Mobilités internationales des diplômés de l'enseignement supérieur français en phase d'insertion professionnelle : effets sur leurs débuts de carrièr…
2008
International mobility by French higher education graduates on entering the labour market: is it worth it once they return home?The construction of European graduate labour market, through increased international graduate mobility, cannot take place without it appearing beneficial forgraduates. Indeed, all types of mobility have a cost, even if the latter is not always financial (leaving family, adapting to a new environment, etc.). Moreover, we can wonder whether graduates employment prospects actually improve thanks to international mobility. Using the Céreq « Génération 98 » survey, our first results show that international mobility on entering the labour market appears to be rare. Final…

Internationalization via strategic alliances in family businesses.
2004
It has been observed in previous studies that certain characteristics of family businesses may impede internationalization. These characteristics include the concentration of decision-making in the hands of a single shareholder or small group of shareholders, delays in the succession process, aversion to internationalization, etc. Despite these obstacles, a large number of family businesses have chosen to internationalize as a means of revitalizing themselves. The results of the study reported here indicate three important pre-requisites for family businesses that are seriously considering internationalization as an aid to growth: they need to have a market-leading product, adequate financi…
La téléréalité pourrait-elle contaminer la relation commerciale sur Internet?
2012
International audience; Participer à une émission de téléréalité est une activité rémunérée. Et pourtant, il s'agit d'un jeu... Alors que penser des activités sur l'Internet ? Au départ, tout y était gratuit, ou presque. Maintenant, c'est une toute autre histoire, puisque les entreprises cherchent à y tarifer tous leurs services. Mais, à l'inverse, allons-nous voir des internautes demander à leur tour à être rémunérés pour leur participation en ligne à la création de nouveaux produits, ou au montage de nouvelles campagnes, ou toute autre activité innovatrice ? Les entreprises qui en profitent feraient bien de se le demander, car les pratiques de la téléréalité pourraient bien faire des émul…
The impact of scale effects on the prevailing internet-based banking model in the US
2011
Internet-based banks use a technology-intensive production process that may benefit from scale effects as they grow larger. This article analyzes whether the predominant Internet-primary bank in the USA generates technology-based economies of scale in the period 2002–2010. There is evidence of both favorable and adverse technology-based scale effects. As the leading Internet-primary bank gets larger, the financial performance gap with traditional banks shrinks while some of its critical competitive advantages wear down. The results suggest that unless the prevailing Internet-primary bank preserves the distinctive advantages of the Internet-based business model as it improves financial perfo…

Compensating inequalities in secondary education in France: studies from the PISA, CEDRE and TALIS surveys
2017
The fight against educational inequality is one of the foundational principles of education in France. Implementing equal opportunity and the fight against social and geographical inequality are inscribed in the first article in the Code of Education. However, educational inequality persists and has continued to increase these past years. Using data sets from threedifferent international and national evaluations (PISA, Cedre, and TALIS), this dissertation seeks to bring a new perspective on the reduction of inequality for students enrolled in secondary education in France.
L'incertitude en médecine générale : sources, formes et accommodements possibles
2008
Cet article analyse la maniere dont l’incertitude se presente en medecine generale, a partir d’une enquete sociologique qualitative conduite sur plusieurs annees aupres de medecins generalistes francais. Les sources et formes de l’incertitude medicale y sont d’abord envisagees a la lumiere des categories classiques de Fox et des caracteristiques du contexte historique, economique et social d’exercice de la medecine generale en France. On examine ensuite la facon dont les generalistes s’accommodent de l’incertitude et stabilisent plus ou moins une attitude par rapport a cette donnee importante de leur pratique. Le propos aboutit a une cartographie des positionnements des generalistes qui ren…
Spatial mismatch through local public employment agencies Answers from a French quasi-experiment Spatial Mismatch through Local Public Employment Age…
2015
Using the unanticipated creation of a new agency in the French region of Lyon as a quasi-natural experiment, we question whether distance to local public employment agencies (LPEAs) is a new channel for spatial mismatch. Contrary to past evidence based on aggregated data and consistently with the spatial mismatch literature, we find no evidence of a worker/agency spatial mismatch, which pleads for a resizing of the French LPEA network. However, echoing with the literature on the institutional determinants of the local public employment agencies' efficiency, we do find detrimental institutional transitory effects.
Interactions, spillovers de connaissance et croissance des villes européennes. Faut-il préférer la géographie, le climat institutionnel ou les réseau…
2013
Knowledge spillovers within urban economies are also sources of spillovers between cities. We examine how knowledge spillovers influenced the economic growth of 82 European metropolises over the 1990-2005 period. We model knowledge spillovers between cities on the basis of five specific interaction patterns based on geography, networks of multinational firms in advanced services, institutional climate and two combinations of these factors. Spatial models are estimated to detail the effects of growth factors in terms of spillovers and externalities. We show that spillovers are local rather than global and that interactions among cities accelerate the convergence process based on gross value …
