Résumé anglais Some thoughts about measuring the impact of transfer payments on individual behavior: some reflexions, by Jean- Claude Ray. With transfer payments now reaching a level of some 1,300 billion francs, can we still assume that they produce no macroeconomic effect? Can the individual data now available (household surveys, social-security files) provide a better understanding of the impact of specific benefits on households behavior? This article is based on the studies carried out for the past seven years by a small team of researchers at the University of Nancy II. Their findings show the opportunities for analysis in this area. The author stresses both the difficulties involved and the value — for economic and social policy-making— of incorporating transfer payments into models of individual behavior.
