Ce travail définit la notion de processus entrepreneurial dans un cadre évolutionniste. Il apporte un éclairage sur la formation de la firme et de l’organisation. En ouvrant la « boîte noire » du processus entrepreneurial, nous montrons que ce mécanisme peut être découpé en étapes...

In this paper, we say a few words about the context, role and classification of Origin-Destination (O-D) matrix determination procedures, with a view to situating existing research streams within a common framework. We distinguish between O-D matrix derivation approaches and proper O-D matrix...

In their paper on Best-Reply Matching (BRM), Droste, Kosfeld & Voorneveld (2003) obtained quite intuitive results for the centipede game. In this short paper we first show that these results derive from the application of their criterion to the reduced normal form of the game. Then we prove that...

The main objective of this article is to study how central banks and fiscal authorities interact when they conduct the economic policy. Specially, it seems very helpful to specify if this two policymakers act under complementary or substitutability strategy. Our methodology is based on a simple...

The Tragedy of the Commons refers to the dissipation of a common- pool ressource when any appropriator has free access to it. Under the behavior of absolute payoff maximisation, the common-pool resource game leads to a Nash equilibrium in which the resource is overexploited. However, some...

This article addresses the following question: How to deal with uncertainty, emergence of new information and irreversibility in the decision process of the long-term disposal of radioactive waste? Intuitively, one might think that measures taken today are more relevant when they are ‡exible....

· This paper investigates the impact of the European Union’s Emission Trading System (EU ETS) at a firm level. Using panel data on the emissions and performance of more than 2000 European firms from 2005 to 2008, we are able to analyse the effectiveness of the scheme. · The results suggest...

In almost common value auctions, even a very small private payoff advantage is usually supposed to have an explosive effect on the outcomes in a second- price sealed-bid auction. According to Bikhchandani (1988) and Klemperer (1997) the large set of equilibria obtained for common value auction...

In this paper, I compare the OLS and IV estimators for the direct and reverse regression models in the context of estimating returns to scale and technical progress. It shows that the direct and reverse OLS estimators are inconsistent, that the direct OLS is always more precise than the reverse...

L’article utilise un modèle à générations imbriquées pour analyser les effets d’une relance budgétaire mise en oeuvre dans une union monétaire par un gouvernement qui doit tenir compte de la nécessité de réduire ses dépenses publiques dans le futur conformément à une règle de...
