## Academic works
### Immigration

D'Albis has worked on the macro-economic impacts of immigration in France. With Boubtane and Coulibaly, he produced evidence that suggests that non-European migration has a positive impact on economic growth. Most notably, he showed the positive impact of family migration and migration of women. He is also working on the measurement of migration flows.

### Intergenerational transfers

D'Albis is the director of the French team of the National Transfers Accounts, an international project that decomposes by age the variables of the National Accounts. This project permits comparisons across generations. D'Albis has provided evidence suggesting that the standards of living of recent French generations has not fallen compared to previous generations.
