We introduce an AK spatial growth model with a general geographical structure. The dynamics of the economy is described by a partial differential equation on a Riemannian manifold. The morphology interacts with the spatial dynamics of the capital and is one determinant of the qualitative...

An increasing literature encourages the use of selective immigration policies as a tool to promote incentives to education. It is argued that, since not everybody is allowed to migrate, under these policies a poor country may well turn out with more human capital than in autarchy. The implicit...

This study uses the findings of a correspondence testing in order to assess separately the potential effects of North African origin and Muslim and Catholic religions at job access level in the real estate sector. We constructed 6 jobseekers profiles, each representing a particular situation...

The Taylor principle is quite usually considered as a central condition for price determinacy. Recently, however, this has been questioned on several grounds, notably because (i ) this condition is a condition for local determinacy, not global determinacy (ii ) it has been derived in...

The aim of this paper is to examine whether the development of waste recycling activities can be a source of economic fluctuations. We assume that the recycling sector has four fundamental characteristics. (i) The production factors are restricted by the production of the last period. (ii) These...

The paper provides a continuous-time version of the discrete-time Mitra- Wan model of optimal forest management, where trees are harvested to maximize the utility of timber flow over an infinite time horizon. The available trees and the other parameters of the problem vary continuously with...

This study uses the findings of a test carried out by correspondence in order to assess separately the potential hiring effects of North African origin and signaling of employment and unemployment in the French construction sector. We constructed four jobseeker profiles, each representing a...

In the deterministic context a series of well established results allow to reformu- late delay differential equations (DDEs) as evolution equations in infinite dimensional spaces. Several models in the theoretical economic literature have been studied using this reformulation. On the other hand,...

We study the compatibility of the optimal population size concepts produced by different social welfare functions and egalitarianism meant as “equal consumption for all individuals of all generations”. Social welfare functions are parameterized by an altruism parameter generating the...

This paper aims at analyzing the relationships between teamwork, autonomy and individual evaluation interviews. Within an agency model with teamwork, we show that a production technology characterized by strong horizontal interdependencies and super-modularity does not ensure coordination within...
