On the Returns to Invention within Firms: Evidence from Finland
2018
International audience; In this paper we merge individual income data, firm-level data, patenting data, and IQ data in Finland over the period 1988–2012 to analyze the returns to invention for inventors and their coworkers or stakeholders within the same firm. We find that: (i) inventors collect only 8 percent of the total private return from invention; (ii) entrepreneurs get over 44 percent of the total gains; (iii) bluecollar workers get about 26 percent of the gains and the rest goes to white-collar workers. Moreover, entrepreneurs start with significant negative returns prior to the patent application, but their returns subsequently become highly positive.
The intensity of agro-food trade between the countries of the Mediterranean basin
2012
The Mediterranean has always been an area of strategic interest for the European Union (EU), since its establishment, has woven with his partners of the South and East of the Mediterranean a dense network of relationships, by signing agreements cooperation, first, and association, then. The study aims to present an evolutionary picture of the agro-food trade network between the countries of the EU's Mediterranean partners and his neighbours in North Africa and the Near East. Using specific indicators, widely used in the economic literature that analyse trade in sectors, however, different from the agro-food, to measure the intensity of the trade. In particular, the analysis by the applicati…
The London Stock Exchange: Strategic Corporate Governance Restructuring After Demutualization
2014
International audience; This study uses the London Stock Exchange (LSE), forced to demutualize due to major changes in its business environment, notably due to increased competition and technological advances, as field experiment to study corporate governance restructuring to adapt to new market conditions. The LSE improved its financial situation after demutualization and is an example of successful corporate governance restructuring. The LSE significantly restructured the composition of its board of directors following demutualization. The number of exchange members on the LSE board decreased after demutualization while the number of independent directors increased, pointing to a more “mo…
« La crise financière et l'application des accords de Bâle : est ce le meilleur remède ? ».
2010
International audience; Afin de s'adapter à la libéralisation de la sphère financière entamée dans les années 80, marquée notamment par la fin de l'encadrement de crédit, la disparition des différentes formes de protection de l'Etat dont bénéficiaient les banques, et la privatisation de la quasi-totalité des établissements en Europe, la réglementation bancaire a évolué vers une approche prudentielle, perçue comme le seul mode de régulation n'entrant pas en contradiction avec les règles du marché. La réglementation bancaire actuelle ‘Bâle II' s'appuie sur la supervision, la discipline du marché et les ratios prudentiels, en particulier les ratios des fonds propres minimaux. La crise financiè…
La maximisation microéconomique du taux de profit
1992
National audience; Dans la théorie microéconomique traditionnelle, les firmes sont supposées maximiser le profit pur. Nous étudions ici l'impact de la prise en compte des actionnaires et d'un profit social rémunérant le capital. On montre les conséquences de l'abandon de la maximisation du profit pour considérer la maximisation du taux de profit social. Les cas de concurrence avec coefficient fixe de capital, monopole avec coefficient fixe de capital, monopole avec coefficient variable de capital sont étudiés. Les solutions fournies par les comportements de maximisation du profit et de maximisation du taux de profit sont comparées. On conclut à une réduction du volume d'investissement dans …
Notations et écarts de rentabilité : le marché français avant l'euro
2003
The main task of this paper is to confront two classical measures of default risk of the issuer, the rating and the spread. The first is attributed by agencies specialized in this activity (Standard and Poor's or Moody's) while the second results directly from the market price of the bond. This article studies this link over a period of two years for about forty French denominated bonds. Two measures of the spread are used and the results obtained show the very partial consideration of this information by the investors on the French bond market.
