Climate and agriculture: empirical evidence for countries and agroecological zones of the Sahel
2022
International audience; ow heterogenous is the impact of climate change across space and the type of agricultural production? In this paper, we investigate the relationship between climate change and variability, measured by temperature and rainfall, and agricultural production at the country and agroecological zone levels of the Sahel. We consider a crop production index and five cereals (maize, millet, sorghum, wheat and rice). Based on an original climate database and an agricultural production function estimated for the period 1961–2016, we show that average rainfall and temperature during the growing season indeed have highly heterogeneous effects on agricultural production, depending …
Forecasting Passenger Traffic for a Regional Airport
2019
Abstract The purpose of the present research is estimating the potential traffic for SIA (Sibiu International Airport, SBZ) for the year 2017. Predicting as accurate as possible the passenger traffic for a certain airport is an aspect of major importance for both the airport management and the airline companies. The theoretical quality of the forecasting models for air traffic of passengers is fundamental for obtaining the most accurate predictions. In this regard, a two-step process was used in developing the traffic forecasting model: (1) Identifying the proper regression model for traffic estimation based on the number of aircraft departures, and (2) Forecasting the number of aircraft de…

Una estimacion de la funcion de produccion ces generalizada mutivariante
1980
International audience; La función de producción CES generalizada ha sido ya objeto de numerosos trabajos econométricos. Pero hay que senalar que el econometra se ha centrado principalmente en resolyer el problema bidimensional clasico, capital-trabajo, sin abordar el caso multidimensional de esta relacion técnica, a excepcion, sin embargo, de los trabajos de generalizacion del anaIisis de transformadon de BOX y COX ( 1 ). El método que proponemos aqui es una extension multivariante del procedimiento de KMENTA (2), que exige la introduccion de restricciones no lineales implicitas en los. parametros de la forma estructural del mo4elo, con el fin de garantizar las cofidiciones de identificaci…
Promoting Research and Landscape Experience in the Management of the Archaeological Networks. A Project-Valuation Experiment in Italy
2020
Archaeological sites are part of the history and identity of a community playing a strategic role on the different scales of the cultural and economic common life. Whereas on the one end the most famous archaeological sites attract huge flows of tourists and investment, on the other hand, many minor archaeological sites remain almost ignored and neglected.

ARCHITECTURE ORGANISATIONNELLE ET POLITIQUE D'INVESTISSEMENT : UNE ILLUSTRATION A TRAVERS UNE DOUBLE METHODOLOGIE EMPIRIQUE
2002
International audience; Cette recherche a pour but de tenter d'expliquer le comportement des firmes en matière d'investissement. Pour cela, elle met en évidence le rôle de l'architecture organisationnelle (répartition de l'autorité et contrôles associés) en tant que facteur explicatif de l'efficacité de la gestion des investissements. Nous testons la plausibilité de ce modèle à travers une double méthodologie reposant à la fois sur une étude qualitative et quantitative.
A Chalcedonian Debt: Observations about the Attempts to Redress the Athenian Fiscal Policy (411-407)
2022
Thucydides and Xenophon report several Athenian fundraisings in Ionia between 411 and 407. For one of them, Xenophon uses the term phoros and specifies that a backlog was due. However, the Athenians had abolished the tribute in 413 and replaced it with eikoste, a tax of one-twentieth on maritime trade. This article proposes to reexamine this well-known historical problem of the phoros reinstatement considering it through the prism of the debt in a contextualized study which leads to reassert, among others, that several tax systems were coexisting.
The effectiveness of the autoregressive models in forecasting the agricultural prices in Poland
2010
The forecast of agricultural prices is one of the most important factors in making decision on production farms. The appropriate forecast allows for limiting the risk connected with one’s economic activity. In this study autoregressive models have been used, which helped to determine the price forecast for agricultural products in the purchasing centers in the second half of 2010. To determine the quality of forecast the average ex-post errors of the past forecasts have been used. The achieved results show that autoregressive models are an effective tool in forecasting the agricultural prices in Poland.
