La construction d’une sanction: Le cas des pénalités de retard dans les centres de loisirs de la commune d’Asnières-sur-Seine

Abstract: This paper presents a natural experiment where a French city decided to fine parents who pick up their children late in municipal day-care centers. After five months of implementation of this scheme, contrary to the findings of Gneezy and Rustichini (2000a), the number of delay has been significantly decreased. We attribute this difference to three specific features of the French city sanction system: 1/ it has not been imposed top-down but built after implication of all stakeholders, including parents (involved in a working group); 2/ Communication towards parents in order to justify the fine focused on non-financial elements such as the problems that delay induce for day-care centers personals rather than on the financial costs of delays; 3/ the fine is proportional to the length of the delay and to the income of the parents and, in extreme cases, there is the possibility to exclude children.
