Cf. Jean-Jacques Rosa, ‘Les effets du Smic sur l’emploi des jeunes: une analyse bien confirmée,’ Politique Économique, October 1985. This study modifies an earlier OECD analysis that eliminated such effects by introducing a trend factor in youth unemployment that does not have a particular economic justification.
