The aim of this study is to highlight the characteristics of corruption and non-academic behaviour in higher education. Using data series recorded at a representative student sample we emphasise causal relationships between certain components of corruption and aspects of academic behaviour in...

This research seeks to explore some aspects of how control operates as a package of control practices (Malmi and Brown 2008 ; Ahrens & Chapman 2007 a, Chenhall 2003). Given the pervasiveness of technology use today, we aim at developing an approach that takes into account the role of technology....

Devant la complexité à laquelle est confronté l'utilisateur d'Internet, les agents intelligents se présentent comme un recours. Il y a deux faces à l'intelligence d'un agent: l'une tournée vers l'accomplissement d'une mission, et l'autre tournée vers les objectifs qu'il s'agit de...

Given a process with independent increments X (not necessarily a martingale) and a large class of square integrable r.v. H = f(X T ), f being the Fourier transform of a finite measure μ, we provide a direct expression for Kunita-Watanabe and Föllmer-Schweizer decompositions of H. The...

The assumption of linearity is implicitly accepted in the process which generates a time series condition submitted to a ARIMA. That is why, in this paper, we shall discuss the research of long memory in the processes: the fractional ARIMA models, denoted as ARFIMA, where d and D, the degree of...

The reversibility phenomenon in the repeat-sales index is a serious obstacle for derivatives products. This article provides a solution for this problem, using an informational reformulation of the RSI framework. We present first a theoretical formula (simple, easy to interpret, and easy to...
