Division of labor in anti-parasite defense strategies in ant colonies
2014
Division of labor is a key characteristic of social insects and contributes to their ecological success. Especially in disease defense, the intra-colony partitioning of sanitary work can reduce disease transmission, keep nestmates available for other tasks and reduce costs associated with sanitary task performance (i.e. at the behavioral and physiological level). Factors internal and external to the individual affecting sanitary task allocation are not well known and most studies investigated genetic differences between workers performing behavioral sanitary work. In the first two studies I addressed whether individual experience (through repeated exposure to a sanitary hazard or performanc…
L'inévitable aliénation? La division du travail en Grande-Bretagne à l'aube de la révolution industrielle
2002
Adam Smith, dans ses Recherches sur la nature et les causes de la richesse des nations, attire l'attention sur le caractère inévitable de la division du travail et ses aspects positifs pour l'économie. Il reconnaît aussi les aspects négatifs de cette division du travail pour l'individu forcé de s'y conformer. Après un rappel de la position de Smith, nous verrons en seconde partie comment les médecins, en particulier William Buchan, ont perçu les inconvénients physiques de la grande industrie qui se met en place en Grande-Bretagne dans le dernier tiers du dix-huitième siècle. Enfin, nous étudierons le combat mené par William Godwin, auteur radical et pré-anarchiste, contre cette division ali…
The endogeneous nature of the dynamic analysis among classical economist's writings
1998
« Endogenous growth theories » exhibit different models in which growth is assumed to come from the accumulation of a particular factor (human capital, technology, public infrastructures, etc.). However, due to its newness, the real term of « endogenous growth » seems to playdown old theories.This paper intends to put right this position and demonstrate that relations displayed by current models are only formalizations stemming from the developments of classical economists. In the end, we demonstrate that their analysis yields new viewpoints for analysts. Overall, we wish to reinforce theendogenous nature of the dynamic analysis among classical economist's writings.
