520 $a The French government recently passed two laws mandating a reduction in the standard workweek from 39 to 35 hours with the express objective of increasing employment through work sharing. The reduction applied first to firms with more than 20 employees, and later to firms with 20 employees or less. A regression discontinuity framework is used to compare changes in hours, wages and employment in firms with just above 20 employees to those in firms just under this threshold. Results show that working hours at firms subject to the law became 2 percent lower than at firms just under the threshold. As a result of collective agreements passed between firms and labor unions, monthly wages did not adjust downward; this amounted to a 2 percent increase in hourly wage. The number of employees at firms that had to comply with the new standard became approximately 0.4 percent lower than at firms just under the threshold. This finding contrasts with the expectation of higher employment at firms subject to the reduction if work sharing had been effective.
520 $a The third chapter of the dissertation addresses a different question: when a new law modifies the punishment for certain crimes, should an act committed before the law change be judged under the statute in effect at the time of the facts, or under the new statute? This chapter provides a deterrence-based rationale for the application of the most favorable law to the accused, which is the rule in many---but not all---legal systems. The main argument is that when individuals do not have a good foresight of the law change, applying the less severe sentence to acts already committed has little effect on crime, and has lower enforcement costs. This chapter also shows why applying the most favorable law may not be desirable for procedural matters, definitive judgments and cases of transitional justice.
