DESCRIPTION:*In 1976\, Prime Minister of India\, Indira Gandhi\, initiated 
 a 6-months family planning program of compulsory sterilisations. This progr
 am targeted first men and led to 8.3 million sterilizations\, exceeding the
  government's target by 190%. These forced sterilisations could have impact
 ed intra-household bargaining and behaviour because the option of the husba
 nd to end the relationship deteriorated. In this paper\, I plan to theoreti
 cally and empirically study gender responses to this program. Collecting fi
 rst-hand historical data on the number of sterilizations prior to and duri
 ng this program\, I intend to use the difference as a measure for forced st
 erilization. I aim to observe its impact on conflict within the household b
 y using female suicide rates. Using the Indian Human Development Survey\, I
  also plan to look at the long-term local impact of this program on gender 
 norms.**Among a series of environmental measures taken in 2008\, the French
  government implemented in 2009 the half-reimbursement by the employer of t
 he public transport costs. This paper aims to estimate the effect of a decr
 ease in commuting costs on job search behavior\, using an administrative da
 tabase with information on employment and unemployment spell. I use a diffe
 rences-in-differences strategy exploiting variation in the use of public tr
 ansport at the communal level. I find that a 10% increase in the treatment 
 intensity increases the commuting distance by 3.2% and the hourly wage by 0
 .5%. The effect is stronger for women and low-paid workers. Finally\, a ske
 tch of modeling based on Manning and Petrongolo (2017) is introduced. In th
 is framework\, lower transport costs improve the accessibility of jobs but 
 can create congestion effects. The structural estimation of the model will 
 allow quantifying the different mechanisms and performing counterfactual ex
 ercises.\\n\\nContact: Kenza Elass : kenza.elass[at]univ-amu.frCamille Hain
