Using Consensus Forecasts monthly surveys, we show that experts' interest rate expectations in the Eurofranc market do … not verify the rational expectations hypothesis. Instead, these expectations are found to be generated by a mixed process …

We consider a pure exchange financial economy, where agents observe private information signals, form private anticipations and face an "exogenous uncertainty" on the future state, and an "endogenous uncertainty", on the future prices. At a sequential equilibrium, all agents expect the "true"...

La littérature contient très peu de recherches empiriques concernant les effets distributifs du système sociofiscal à l’intérieur du ménage. Nous simulons cet effet dans le cadre du modèle collectif d’offre de travail lorsque l’on passe d’une taxation jointe à une taxation...

Using French data on industrial firms over the period 1989-2001, the authors estimate a "flexible" Translog production function that accounts for the volumes and durations of factor utilization. They draw on the framework proposed by Blundell and Bond (2000), assuming that serially correlated...

Although a number of studies have demonstrated the importance of the degree of factor utilization in economic analysis, the impact of the durations of utilization in a production function remains largely unknown, particularly in terms of the duration of equipment utilization. Using French data...

Traditional structural models cannot distinguish whether changes in activity are a function of altered expectations … separating observed dynamic behaviour into movements that have been induced by changes in expectations, and responses to … expectations, that have been delayed because of adjustment costs. In these models, agents’ decisions are a function of forecasts of …

In an overlapping-generations model that represents a small open economy, where agents live two periods, liquidity constraints lead to low economic development when the only accumulable factor is human capital. In the context of multiple equilibria, an underdevelopment trap can result in which...
