PUBLICATIONS A Collective Model of Female Labor Supply: Do Distribution Factors Matter in the Egyptian Case? with Catherine Sofer (Paris School of Economics, France) Université Paris 1 Panthéon Sorbonne, mimeo. Abstract. This paper examines the intrahousehold ressource allocation in Egyptian married couples and its impact on females labor supply. Using data from the Egyptian Labor market and Panel Survey of 2006, we estimate a discrete-choice model for female labor supply within a collective framework. The economic model incorporates the possibility of non-participation for females which represents the working situation of more than 70 percent of Egyptian married women. The originality of this paper consists on testing new distribution factors, i.e., a set of exogenous variables which influence the intrahousehold allocation of resources without affecting preferences or the budget constraint. The latter are variables related to the marriage market, gender attitudes, domestic violence, direct access to the household income and participation in household decision making. Identification of the model relies on the assumption that only some parameters of the utility function are identical for single and married females. We find significant relations between females bargaining power and labor supply decisions. This study's results has important policy implications.

Rethinking the Redistribution Effects of Trade Liberalization in Egypt: A Microsimulation Analysis with Chahir Zaki (Paris School of Economics, France) Document de travail CREST. Abstract. This paper aims at evaluating the Liberalization policies effects on inequality in Egypt with respect to gender, region and qualification level. No previous studies in Egypt, to our best knowledge, have used the Microsimulation analysis which is a good tool that allows such an evaluation and determine the redistribution aspects of Macro Policies. The latter consists on linking macroeconomic changes to the micro level of the economy i.e. the individual level. A Computable General Equilibrium model (CGE) is firstly estimated for a maximum tariff rate of 10%. And,

3 wages and employment changes resulted from the CGE are replicated, in a second stage, into our micro data. Results show that Liberalization policies have important impacts on inequalities among the Egyptian population in general. Inequality has decreased among males and females as well as among different regions of the Egyptian society but has increased among high-skilled and lowskilled workers. Results of the present research have important policy implications that have to be considered. Keywords: Micro-simulation, trade liberalization, inequality, gender, Egypt. JEL classification: D22, J01, J16, F15 Marriage and Time Use Patterns of Egyptian Females French version submitted (in revision). WORK IN PROGRESS Egyptian Married Women Don t Desire to Work or Simply Can t? A Duration Analysis Abstract. The present research aims at exploring the extremely biased division of labor within households in order to better understand the low participation rates of Egyptian women. Time activities in respect of paid and unpaid work are an important aspect of this study. The classical dichotomy of \work in the market" versus \leisure" may serve as a good approximation of the role the male plays in the production activity of the household but does gross injustice to the female since it overlooks the whole time she spends, outside the market, on domestic activities. Relying on a descriptive analysis, we analyze the main features and determinants of Egyptian females' time uses. Time use profiles are constructed using the Egyptian time use data available, only for females, from the Egyptian Labor Market and Panel Surveys of 1998 and One major objective of this study is to estimate a multi-state multi-spell duration model in order to evaluate the impact of marriage on employment transitions of Egyptian women. Different states are considered in the analysis: Inactivity, Unemployment, Work in the Public sector and work in the Private Sector. Thanks to the duration analysis that allows to better understand how marriage affects women employment choices over time. Keywords: Duration analysis, Time Allocation, Marriage, Employment, Egypt. JEL classification: D13, J16, J22, C41. Are marriage and fertility endogenous in the female labor participation decision? Evidence from Egypt with Ragui Assaad (University of Minnesota, Humphrey Institute of Public Affairs, USA). Abstract. Relying on a structural model, the present research explores the endogenous relationship between fertility, the timing of marriage and females' participation decisions. Labor participation is modeled as a polychotomous variable that distinguishes between different status. Rural and urban females are studies separately. And, empirical results are compared with those obtained on Moroccan data. Keywords: Fertility, Marriage, Labor Participation, Endogeneity, Egypt. JEL classification: J12, J13, J16, J22, N37
