415:"The Spending and Debt Response to Minimum Wage Hikes" (2012), with Daniel Aaronson and Sumit Agarwal. They find that immediately following a minimum wage hike, household income rises on average by about $ 250 per quarter and spending by roughly $ 700 per quarter for households with minimum wage workers. Most of the spending response is caused by a small number of households who purchase vehicles.
409:"Industry Dynamics and the Minimum Wage: A Putty-Clay Approach" (2018), with Daniel Aaronson, Isaac Sorkin and Ted To. They develop a model of industry dynamics based on putty-clay technology, which is consistent with the documented response of the restaurant industry to minimum wage hikes.
412:"The Effect of Disability Insurance Receipt on Labor Supply" (2016), with Jae Song. The paper estimates the effect of disability insurance on labour supply. It is shown that 30% of denied applicants and 15% of allowed applicants work several years after a disability determination decision.
432:"Medicaid Insurance in Old Age" (2016), with Mariacristina De Nardi and John Jones. They estimate a structural model of savings and medical spending. They use it to compute the distribution of lifetime Medicaid transfers and Medicaid valuations across currently single retirees.
418:"The Minimum Wage, Restaurant Prices, and Labor Market Structure" (2008), with Daniel Aaronson and James MacDonald. The paper introduces a model of employment determination that investigates the empirical increases in restaurant prices in response to minimum wage hikes.
435:"Medical Spending around the World: Summary of Results" (2016), with Elaine Kelley. The paper estimates the patterns of medical spending in nine countries – Canada, Denmark, England, France, Germany, Japan, the Netherlands, Taiwan and the United States.
441:"The Effects of Health Insurance and Self‐Insurance on Retirement Behavior" (2011), with John Jones. This paper provided an empirical analysis of the effects of employer‐provided health insurance, Medicare, and Social Security on retirement behaviour.
429:"End-of-life medical spending in last twelve months of life is lower than previously reported" (2017). French collaborated with 27 other economists to measure the composition and magnitude of medical spending in the last three years before death.
438:"Medical Spending on the U.S. Elderly" (2016), with Mariacristina De Nardi, John Jones and Jeremy McCauley. They use data from the Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey (MCBS) to document the medical spending of Americans aged 65 and older.
421:"The Effects of Health, Wealth, and Wages on Labor Supply and Retirement Behavior" (2005). French estimates a life cycle model of labour supply, retirement, and savings behaviour in which future health status and wages are uncertain.
444:"Why do the elderly save? The role of medical expenses" (2010), with Mariacristina De Nardi, and John Jones. They construct a model of saving for retired singles that includes a mix of different medical expenses and life expectancy.
