Public Economics: Social Insurance, Redistribution and Environmental Issues

Recent work has borne on:

  • The redistribution of gains from trade in a context of international trade, following : "Peut-on toujours redistribuer les gains à la production et à l'échange: un retour en pointillé sur Ricardo et Heckscher-Ohlin", (1998) Revue Economique, 49, 3, p. 555-57
  • These considerations lead as well to the foundations of factor price equalization, reexamined in a recent paper with Ivar Ekeland (below).

  • environmental issues associated with the greenhouse effects have been discussed in two scientific papers below.
