Effet établissement, effet classe ... Portée et limites de l'approche externe mise à l'oeuvre à l'IREDU
1996
School effect, class effect : a discussion of the external approach implemented at Iredu (Research institute on economics of education). A survey conducted by the Iredu (Research institute for education economy) endeavours to have the school effect and the classroom effect evaluated externally. On the basis of empirical statements on schooling, evaluation, orientation issues, a methodological analysis of the notion of school effect is conducted and backed up by a concrete example of orientation at the end of the second and fourth year in secondary school. Then, students results allow the study of teacher effect and teacher practice efficiency. Then, a discussion and intepretation of results…

The Italian version of the Depressive Experiences Questionnaire (DEQ): psychometric properties and a contribution to validation on students, communit…
2017
The current study evaluated the psychometric properties of the Italian validation of the Depressive Experiences Questionnaire (DEQ), conceived as a measure of self-criticism and dependency, i.e. two personality factors acting, according to Blatt (2004), as risk factors for depression in particular and psychopathology in general. A series of standardized measures [Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II), DEQ, Symptom Checklist-90-R (SCL-90-R), Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory, 3rd edition (MCMI-III)] was administered to three samples (i.e., students, community and clinical). Factorial validity was evaluated along with convergent and predictive validity. In order to evaluate the reliability…
Agglomeration Externalities and the Productivity of Italian Firms
2015
Despite the richness of contributions on the effects of agglomeration on economic activity, the empirical evidence still falls short, especially at the microeconomic level, where they should matter the most. This paper adds to this literature by performing an empirical exploration of the role of Marshallian, Jacobian, and Porterian externalities for the productivity of Italian firms. In particular, a large dataset of small and medium enterprises is first employed to estimate firm-level total factor productivity (TFP). Then dynamic panel and instrumental variables estimation methods are used to assess the effects of agglomeration externalities. The findings seem to suggest that these effects…
Financing in SMEs: Case of the Baltic States
2014
Abstract Access to finance represents one of the most significant challenges for SMEs’ entrepreneurs. To ensure SMEs creation, existence and growth it is vitally important to understand the financing needs of SMEs and entrepreneurs, the main obstacles to finance availability and accessibility. The study indicates the difficulties in SMEs financing for the three Baltic States and provides the governments and other stakeholders with a tool to understand SMEs’ financing needs. The study results highlight importance of alternative resources of external financing for small developing countries such as the Baltic ones and the need to support the design and evaluation of policy measures and to mon…
The strategic role of external sustainability assessment in the food value chain
2014
Purpose: This research seeks to shed more light on how external sustainability assessment in the food value chain could achieve a more significant strategic impact, as most organizations fail to implement sustainability measures beyond marketing efforts. A model is proposed that aims to clarify the understanding of the process, including the influence of the actors and the way they are affected. Design/methodology/approach: The topic is initially approached rather broadly from the perspective of performance measurement and management due to a lack of relevant literature, creating the link to sustainability and its assessment in a second step. Nine essential themes are developed from the the…
Practicing Ballot Secrecy : Postal Voting and the Witness Requirement at the 2019 Finnish Elections
2021
Electoral rights belong to the core of citizenship in democratic nation-states. Voting, then, represents an actualization of the relationship between the citizen and the political community. For citizens living outside the country in which they are eligible to vote, voting signifies a rare institutional connection to the country of origin. The aim of this article is to explore the introduction of the postal vote, a new form of voting for external voters at Finnish elections, from the grassroots perspective. The study focuses on how a central policy concern, safeguarding ballot secrecy, was resolved in the policy implementation by the witness requirement, and how the individual voters subseq…
Le développement des médias sociaux. Proposition d'un modèle de diffusion intégrant les externalités de réseau dans un cadre concurrentiel
2011
International audience; La fréquentation des médias sociaux est très concentrée. L’intérêt de ce type de sites résidant dans la richesse du contenu élaboré par les participants, ce phénomène peut être en partie expliqué par les externalités de réseau. Afin de démontrer cet effet dans un cadre concurrentiel, cette recherche propose un modèle de diffusion intégrant le principe de l’attachement préférentiel issu des recherches en réseaux complexes. Ce modèle est analysé au travers d’une simulation et appliqué à 51 médias sociaux dans trois secteurs différents. Les résultats montrent que l’ajout de l’effet d’attraction menée par la taille relative du réseau social explique mieux la diffusion qu…
The mediating role of vulnerability factors in the association between attachment and internalizing/externalizing problems
2015
Recent research indicates that secure attachment is a protective factor against the development of internalizing / externalizing behavioral problems (Laible et al., 2000), while the role of insecure attachment is more controversial, raising the question of potential mediating variables (Brumariu & Kerns, 2010). In literature it emerges how Blatt’s two-configurational model (self-definition and relatedness) correlates on the one hand with the attachment (Luyten & Blatt, 2011; Mikulincer & Shaver, 2007), and on the other with the internalizing / externalizing spectrum (e.g. Campos, Besser, Morgado, & Blatt, 2014). This research has explored the mediation effects of relatedness (dependency) an…
