DESCRIPTION:*This paper analyzes how public employment service agencies ada
 pted to the Covid-19 crisis in France. This crisis constituted an unprecede
 nted organizational shock\, combining a sharp increase in the number of job
 seekers followed and exceptional constraints\, making the rapid development
  of remote support indispensable. Using administrative data from Pôle empl
 oi between 2017 and 2024\, I study the effect of agency overload on their c
 apacity to maintain support activities : counseling\, guidance\, training a
 nd measures facilitating return to employment. While questioning the nature
  of the relationship between overload and performance : are the effects lin
 ear\, or do we observe temporary adaptation mechanisms and "defensive produ
 ctivity" under moderate overload ? The analysis compares heavily overloaded
  agencies to very lightly overloaded ones. It also identifies the most affe
 cted actions\, the most resilient ones\, and the differences in recovery ti
 me across action categories. The empirical strategy relies on difference-in
 differences models\, exploiting variations in overload intensity across age
 ncies and the pre-crisis level of digitalization as a potential shock-absor
 bing mechanism.**This paper examines how environmental quality affects fert
 ility decisions and its joint implications for economic dynamics and pollut
 ion evolution. We develop an overlapping generations (OLG) model in which l
 ongevity\, fertility\, and economic growth are jointly endogenous\, while i
 ncorporating healthdamaging pollution. The government finances\, through la
 bor income taxation\, two types of public expenditures: public health spend
 ing and abatement policies\, both of which contribute to increasing life ex
 pectancy and sustaining long-run economic growth. We show that the global d
 ynamics of the model converge to a unique steady-state equilibrium. We then
  analyze the role of fiscal policy and find that a reallocation of public r
 esources toward environmental protection at the expense of health expenditu
 res produces contrasting effects depending on the relative magnitude of pro
 duction-related pollution intensity versus the efficiency of abatement tech
 nologies. Indeed\, in a highly polluting regime where abatement technologie
 s are inefficient\, such a reallocation traps the economy in a vicious circ
 le characterized by low longevity\, high fertility\, low per capita capital
 \, and high aggregate pollution. In contrast\, in a transition regime where
  abatement technologies are efficient\, environmental policy becomes a key 
 driver of sustainable growth\, characterized by a demographic transition (l
 ow fertility and high longevity) together with simultaneous improvements in
  economic performance and environmental quality. Finally\, we show that the
  income tax acts as a catalyst for the demographic transition: it transform
 s an economy characterized by high fertility and low life expectancy into o
 ne with low fertility and high longevity. This mechanism is entirely mediat
 ed by the increase in longevity\, distinguishing it from traditional channe
 ls studied in the economic literature\, where taxation directly affects fer
 tility through disposable income and the opportunity cost of having childre
