Claude Ponsard (1927-1990) .Un essai biographique
1991
Il est toujours extrêmement difficile de résumer la vie d’un homme que l’on a croisé à une époque particulière de sa propre existence et dont on a partagé les enthousiasmes et les déceptions jusqu’à dépasser cette relation du maître à l’élève dont l’alchimie est si particulière, si délicate qu’il serait présomptueux d’en amorcer ici l’explication. Il s’agit néanmoins d’un fait, objectif, brut : le regard que nous allons poser sur l’homme et sur l’oeuvre n’est pas libre de tout sentiment. Nous avons admiré l’esprit, la ténacité, la rigueur scientifiques de celui dont nous avons aimé l’humanité, l’exigence et la chaleur. La difficulté de la tâche réside précisément en la construction d’une bi…
Information asymmetries and supplier induced demand (an economic study for the french market)
1990
The supplier induced demand hypothesis relies on the existence of information asymmetry between the physician and his patient. This asymmetry confers a discretionary power on practitioners who are using it in order to satisfy their own interest. The inducement effect is identified and distinguished from the other consequences of information asymmetries in the health care system, i.e. moral hazard and adverse selection. A controversy is generated by the induced demand hypothesis which constitutes a challenge to the assumption of the independence of supply and demand and, therefore, contradicts standard neoclassical predictions. The role of empirical studies is important in this respect. An e…
Réalité qualitative et analyse économique spatiale
1991
Les termes qualitatif et quantitatif ne s’opposent pas. Ils caractérisent des approches du réel ni antinomiques, ni exclusives. Ils entretiennent des relations très complexes que nous essaierons de simplifier. A quel propos faut-il parler de qualitatif et de quantitatif ? Faut-il situer le problème au niveau de la nature de ce qu'on observe (les phénomènes), au niveau de la façon dont on agit (la politique) ou au niveau de la manière dont on essaie de comprendre la réalité (méthodes d'analyse)? Nous avons délibérément écarté les deux premiers niveaux pour nous consacrer à l'examen du qualitatif dans les méthodes d'analyse de la science régionale. La première section est consacrée à une tent…
Banking Crises and Short and Medium Term Output Losses in Emerging and Developing Countries: The Role of Structural and Policy Variables
2012
The aim of this paper is to assess the dynamic impact of banking crises on output for a panel of developing economies. Using an unbalanced panel of 159 countries from 1970 to 2006, the paper shows that banking crises produce significant output losses. Output losses are larger for relatively richer economies, characterized by a higher level of financial deepening and larger current account imbalances. Flexible exchange rates, fiscal and monetary policy, and liquidity support policies have been found to attenuate the effect of the crises. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.
Venture Capitalists' Decision to Syndicate.
2006
International audience; Financial theory, access to deal flow, selection, and monitoring skills are used to explain syndication in venture capital firms in six European countries. In contrast with U.S. findings, portfolio management motives are more important for syndication than individual deal management motives. Risk sharing, portfolio diversification, and access to larger deals are more important than selection and monitoring of deals. This holds for later stage and for early stage investors. Value adding is a stronger motive for syndication for early stage investors than for later stage investors, however. Nonlead investors join syndicates for the selection and value-adding skills of t…
Uncertainty and cross-border banking flows
2019
Abstract While global uncertainty—measured by the VIX—has proven to be a robust global “push” factor of international capital flows, there has been no systematic study assessing the role of uncertainty in driving bilateral capital flows. This paper examines the effects of higher country-specific uncertainty on cross-border banking flows using data from the Bank for International Settlements Locational Banking Statistics. The bilateral structure of this data allows disentangling supply factors from demand factors, thereby helping identify the effect of higher uncertainty on cross-border banking flows from other confounding factors. The results of this analysis suggest that: (i) uncertainty i…
Les cliniques privées en Algérie : logiques d’émergence et stratégies de développement
2015
Cet article analyse le contexte et les strategies individuelles qui ont prevalu a l’emergence d’un secteur hospitalier prive en Algerie. Il montre que le developpement des cliniques privees en Algerie a eu lieu dans un contexte macroeconomique contraint et dans le cadre d’un systeme de sante dysfonctionnel qui ont interagi avec les attentes et les comportements des fondateurs des cliniques. Ces fondateurs repondent a des motivations financieres, mais aussi a des objectifs d’autonomie professionnelle. Ils combinent diverses strategies afin d’augmenter le volume de leur patientele, notamment la constitution de reseaux formels et informels.

How endogenous asymmetries in interregional market access trigger regional divergence
2005
We investigate how asymmetric trade patterns in differentiated products affect the regional distribution of economic activities. The asymmetry in interregional market access is an endogenous result of price competition and industry location and arises for intermediate values of trade costs. We show that the emergence of one-way trade in differentiated products gives rise to strong agglomeration forces and leads to the absorption of the smaller region's industry by the larger region. The number of spatial equilibria increases once the pattern of trade is endogenously accounted for. (c) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
Time allocation during Higher education : a study of Brazilian, French and Spanish students
1995
International audience; The results we present enable us to highlight common features and disparities in the way students from the three countries organize their time. While the lecture attendance time varies little from one country to another, it is different for other elements of time use. The Spaniards in particular seem to spend more time on personal work and the Brazilians more often have paid employment. The initial comparison should however be regarded as provisional in that no systematic correlation was made with educational policies in each country. Certainly, the lack of grants system in Brazil is linked to the significant amount of available time spent on salaried work but it wou…
