When calibrated, the Mortensen & Pissarides [1994] is able to produce some stylized facts highlighted by empirical studies on US gross job flowa. However, other stylized facts concerning their asymmetric properties are generally neglected at the aggregate level. The aim of this paper is to test...

In this chapter, we derive Yaari's model of decision under risk in connection with Schmeidler's model of decision under uncertainty. The model is illustrated with two applications in insurance theory. Final comments concern the general Rank Dependent Expected Utility (RDEU) model.

In the first place, we present a quasi fixed-point theorem for a correspondence defined on some infinite-dimensional locally convex topological vector space such that some variables have open lower sections and the other ones are upper semicontinuous. In the second place, we propose a direct...

The model developed in this paper extends the strategic location framework under Cournot competition in order to allow for different production costs across locations.

This paper aims at measuring the robustness of Real Business Cycle international stylized facts across exchange rate regimes. I thus investigate th e impact of the Bretton Woods System and the ERM on the business cycle regularities. Thanks to bootstrap techniques, I measure the accuracy of the...

In this paper we propose two exact algorithms for solving both two-staged and three-staged unconstrained (un) weighted cutting problems. The two-staged problem is solved by applying a dynamic programming procedure originally developed by Gilmore and Gomory [10]. The three-staged problem is...

We study the differentiability of order k greater than or equal to 1 of optimal trajectories of dynamic economic models with respect various parameters like initial stock, discount rate, ... We use the framework of Babach spaces of sequences and we use Differential Calculus on operators between...

This paper investigates the stability of households' consumption behaviour in France through a prcedure of discriminating between feedback and feedforward models connected to the notions of encompassing in invariance initially proposed by Hendry (1988).
