LAENGLE Katharina (Paris 1, PSE) : Global value chains and labor market adjustments
Résumé
The
question how offshoring affects domestic workers has been subject to
empirical studies for decades. Many analyses based their work on
traditional trade data as a proxy for offshoring. However, these
statistics fall short in depicting intertwinings of supply chains and
how foreign production factors enter domestic production. For that
reason, this paper quantifies offshoring in terms of value added thus
allowing to trace back how much foreign capital and labor enter domestic
production. Using data from the WIOD, effects are analyzed for 14
sectors in 16 countries between 1995 and 2008. Regarding low skilled
workers, results confirm implications of the model by Grossman &
Rossi-Hansberg (2008). Accordingly, offshoring proved to positively
influence domestic low skilled workers’ wage shares, when their tasks
were moved abroad. Yet, model assumptions and the empirical setup of
this paper diverge thus question the mechanisms highlighted by GRH.
Importantly, the growing share of foreign capital in production
negatively affects low skilled workers’ wage share while positively
influencing that of high skilled. Consequently, findings suggest that
offshoring benefits high skilled workers and harms low skilled.

BANERJEE Abhijit (MIT) : How important are matching frictions in the labor market ? Experimental & non-experimental evidence from India
Co-authors : CHIPLUNKAR Gaurav
Résumé
This
paper provides evidence of substantial matching frictions in the labor
market in India. In particular, placement officers in vocational
training institutes have very little information about the job
preferences of candidates they are trying to place in jobs. In the first
part of this study, we adopt a number of methods to elicit genuine
preferences of candidates over different types of jobs. In the second
part, we find that providing placement officers with these preference
information leads to a substantial improvement in matching candidates to
jobs interviews and hence subsequent employment outcomes for up to six
months after initial placement.

YANG Li (LIP6- UPMC) : Automatic emotion recognition from physiological signals in a video game context
RIFQI Maria (LEMMA, Université Panthéon-Assas)
Résumé
We
present a multi-modal database for the analysis of human emotional
states in the dynamic context of game. Peripheral physiological signals
(ECG, EDA, respiration, EMG, temperature, pupil size), accelerometer
signals, video were recorded for 58 participants who played 3 matches of
a football simulation game (FIFA 2016) of different difficulty levels.
After each match, participants were asked to annotate events which have
triggered their emotions in terms of categorical emotions (boredom,
frustration, anger, fear, happiness) and the arousal/valence score by
reviewing the game recording. Global game experience in terms of the
level of difficulty, implication and amusement evaluation and a ranking
of the 3 matches were also collected from questionnaires. Combined with
the global game experience evaluation, the database proposes a
multi-scale view (local event scale and global match scale) for
evaluating user emotions. Methods and results are presented from a local
event view - classification of the emotional moment and no emotional
moment, emotion recognition on the emotional moment, and from a global
evaluation view - game experience evaluation. The database is made
publicly available. The proposed database is the first available one
which allows analysing the human emotional responses from physiological
signals under dynamic interactive context of game.

BENHENDA Asma (Paris School of Economics) : How to Identify Good Teachers ? Teacher Evaluations and Student Achievement
Résumé
The
fact that teachers matter for student achievement is largely
documented.Yet, identifying what makes good teaching has proven
difficult, in spite of the large amount of attention this question has
received in the last decade. In this paper, I shift the focus from the
usual observable socio-demographic characteristics to the systematic and
administrative evaluations of teachers by their hierarchy. I analyze
the three grades used to assess teachers in secondary school in France :
the certication grades, designed to assess teacher content-knowledge,
the pedagogical grade, designed to assess pedagogical skills and the
administrative grade, designed to assess administrative skills. I find
that neither the certication grades (written nor oral) nor the
administrative grade are signicantly associated with student achievement
gains. The only evaluation grade statistically significantly associated
with student achievement gains is the pedagogical grade : a standard
deviation increase in this grade is associated with a two percent
standard deviation increase in student achievement gains. This impact is
on par with replacing an average teacher with a teacher at the 40th
percentile of the teacher value-added distribution. Low income students
are more sensitive to the pedagogical grade than others.These results
has important implications for teacher training, hiring and assignment. - Texte intégral [pdf]

Job Polarization, Skill Mismatch and the Great RecessionAbstractMuch
has been written on the disappearance of routine employment both in the
long-run and over the cycle. Yet, little is known about the effects of
job polarization on the reallocation of skills and skill demand across
occupations. This paper fills the gap. Herein, I model a labor market
with three types of jobs and skill-heterogeneous agents and I estimate
its structural parameters to match solely the long-run and cyclical
decline of routine employment for periods around the Great Recession in
the U.S. Nevertheless, the model explains surprisingly well the
skill-mismatch dynamics in the data and the different reallocation
patterns across workers. In particular, it predicts that (i) 1pp decline
in routine employment -as explained by routine biased technical change
and transitory shocks- leads to a rise in skill-mismatch by 0.35pp
(0.39pp in the data) ; (ii) mismatches widen over the cycle and are
explained by movements from the top to the bottom of the job ladder ;
(iii) any wage loss from mismatch is decreasing in skills. Moreover, the
model explains 38% of the shift-out of the Beveridge curve and reveals
the factors driving the decline in matching efficiency in the
post-recession era, a phenomenon still not well explained by the
literature. The aggregate predictions of the model are validated across
states, with skill-mismatch magnified for local markets that experienced
a sharper decline in routine employment during the Great Recession.
