Éducation et productivité agricole: résultats provisoires d'une application au cas français
1980
Les compétences fondamentales et le développement : peut-on évaluer les systèmes éducatifs par le niveau d'acquisition homogène d'un bloc de compéten…
2012
Ce travail de recherche tend à apporter une mesure de réalisation de l'objectif du millénaire d'éducation pour tous en centrant, d'une part, la question géographique là où l' 'enjeu reste sensible: l'Afrique subsaharienne et aussi, d'autre-part, au sous-entendu de cet objectif que l'éducation offerte soit de qualité. Notre constat part des éléments de littérature venant de l'économie de l'éducation pour lesquels, si l'éducation primaire n'est pas perçue par des populations comme apportant des compétences de base de qualité, le risque est de voir tout effort éducatif contraint par découragement envers l'école. La démarche s'appuie sur l'analyse des modèles de mesure et les dispositifs d'éval…
La contribution de l'éducation à la croissance économique du Sénégal
2013
The aim of this work is to show that education contributes to economic growth, that is to say that there is a relationship between the variables of education and economic growth in Senegal. There are several studies that have examined the relationship between education and economic growth microeconomic point of view, as well as macroeconomic, both theoretically and empirically. Empirical studies that have been done around the world, do not agree on the fact that education has a positive effect on economic growth. This ambiguity has led us to participate in the debate by testing the impact and effectiveness of education on productivity Senegalese companies. This last play an important part i…
Product and Labour Market Regulations, Production Prices, Wages and Productivity
2016
ACLN; International audience; This study is an attempt to evaluate the effects of product and labour market regulations on industry productivity through their various impacts on changes in production prices and wages. In a first stage, the estimation of a regression equation on an industry*country panel, with controls for country*industry and country*year fixed effects, show that multi-factor productivity is negatively and significantly influenced by both indicators of industrial prices from same industry and weighted average of industrial prices from other industries, and by indicators of country wages weighted by industry labour shares for low and high skilled workers. In a second stage, …
Institutional Influences of Professional Associations and Franchise Organizations on Competitiveness of the Healthcare Clinics
2019
This paper uses insights from the institutional theory to study the competitiveness of the healthcare clinics in Spain. The environment of the healthcare services is highly institutionalized: professional associations are state agents responsible for the extensive regulation. Recently emerged franchise chains become subject for imitation by creating institutionalized routines from within and increasing competitive pressures for other industry players. While the sector is dominated by the independent doctors, franchise organizations are becoming more popular and show steady growth rates. The franchise business model in healthcare is evolving: while the core activity—provision of a healthcare…
Are robots in rich countries a threat for employment in emerging economies?
2022
The effects of robotization on labor market outcomes have been widely investigated within developed countries. Conversely, few studies have tried to assess how automation in advanced economies affects less industrialized countries. In this work, we analyze the impact of robotization in a group of developed European countries (EU15) on employment dynamics in a country-industry panel data of emerging markets. Our findings indicate that EU15 robotization is associated with a decline of sectoral employment in emerging economies, especially in Asia, tradable and more robotized industries. Ultimately, a small set of major European countries - namely, Germany, Italy, Denmark and United Kingdom - s…
The impact of multinational banking on domestic banking
2006
Post-Keynesians have made endogenous money a central argument in their theory of output. Indeed, production cannot be undertaken if access to finance, usually meaning bank credit, does not exist. Such access is needed if wages are to be paid, and inputs of production purchased. In a monetary economy, therefore, money is created at the demand of borrowers, supplied by banks.
The New Consensus and Post-Keynesian Interest Rate Policy.
2007
Abstract This paper outlines the fundamental arguments of the New Consensus, critiques it from a Post-Keynesian perspective, and offers a Post-Keynesian alternative to the Taylor Rule. While Post-Keynesian economics provides a theory of endogenous money with exogenous interest rates, it has no clear description of a central bank reaction function. We attempt to remedy this oversight by identifying some of the difficulties attached to developing a Post-Keynesian reaction function, and suggesting an approach to the setting of interest rates that is more consistent than the Taylor Rule with Keynes's General Theory.
Interfuel substitutions in the Great Britain's industry in the 1987-1993 period : a translog approach
1996
According to the Department of Trade and Industry (1994), the British consumption of fuel for manufacturing industry, over the period 1973-1993, may be characterized by, firstly, a substitution of oil by gas, and secondly, an increase of energy efficiency. This study attempts to tackle both phenomena by using an econometric approach, based upon translog interfuel substitution models. To do so, the « classic » translog model ought to be enhanced in order to capture the prospect of (1) a non-homothetic feature of the manufacturing production process, (2) energy efficiency -via the implementation of an embodied technical change specification, and (3) short run and long run fuel consumption evo…
L'influence des évènements familiaux dans la formation des revenus
1985
Référence interne : 85013; En décomposant l'expérience professionnelle des hommes et des femmes en fonction d'évènements familiaux marquants, l'objectif est de mesurer l'effet du mariage sur les gains, et de mettre en relation le bénéfice de l'union avec le niveau d'éducation de l'individu. L'approche suivie analyse également le role de la fécondité, en particularisant l'effet de l'espacement des naissances et de l'âge à la première naissance sur les profils de salaires.
