Paris Migration and Demographic Economics Seminar (PMDES)
The Paris Migration and Demographic Economics Seminar is a monthly seminar series which usually takes place on Wednesdays, from 4:30pm to 7:00pm at the Paris School of Economics, 48 Boulevard Jourdan, 75014 Paris.
The aim of this seminar series is to provide a forum to discuss high-quality empirical and theoretical research on migration and demographic economics.
Most sessions include a presentation by an international scholar and another from a researcher in the Paris area. Some sessions will be organised as short workshops with more than two speakers.
The organizers are Hillel Rapoport, Hippolyte d’Albis and Benjamin Michallet

- AbstractThe dramatic rise in wealth inequalities has generated debates on the oppor- tunity to tax wealth (Piketty, 2014; Garbinti et al., 2017). Increasing housing prices are to a great extent driving these widening wealth disparities. This pa- per explores the potential redistributive impact of taxing imputed rents, usually exempted from income taxation. We estimate tax savings and their distribu- tion between households in France exploiting the fiscal simulator developed by Landais et al. (2011). We find that while net imputed rents represent 7% of national net income, their non-taxation is a hidden fiscal spending (i.e. tax expenditure) amounting up to 11 billion euros yearly. This shows non-taxation to be the largest public spending directed to home owners, benefiting mostly the oldest and wealthiest households. Substituting property tax with imputed rents taxation could favor the youngest and the poorest households, who went through a steady decline in their homeownership rate over the last decades.

- DUSTMANN Christian (UCL) : Labor Market Effects of Immigration – Identification and Interpretation
- joint with Sebastian Otten, Uta Schönberg and Jan Stuhler
- AbstractThis paper revisits the literature on the effects immigration has on native wages and employment. We show that the regional employment effect as identified by prior studies can be decomposed into an individual displacement effect, a reallocation effect, and a crowding out effect. Exploiting quasi-experimental variation in the supply of foreign workers across German regions, we document that the individual displacement effect on existing workers constitutes only a small fraction of the regional effect. We then document a similar identification problem in the estimation of immigration’s effect on wages, distinguishing the effect on the regional wage from its effect on the price of labor that abstracts from compositional changes induced by workers entering or leaving a region exposed to immigration. While the short-run effect on the price of labor is negative, the impact on regional wages is negligible. These results suggest that prior studies on cross-sectional data offer only limited insights into two central questions: how immigration affects the price of labor, and how immigration affects the labor market outcomes of native workers.
