lead to significant improvements in environmental amenities as represented by air quality. These environmental benefits, however, do not capitalize in increasing housing prices – a result that contrasts with existing evidence for the US context. Instead, neighborhoods affected by industrial closures experience substantial local downturns, with average household income dropping by 4% in the most affected neighborhoods. The resulting total annual income loss attributable to facility shutdowns amounts to e0.7 - e1.9 billion. Using a simplified model of neighborhood choice, I further show that the net amenity effects of industrial shutdowns do not balance the negative effects on income and housing prices. These findings have important implications for place-based policies in the context of significant structural change. Additionally, using
the newly assembled granular data, I reveal biases from the ecological fallacy in previous assessments of environmental inequality in Germany and show that there exists significant inequality in the exposure to fine particulate matter across the income distribution.

Optimal Allowance with Limited Auditing Capacity
We analyze the mechanism-design problem of a principal allocating amounts of a perfectly divisible good to $n$ agents, each of whom desires as much of the good as possible. The principal has an ideal allocation for each agent, which is private information held by that agent. The principal has access to an auditing technology that allows her to perfectly uncover the private information of any $k$ ($

Migration policy backlash, identity and integration of second-generation migrants in France
Do integration policies that require migrants to demonstrate allegiance lead to more or less integration into the host society? In this paper, we study the effects of a symbolic change in birthright citizenship rules in France on the integration of second-generation immigrants. We exploit an exogenous reform that required second-generation immigrants to declare their willingness to become French as a condition to naturalize. Adopting a Difference-in-Differences approach, we show that, contrary to its stated aim of fostering a greater sense of belonging, this symbolic policy led to a loss of national identity and an increase in perceptions of discrimination among the target group. We document that these effects are not driven by changes in naturalization rates or an increased general hostility. We also show that while the reform did not affect their economic or political integration, it did reduce their cultural integration. Overall, rather than promoting integration, such migration policies can lead to a backlash
