This paper revisits the tragedy of the commons when agents have different capabilities in both production and encroachment activities, and can allocate their time between them. Under fairly general assumptions on production and encroachment technologies, an individual's expected income is convex...

In this general equilibrium model, justice and police institutions are treated as a mechanism that induces individuals to extend some desirable productive effort. This determines individual encroachment activities which in turn determine the proportion of aggregate production that fails to be...

Leaders' misbehaviors may durably undermine the credibility of the state. Using individual level survey in the aftermath of geo-localized social protests in Africa, we find that trust in monitoring institutions and beliefs in social coordination strongly evolve after riots, together with trust...

Dans un contexte d'incertitudes économiques et de précarité de l'emploi, la GPEC territoriale, visant à anticiper et mutualiser les pratiques de GPEC entre différents acteurs socio-économiques d'un même bassin d'emploi, apparaît particulièrement opportune. Cependant, bâtir...
