Notes
The editors thank these institutions as well as all the participants at the Lyon conference. We are particularly grateful to Boris Gobille for his help in organizing the conference.
In May 2008, the Institut national de la statistique et des études économique showed that the French are particularly pessimistic about their standard of living and about the possibility that their personal financial situation could improve in the short term – the lowest level since 1987. See Le Monde, 28 May 2008.
