L'impact de l'activisme des fonds de pension américains : l'exemple du Conseil des Investisseurs Institutionnels
2003
Les fonds de retraite américains ont participé au développement d’une pratique appelée activisme des actionnaires. L’activisme peut être vu comme l’expression du mécontentement d’un actionnaire auprès des dirigeants d’une firme. Nous essayons de voir si l’activisme institutionnel coordonné par le CII (Conseil des Investisseurs Institutionnels) influence l’évolution future des rentabilités des actions des entreprises concernées. La manifestation de l’activisme pratiqué par ce conseil est la publication, chaque année depuis 1991, d’une liste d’entreprises connaissant des déficits en termes de performance et / ou de corporate governance. Nous utilisons la méthodologie des études d’événement po…

Modelling suburbanization (success and limits of microeconomics of cities)
2001
History of population and employment suburbanization, mainly in the United States, suggests three characteristics of the phenomenon. 1/ Suburbanization results in urban sprawl in such a way that population and employment increase more rapidly in the periphery than in thecenter. 2/ Suburbanization leads to the emergence of new activity centers in the periphery and gives rise to multicentric urban structures. 3/ Suburbanization différenciâtes the economic contents and functions of these activity centers and brings a new organization of urban centres.In this framework, suburbanization takes different forms depending of periods and regions. The emergence of centers and the transformation from m…
Localisation et endogénéité des structures d'échanges
2003
We develop a model that investigates how strategically interacting firms share a given set of spatially separated markets. We show that, for intermediate values of transport costs, the spatial distribution of firms determines the structure of interregional trade, which in return influences this distribution. Our results highlight the strong and circular link between the spatial distribution of economic activities and the endogenous structure of trade. Further, they suggest that agglomeration of firms is not necessarily incompatible with high values of transport costs. (FRE)
Educacion y agricultura a tiempo parcial
1986
The aim of this paper is to describe the phenomenon of part-time agriculture in the contemporany Spain, and to present a model explaining the allocation of farmers' work time between various activities. In the theorical framework developped here the work decisions are determined by the caractéristics of the agricultural production process, by the farmer's comparative advantage to participate in the labor market, and the amount of his stock of human capital. The empirical verification of the model is based on 1982 provincial data wich allow us to define two complementary indices of farmers' labor supply.

Convergence of prices on the pig market in selected European Union countries. Case study
2022
Due to its specificity, animal production depends to a lesser extent than plant production on agrometeorological conditions. Interdependence between the prices of animal products and climatic conditions manifests itself primarily through the fodder markets, which determine the profitability of animal breeding and keeping. The process of economic integration should contribute to a decline in price differentiation between European Union (EU) countries. In the case of the pig market, however, it is necessary to bear in mind the pig cycle, which particularly affects the supply of livestock and their prices. The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) currently implemented is not adapted to the turbule…
