Multinationals, R&D and productivity: Evidence for UK Manufacturing firms
2010
In this study, we analyze multinationality (domestic-based firms versus multinationals) and foreignness (foreign versus domestic firms) effects in the returns of R&D to productivity. We follow a two-step strategy. In the first step, we consistently estimate firm's productivity by GMM and numerically compute the sample distribution of the R&D returns. In the second step, we use stochastic dominance techniques to make inferences on the multinationality and foreignness effects. Results for a panel of UK manufacturing firms suggest that multinationality and foreignness effects operate in an opposite way: whilst the multinationality effect enhances R&D returns, the foreignness diminishes them. C…

Perception et traque de “l'accent etranger” : la production des voyelles orales en fle par des polonophones
2017
Our research fits in the overall framework of French as a Foreign Language oral teaching methods and focuses will deal with the phenomenon of “foreign accent”, those marks that reveal in transparency the presence of the phonological sieve of the mother tongue, and we will focus on the pronunciation of oral vowels in French by Polish-speaking learners. A preliminary study, descriptive and contrastive, of the phonological systems of Polish and French will allow us to make assumptions about perceptible interferences in the pronunciation of spoken French which might be at the origin of noise in the psycholinguistic decoding. Acoustic analyses of speech corpuses, based on the previous hypotheses…
"Välillä mua on melkein itkettäny mennä luennolle" : advanced language learners' experiences with foreign language anxiety
2014
Tutkielman tarkoituksena oli selvittää vieraiden kielten yliopisto-opiskelijoiden kokemuksia kielijännityksestä. Tavoitteena oli tarkastella missä tilanteissa opiskelijat kokevat kielijännitystä, mistä se heiden mielestään johtuu, millaisia vaikutuksia jännityksellä on ja millaisia keinoja opiskelijoilla on pärjätä oman jännityksen kanssa. Tutkimuksessa keskeisessä roolissa ovat opiskelijoiden omat käsitykset ja kokemukset. Kielijännitystä on tutkittu paljon mutta aiempi tutkimus on keskittynyt aloitteleviin kielten opiskelijoihin erityisesti Pohjois-Amerikkalaisessa yliopisto kontekstissa. Aiempi tutkimus on myös ollut pitkälti määrällistä tutkimusta. Tästä syystä tämä laadullinen tutkielm…

The Ill-Fated Union: Constitutional Entrenchment of Rights and the Will Theory from Rousseau to Waldron
2014
This chapter revisits the key theses of Georg’s Jellinek’s Declaration of the Rights of Man and of Citizens: A Contribution to Modern Constitutional History [1895]. The objective of this chapter is to expose the ‘umbilical cord’ that linked the notion of ‘constitutional’ rights and the will theory, on one side, and the internal incompatibility of notion of ‘inalienable rights’ with the will theory – reflecting an unabated conflict of the doctrines of parliamentary supremacy and constitutional rights, on another side. These doctrines are part of both ‘continental’ and ‘common law’ traditions. Our intent is also to reflect on the shared groundwork of the doctrine of sovereignty of Hobbes, Aus…
