The paper argues that the world economy might experiment inflationary pressures (or restrictive policies aimed at fighting them) when the economic depression triggered by the financial crisis is stabilized. The primary cause is that bad money has been (endogenously) delivered which did not lead...

This paper studies horizontal mergers in vertically related markets. In a two-level Cournot model, with an intermediate and a final market, we show that downstream mergers inducing size effects are, ceteris paribus, more profitable than upstream ones. Moreover, a merger at one level reduces the...

Dans cet article, nous montrons comment il est possible d'améliorer la méthodologie de l'économétrie du portefeuille en transposant les résultats de la théorie du consommateur à la théorie du portefeuille. Nous montrons la totalité des propriétés des demandes d'actifs financiers par...

On mesure le niveau académique de la recherche française en économie et en gestion des écoles, facultés et laboratoires CNRS en utilisant un critère mesurant la qualité de la recherche, l'indice h de Hirsch, et son dérivé, l'indice g d'Egghe. Nous exposons les propriétés de ces...

In this paper, we use the certain benefit function of Luenberger, which is a generalization of the notion of distributable surplus by Allais, to characterize the classical notions of willingness to pay and willingness to accept. These concepts allow us to study the transfer of one or several...

This paper deals with two elements of Thomas Kuhn (1962) ideas regarding paradigm: Depletion and resiliency. The possibility of paradigm depletion taking resilience into account, given the hierarchy among scientists, is modeled as a Stackelberg differential game between editors [leaders] and...

In a recent paper, Gary-Bobo and Trannoy introduce a model to study tuition fees as a tool to select students, in presence of asymmetric and imperfect information on the candidates' capacities. One of their main results is that if the results of the entrance test results are public, then it can...

Criticism is mounting on business schools for their excessive focus on research and for neglecting teaching. We show that if students have imperfect information about a school's overall capabilities and if business schools differ in their research productivity, the least productive schools may...
