We consider the cost of providing incentives through tournaments when workers are inequity averse and performance … envy depending on the costs of assessing performance. More envious employees are preferred when these costs are high, less … à la mesure de la performance. Lorsque ces coûts sont élevés, le principal préférerait des travailleurs plus envieux; à …

We attempt to answer the following questions: What are the revaluation effects and the impact on performance … liberalization across firms. Large firms tend to exhibit large revaluation effects, insignificant change in performance, large …, improved performance, smaller decline in volatility and decreases in correlation after liberalization. These results hold after …

This paper investigates the relationship between organizational fit and performance. More specifically internal … between the level of internal coherence and firm performance is assessed in the specific context of SMEs. Results derived from … a particular form of theoretical approach based on fit as gestalt suggest that fit and performance must be interpreted …

We develop a spatial model of energy exploitation where energy sources are differentiated by their geographic location … and energy density. The spatial setting creates a scaling law that magnifies the importance of differences across energy … plays must first boom and then bust. For both renewable and non-renewable energy sources we link the size of exploitation …

by analysing the consequences of becoming an exporter on a firm's energy consumption. We show both theoretically and … relatively large quantities of fuel decrease their energy use after exporting, perhaps by adopting more fuel-effcient technology …

export destinations of Europe and rest of the world (ROW) to establish whether a firm adjusts its energy use in response to a … decision to start exporting to a more (Europe) or a less (ROW) regulated destination. Although on average, no energy … adjustments are found for these destinations, focusing on the most polluting industries or the most energy-intensive firms reveals …

environmental policies that affect prices and energy demand are mainly effective in directing innovation by small specialized firms …

This paper describes the energy sector in the Mediterranean and MENA (Middle East and North Africa) countries. It first … analyses the production of energy by fossil and renewable sources and discusses the increasing demand in the area and its … consequences. It describes the policy frameworks to promote renewable energy as well as fossil-fuel subsidies, which are still …

This paper studies energy bias in technical change. For this purpose, we develop a computable general equilibrium model … that builds on endogenous growth models. The model explicitly captures links between energy, the rate and direction of … solution in which only technologies are developed that are appropriate for production of non-energy intensive goods. …
