This paper investigates the relationship between the creation of new firms and the properties of the local knowledge bases, like coherence, cognitive distance and variety. By combining the literature on the knowledge spillovers of entrepreneurship and that on the recombinant knowledge approach,...

In this note we make a comparison between the class of monotonic TU cooperative games and the class of superadditive TU cooperative games. We first provide the equivalence between a weakening of the class of su- peradditive TU games and zero-monotonic TU games. Then, we show that zero-monotonic...

Sur un plan général, le domaine de la couleur est très largement défriché. Il est d'autant plus surprenant de constater que les couleurs n'ont fait l'objet que de très peu d'investigations dans le domaine du marketing et plus spécifiquement dans celui du marketing international. On...

To market a new network technology effectively, manufacturers need to understand the structure and size of network effects associated with the product. If consumers' surplus from adoption depends positively on the number of interconnections in the network, early adopters may need to be...

We investigate the potential of structural changes and long memory (LM) properties in returns and volatility of the four major precious metal commodities traded on the COMEX markets (gold, silver, platinum and palladium). Broadly speaking, a random variable is said to exhibit long memory...

Estimation of bivariate fractionally cointegrated models usually operates in two steps: the first step is to estimate the long run coefficient (\beta) whereas the second step estimates the long memory parameter (d) of the cointegrating residuals. We suggest an adaptation of the maximum...

By one hand, the nature of money influences the objects, the objectives and the methods of production and consumption. On the other hand, the distribution of money influences human behaviors, the supply and the demand of goods, and hence their prices. Today, the banking sector enjoys the...

We argue in this paper that labor market institutions, and more particularly employment protection (EPL), are an important determinant of migration. Using a bilateral migration database, we empirically show that the employment protection di fferential has a negative impact on bilateral ows....

We explore the link between cyclical and smooth resource exploitation. We define an impulse control framework which can generate both cyclical solutions and steady state solutions. For the cyclical solution, we establish a link with the discrete-time model by Dawid and Kopel (1997). For the...

: MOISE est une méthodologie de gestion de la connaissance qui comporte une étape de spécification de la connaissance, laquelle distingue la connaissance statique de la connaissance dynamique. Cette étape met en œuvre un langage de représentation de la connaissance graphique (LRC) qui...
