The contribution of human migration to tourism: The VFR travel between the EU28 member states
2017
This study explores the correlation between human migration and that part of tourism due to people visiting friends and relatives in a foreign country. We first compared the network structure of migration stocks and tourism flows between the 28 member countries of the European Union over the period 2000–2012. Then, we performed several econometric analyses to study the main tourism determinants and the correlations between migration to tourism. The paper derives from the discussion of the results an estimate of the contribution to the overall tourism phenomenon due to visiting friends and relatives. Complex network analysis and gravity models were the investigation methods preferred.
Beyond GDP: an analysis of the socio-economic diversity of European regions
2019
International audience; This paper aims to analyze the socioeconomic diversity of the European Union (EU-28) regions from a dynamic perspective. For that purpose, we combine a series of exploratory space-time analysis approaches to multiple Factor Analysis (MFA) applied to a large range of indicators collected at the NUTS-2 level for the period 2000–2015 for the EU-28. First, we find that the first factor of MFA, interpreted as economic development (ECO-DEV), is spatially clustered and that a moderate convergence process is at work between European regions from 2000 to 2015. Second, when comparing these results with those obtained for Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita, we show that th…
The Development and Promotion of Controlled Designations of Origin (Appellations d’Origine Contrôlées) in Burgundy: The Recognition of Terroir Wines …
2019
From the end of the nineteenth century to the first half of the twentieth century, French, and especially Burgundian vineyards will undergo profound changes with a relatively important transformation of wine production and marketing standards. Indeed, in the nineteenth century, the wine merchants are dominating the wine production in Burgundy. They buy grapes, make wines, breed and sell all the wines put on the market. However, thanks to economic and political changes affecting the sector during the last third of the nineteenth century (phylloxera crisis, overproduction, fraud, Third Republic,..), a political, legal and commercial fight led by winegrowers trade unions begins. They stick to …
Where Alonso meets Sierpinski: an urban economic model of a fractal metropolitan area
2004
International audience; La coexistence d'activités résidentielles et agricoles dans des ceintures périurbaines caractérise de nombreuses aires métropolitaines modernes. Malheureusement, peu de modèles théoriques de l'économie urbaine prennent en compte ce type de mixité spatiale. L'article contribue à combler cette lacune : les auteurs présentent un modèle de localisation résidentielle (standard en économie urbaine) opérant dans un espace structuré par la géométrie spatiale. Plus précisément, d'un côté, un tapis de Sierpinski est utilisé pour rendre compte de l'organisation hiérarchisée de sites urbains et ruraux dans une aire métropolitaine. D'un autre côté, un ménage maximise, sous contra…

Economies d'agglomération et configurations spatiales dans les espaces ruraux
1997
The question to be addressed here is that of the agglomeration/dispersion forces that are likely to account for the location of people and jobs in rural areas and the way they explain spatial patterns in rural areas depending on urban influence. Economic geography models may provide suitable tools with which to investigate the organization of rural areas. We first review these models, focusing on dispersion forces, which rest basically on land consumption and transport costs. We suggest then a set of hypotheses concerning the main forces at work in rural areas. Intensity of agglomeration economies is hypothesized to be related to the urban size, which in turn induces increasing land rents a…

La résilience : un concept pour la gestion des risques
2007
Les systemes socio naturels possedent la capacite de resister aux aleas. Les catastrophes les perturbent, mais les font rarement disparaitre. Le concept de resilience, d’origine physique, qui illustre cette capacite s’est enrichi lors de son transfert dans differentes disciplines scientifiques. Certes, la resilience est difficile a mesurer. Mais sa connaissance permet d’adopter de nouvelles formes de gestion des risques naturels ou sociaux. Ces nouvelles formes de gestion sont tres differentes des approches technologiques qui ne sont pas toujours bien adaptees au milieu ou a la societe.
L’ordinaire de la littérature. Des bénéfices pragmatistes dans les études littéraires
2008
International audience; This paper tries to examine why pragmatism, though often evoked and used in numerous academic fields, has had very little influence on French literary studies. To explain such a fact, the authors lay emphasis on the way the concept of literature was coined from romantic and structuralist elements in the French context. Doing so, they also suggest a few insights about what pragmatism could bring to literary studies and criticism, especially concerning the uses of literature, and its cognitive powers.; En dépit du reflux du structuralisme, la littérature continue d’être appréhendée à travers un prisme théorique d’obédience post-romantique, qui occulte son interaction a…
