Structural change in a Ricardian world economy: The role of extensive rent

2019

Abstract We study an implication of the Ricardian theory of differential extensive rent in a free trade regime. To this effect we develop a Ricardian two country two commodity open economy model. We assume that, unlike labour, land is heterogeneous both within and across countries and that the ratio of high to low quality land is different among the trading countries. By means of a numerical example we show that as the process of worldwide capital accumulation (and population growth) proceeds an industrial country may find it convenient to increase its domestic corn production and even reverse completely the pattern of its imports and exports.

OFN Capital Budgeting Under Uncertainty and Risk

2017

The aim of this chapter is to propose a new approach to incorporating uncertainty into capital budgeting. The chapter presents methods that can be used by an investor when the decision maker wants to be able to make an investment decision where there are alternative investment projects. This kind of problem is undertaken under the conditions of uncertainty and risk using Ordered Fuzzy Numbers (OFN). The starting point is the concept of Ordered Fuzzy Numbers. The chapter illustrates the implementation of the proposed approach with an example where two alternative investment projects are analyzed. The authors present the capital budgeting problem using a numerical example. The described metho…

Les parcours étudiants en fonction des caractéristiques individuelles

2011

Ce texte vise à préciser quel est l'effet des capitaux culturel et économique des familles sur l'orientation des étudiants. Une comparaison entre les catégories sociales des élèves de classes de 6ème des collèges et celles des étudiants de l'enseignement supérieur permet, dans un premier temps, de décrire la sélectivité sociale qui s'exerce depuis l'entrée au collège jusqu'au études supérieures. Dans un second temps, il sera montré que le coût des études représente une variable explicative des choix scolaires et professionnels en ce qu'il limite les choix des plus démunis alors qu'il ne constitue pas une limite pour les pluis aisés. Enfin, en vue de mieux cerner l'impact respectif et de la …

Capital culturel et inégalités sociales de réussite scolaire : les effets des pratiques musicales

2008

Ce travail se propose d’étudier si les pratiques musicales de l’élève et de sa famille peuvent constituer un capital culturel utile à sa réussite scolaire. Nous nous sommes intéressés au mécanisme que P. Bourdieu et J.-C. Passeron avaient le moins approfondi : le développement de compétences. Fondé sur une enquête empirique, ce travail évalue les effets de plusieurs pratiques musicales sur les acquisitions en éducation musicale, ainsi que les effets de ces dernières sur les scores de mathématiques et de français. Les résultats montrent que, toutes choses égales par ailleurs, les pratiques musicales considérées ont un effet positif sur les acquisitions en éducation musicale, ces pratiques ex…

On the Determinants of the Going Public Decision in Spain

2008

Though the going public decision has been addressed by several theories, empirical research is particularly scarce to European countries. This is the first research in the Spanish market that investigates ex ante and ex post characteristics of IPO firms, using a large database of private held firms that potentially may go public. Some of our results are consistent with previous studies. Our evidence suggests that firms that go public are young firms with large capital expenditures previously to the IPO. However, a firm's need to finance activity is not the main motive to go public, but to achieve the proper conditions to rebalance firm's economic and financial structure. Our results are con…

IFRS 3 et reconnaissance des actifs incorporels : l'inertie des émetteurs en question.

2010

National audience; En matière de regroupement d'entreprises, et en vue d'adapter les états financiers aux évolutions de l'environnement économique, la position adoptée par le normalisateur IFRS consiste à faciliter la reconnaissance des actifs incorporels séparément du goodwill dans les sociétés cotées (position défendue par les normes IFRS 3 et IFRS 3 révisée). Cette orientation est contestée par un certain courant de littérature, et démentie par l'analyse des résultats d'une étude exploratoire originale portant sur le CAC 40. L'inertie des sociétés cotées ainsi mise en œuvre peut s'expliquer, notamment, par la tendance des normes à ne pas suffisamment tenir compte de la capacité cognitive…
