In persuasion games, it is well known that a perfectly revealing equilibrium may fail to exist when the decision maker is uncertain about the interested party\'s payoff-relevant information. However, by explicitly integrating higher order uncertainty into the information structure, this paper...

La fonction d'utilité de l’ homo oeconomicus est synonyme d'absence d'interactions sociales entre agents économiques et d'indépendance des préférences individuelles. Ce postulat d'utilité, dite absolue, est l'objet de nombreuses vérifications empiriques basées à la fois sur des...

We propose an empirical application of lattice models to actual household-level data based on the generalized method of moments. We take advantage of the two dimensional structure of panel data to construct a lattice specification. Then, a class of nonparametric, positive semidefinite covariance...

We designed an experiment on voluntary contribution to a public good with interior solution. The treatment variable is the equilibrium level of contribution. We observe that the verage overcontribution rate (cooperation) is affected by the equilibrium level of contribution. Overcontribution is...

This paper examines the consequences of university patenting by using an original source of information: The point of view of French academic inventors, i.e. French university professors who are also inventors of European patents. Via a survey we collected information about 280 French academic...

We study experimentally the outcome of a 50 periods repetition of a two-player coordination game, which admits two-pure strategy Nash equilibria that are Pareto-ranked: a payoff-dominant equilibrium and a risk-dominant equilibrium. The experiment consists of a 2x3 factorial design, with two...

Dans cet article, nous proposons une analyse cliométrique de la contribution de l’essor des enseignements pratiques et modernes à la croissance économique en France et en Prusse de 1870 à la veille de la première guerre mondiale. Dans une perspective historique et institutionnelle, notre...

Cet article analyse les résultats d'une étude de l'impact économique d'un pôle universitaire sur son territoire local. L'université est, en effet, une structure consommatrice directe de biens et services, pouvant induire un impact significatif sur l'économie locale. Son impact direct...

The objective of this paper is to propose a coherent articulation of the different determinants of school-to-wok transition identified by economic theories. The method consists in arranging these determinants in the framework of a dynamic optimization micro-economic model. The proposed model...

The paper provides fresh empirical evidence on the relative role of changes in final and intermediate demand as affecting the changes in the sectoral structure of advanced economies. These latter have led, over the last three decades, to the massive growth of service sectors. The paper draws...
