L'objectif de ce travail est d'ameliorer l'estimation des fonctions de gains en tenant compte du caractere endogene de l'education et des biais de selection. Une premiere partie traite de la necessite du recours a un estimateur a variables instrumentales lorsque le capital humain acquis a...

We derive the asymptotic sampling distribution of various estimators frequently used to order distributions in terms of poverty, welfare and inequality. This includes estimators of most of the poverty indices currently in use, as well as estimators of the curves used to infer stochastic...

We analyze the effect of a constant debt policy on capital accumulation and provide an indepth treatment of the dynamics in the economy of Diamond. We derive the conditions for avoiding a debt crisis in both the short-run and the long-run and provide geometrical tools to analyze the issue of...

Lorsque le question de valorisation utilisee dans la methode d'evaluation contingente prend la forme d'une question fermee, le modele econometrique adequat est un modele a choix binaire. Dans cet article, nous presentons un modele a choix binaire tenant compte d'une heterogeneite par groupes de...

The purpose of this study is to compare the performances of three different weighting schemes for a currency basket in terms of relative stability in the tunisian economy. The three alternative policy peg are: (1) a trade-weighted currency basket, (2) the basket suggested by Lipshitz and...
