    Content: This paper studies the technical efficiency of airports in Latin America. The evolution of productive efficiency in the region has seldom been studied, mainly due to lack of publicly available data. Relying on a unique dataset that was obtained through questionnaires distributed to airport operators, the authors use Data Envelopment Analysis methods to compute an efficient production frontier and compare the technical efficiency of Latin American airports relative to airports around the world. In a second stage, they estimate a truncated regression to study the drivers of observed differences in airport efficiency. According to the results, institutional variables (private/public operation), the socioeconomic environment (level of gross domestic product), and airport characteristics (hub airport, share of commercial revenues) matter in explaining airport productive efficiency. Finally, the authors compute total factor productivity changes for Latin American airports for 1995-2007. The region has implemented a wide variety of private sector participation schemes for the operation of airports since the mid 1990s. The results show that private operators have not had higher rates of total factor productivity change.

    Content: L'allongement de la vie est au centre de défis sociétaux majeurs. Que ces défis touchent à la santé individuelle ou au vivre ensemble général notamment, nous serons tous amenés à découvrir les multiples changements que ce vieillissement implique directement ou indirectement dans la vie de tout un chacun. Pour donner quelques éléments de compréhension aux personnes qui se poseraient des questions à ce sujet, les auteurs font appel aux enseignements tirés de l'enquête européenne SHARE. Depuis 2004, SHARE suit des cohortes de personnes âgées de 50 ans et + en Europe afin d'analyser les interactions entre différentes dimensions : famille, relations sociales, travail et départ à la retraite, état de santé physique et mental, conditions de vie, etc. Les informations collectées dans le cadre de ce projet ont permis la réalisation de multiples recherches, beaucoup d'entre elles interdisciplinaires, dont une sélection est présentée de manière vulgarisée tout au long des vingt chapitres composant cet ouvrage. Ceux-ci illustrent à quel point la réalité va souvent à l'encontre des idées reçues sur le vieillissement. Couplées aux nouveaux enseignements tirés de l'édition SHARE-COVID de l'été 2020, ces connaissances deviennent encore plus précieuses pour comprendre l'impact que la pandémie du Covid-19 aura eu sur la population âgée dans les pays européens. Les auteurs introduisent ce sujet dans le 21e chapitre de cet ouvrage.
    Content: The lengthening of life is at the center of major societal challenges. Whether these challenges concern individual health or general living together, we will all be led to discover the many changes that aging directly or indirectly implies in the lives of everyone. To give some elements of understanding to people who might have questions on this subject, the authors draw on the lessons learned from the European SHARE survey. Since 2004, SHARE has been following cohorts of people aged 50+ in Europe in order to analyze the interactions between different dimensions: family, social relationships, work and retirement, physical and mental health, living conditions, etc. The information collected in the framework of this project has allowed the realization of multiple research studies, many of them interdisciplinary, a selection of which is presented in a popularized manner throughout the twenty chapters of this book. These chapters illustrate the extent to which reality often runs counter to preconceived ideas about aging. Coupled with new insights from the summer 2020 SHARE-COVID, this knowledge becomes even more valuable in understanding the impact that the Covid-19 pandemic will have on the elderly population in European countries. The authors introduce this topic in the 21st chapter of this book. We hope that curious readers will find the information useful for themselves and for those around them.

    Content: For the last two decades, the increase of employment among individuals aged 50+ has been a policy objective on the European employment agenda. The present paper focuses on the case of Belgium, France, Germany, and The Netherlands over the period 1997–2011. First, we provide descriptive analysis of older workers’ employment using data from the European Union Labour Force Survey. Second, we use econometric techniques to explain the different employment and hours of work patterns for various sub-groups of older workers over time. We find evidence of catching up of older generation’s employment rates—with no rupture at the financial crisis in 2007. Third, we use micro-simulation techniques to decompose the effects of structural changes, as well as extensive and intensive labor supply changes. (Vorlage)
