I don't think we should be missing the forest for the trees. Yes, because of historical reasons, _technically_ "magistrat" refers specifically to magistrates from the judicial branch and not all judges [0]. This is surely int

Note that the court in question is the Conseil d'Etat. Cour de cassation is completely irrelevant here.

Teaching ressources (i.e. prof/TA time) are limited. The question is therefore not whether lecturing is useful or where does it fit in the overall learning process, but whether those limited hours of prof/TA time are better spent

The issue is that there are too many cars (including pollution, congestion, noise), not that there is not enough transit - or at least this is a separate issue. If you could multiply by 10 the number of people using public transport withou

The French higher education system is such that a lot of business students come from somewhat math-heavy undergraduate programs: 9h hours of math class plus one hour of one-on-one oral examination for 2-3 years.

Isn't the job thing _easier_ if you live in a denser town? If you have more jobs per km² you're less likely to need to move when you switch job.

I am not sure everybody would agree with that statement. Some might say academia exist to do research that extend humanity's knowledge, whether there's a financial reward or not.

I don't think so, are you sure? The Conseil d'Etat has two distinct roles (and thus two distinct branches): - serving as the supreme court for the administrative "order" - as a judge, the CE does not check if laws are co

Is it so different in practice? Landmark decisions ([0], [1]) set precedent. The conseil constitutionnel has ruled that its precedent is binding [2]. In fact the majority of current constitutionnal law in France was willed into "consti

And the “is this law constitutional?” part is done by the Constitutional council, which is not quite a court. And there’s a second Supreme Court (Conseil d’État) anyway. Quite different from the US.

It's quite simple I think: 1. for any given budget, there is no Pareto-improving reallocation: if you want to give more money to someone, then the money has to come from someone else. 2. given the current complexity, there are a _lot_

I think you will find the CAE note on inheritance taxation quite interesting: https://www.cae-eco.fr/staticfiles/pdf/cae-note069s.pdf . Note the the top 0.1% of individuals, who receive on average 13M€ over their l

If you look at the effective inheritance tax rate (ie tax paid on actual money flow from dead people to inheritors), even the top 0.1% of all inheritance is around a 10% rate. See figure 2 in https://www.cae-eco.fr/staticfil

In France, the tax is not on the amount of restate but on the inherited income, ie each kid gets taxed on his share. So if there are n kids, the amount of tax paid is n T(K/n), not T(K). Since T is progressive (convex), n T(K/n) &
