L'apport du sentiment de l'investisseur dans l'explication des crises boursières : Une analyse en données de panel

2011

Un debat tres anime portant sur le lien entre les aspects comportementaux des investisseurs et les marches financiers s’est largement developpe au cours de la derniere decennie. La presente etude teste l’impact du sentiment de l’investisseur sur un panel de marches boursiers internationaux. Nous etudions l’influence du sentiment de l’investisseur sur la probabilite de survenance des crises boursieres.

Struggle over joint audit: on behalf of public interest?

2012

International audience; European Commission (EC 2011) has recently suggested joint audit - broadly defined as an audit where two independent auditors are jointly liable for the audit report - as a way a way to increase audit quality after the financial crisis and to mitigate audit market concentration, by enlarging the audit offer. Big 4 audit firms have fought this proposal by arguing its unbearable cost while 2nd Tier audit firms have supported it by arguing its added quality. This conflicting position leads us to question their claim of public interest concern. As group-interest economic regulation theories predict that the absence of any effect of a new regulation (here: joint audit) is…

Les effets de la livraison à domicile sur l'accès aux produits alimentaires: le cas des grandes surfaces alimentaires et des cybermarchés de l'aire u…

2012

International audience; L’accessibilité des populations aux Grandes Surfaces Alimentaires (1) (GSA) est différenciée selon les espaces. Alors qu’au cœur des villes, les urbains peuvent accéder à pied à une offre diversifiée, les périurbains et les ruraux doivent parcourir plusieurs kilomètres en voiture pour accéder au supermarché le plus proche (Motte-Baumvol, 2008). Si une très grande majorité de périurbains n’éprouvent pas de difficultés, certains y font face plus difficilement tels que les ménages sans voiture, les personnes âgées ou les familles avec des enfants en bas âge. Pour ces ménages, la livraison à domicile, notamment à partir de la vente en ligne, peut constituer un moyen d’am…

Dimensions fractales et réalités périurbaines. L'exemple du Sud de Bruxelles

2004

This exploratory paper aims at showing how the fractal dimension can be used to characterise the spatial structure of built-up areas within the periurban fringe. The southern periphery of Brussels is considered here. Two estimation techniques (correlation and dilation) are applied to surface areas, and one (correlation after dilation) to the borders of built-up areas. They are applied to windows of fixed size. Fractal dimensions are then compared with traditional socio-economic and morphological indicators. The results are interpreted in the context of urban sprawl and polycentric development of the peripheries. These analyses confirm the usefulness of the fractal approach for describing bu…

Activity Report of the French Transport Geographers

2007

International audience; The 2007 Répertoire des Géographes Français shows 97 geographers (on a total of 2084 listed people) working in the transportation field. The Commission de Géographie des Transports meets every year in mid-September for a thematic conference: Cergy-Pontoise in 2004 (transportation nodes), Besançon in 2005 (inter-regional transportation networks), Chambéry in 2006 (tourism and transportation, co- organized with the Commission de Géographie du Tourisme). In addition, the main theme of the 2005 Festival de Géographie in Saint Dié-des-Vosges, "World in networks", allowed many transportation geographers to present their research to a wide audience reaching outside of acade…

Donald Friedman's Interviews : Writers as Visual Artists

2018

With Volume 39, “Gestures and their Traces” INTERFACES, now an on-line journal, began its third iteration. In volume 40, we welcome Donald Friedman, novelist, essayist, and preeminently the author of The Writer’s Brush, Paintings, Drawings, and Sculpture by Writers, as a regular contributor to the journal. In the process of researching The Writer’s Brush, he video interviewed a number of contemporary writers; he is editing these tapes and these will begin a new feature of the journal. The fir...

Flexible work arrangements and household-related journeys. Who takes the lead in dual-earner heterosexual couples?

2022

International audience; This research provides an exploration of the relationship between flexible work arrangements (FWA), CO2 emissions, and household travel allocation among dual-earner couples. Using data from the United Kingdom National Travel Survey for the period between 2002 and 2017, we develop a path analysis approach based on SEM that allows for a comprehensive study of travel behavior and trade-off effects. Results suggest that, although the partner who benefits from FWAs tends to carry out domestic provision and maintenance activities, the allocation of tasks within the household is still asymmetrical. Results also outline that the presence of children will intensely affect the…

Modéliser le rôle des paysages dans les choix d'itinéraires pédestres

2008

Actuellement, la marche a pied suscite un regain d'interet comme mode de transport complementaire. Dans le cadre de cet article, nous partons de l'hypothese que l'adaptation de l'environnement urbain aux attentes des pietons, notamment d'un point de vue paysager, est une etape essentielle de la revalorisation de ce mode de deplacement. A cette fin, nous proposons une demarche permettant de decrire les comportements pedestres et d'identifier les preferences paysageres des pietons dans les villes de Besancon et de Lille. La methode d'analyse se fonde sur les modeles de choix discret, couramment utilises dans la modelisation des choix individuels. Celle-ci permet de mesurer, de maniere desagre…

Déclin et réorganisation des lignes transversales en France

2014

Cet article reactualise un premier constat realise il y a dix ans (Transports Urbains n°105). Les lignes transversales a long parcours font partie des liaisons TET dont la convention d’exploitation signee en 2010 arrivera a echeance fin 2015. Leur desserte s’est considerablement degradee, tandis que la concurrence aerienne s’est intensifiee et que d’autres modes concurrents se font menacants (covoiturages, autocar express). Le risque majeur est que, dans un contexte budgetaire delicat, l’AO Etat jette l’eponge alors que le developpement d’autres offres semble montrer qu’un marche existe.

Les mobilités urbaines et leur impact sur l’exposition au bruit : simulation de scénarios prospectifs appliqués à la ville de Besançon

2015

Le modele MobiSim a teste le lien entre la modification de l’offre de transport et l’exposition au bruit dans ses dimensions spatiales et temporelles, le test etant applique a l’agglomeration de Besancon. C’est la desynchronisation des activites, le report modal et les changements dans les grilles horaires des transports collectifs qui produisent des effets reduisant ou bien augmentant l’exposition au bruit selon les lieux et les moments, les populations concernees etant elles-memes socialement diversifiees.
