Education in Ethiopia: Strengthening the Foundation for Sustainable Progress
2005
International audience; With the end of civil war in 1991, Ethiopia's government launched a New Education and Training Policy in 1994 which, by the early 2000s, had already produced remarkable results. The gross enrollment ratio rose from 20 to 62 percent in primary education between 1993-94 and 2001-02; and in secondary and higher education it climbed, respectively, from 8 to 12 percent and from 0.5 to 1.7 percent. Yet the government can hardly afford to rest on its laurels. Primary education is still not universal, and already there are concerns about plummeting educational quality and the growing pressures to expand post-primary education. Addressing these challenges will require more re…
Understanding Democracy: Economic and Political Perspectives
1997
Democracy has moved to the centre of systemic reflections on political economy, gaining a position which used to be occupied by the debate about socialism and capitalism. Certitudes about democracy have been replaced by an awareness of the elusiveness and fluidity of democratic institutions and of the multiplicity of dimensions involved. This is a book which reflects this intellectual situation. It consists of a collection of essays by well-known economists and political scientists from both North America and Europe on the nature of democracy, on the conditions for democracy to be stable, and on the relationship between democracy and important economic issues such as the functioning of the …

: Disparités sociales en éducation en Afrique sub-saharienne : Genre, localisation géographique et revenu du ménage
2006
06018http://www.u-bourgogne.fr/colloque-iredu/posterscom/communications/Mingat.pdf; In this paper we have two complementary objectives: the first consists in proposing a description of the magnitude of social disparities that exist in the systems of education of Sub-Saharan African countries; we focus on recent data but we put also these data in a time perspective. The second objective aims at identifying some of the factors that may explain these disparities or the impact of the actions targeted to their reduction.

Effets de voisinage dans le modèle de Solow avec des externalités spatiales
2004
L’objectif de cet article est d’introduire des externalités spatiales dans le modèle de croissance de Solow afin de tenir compte de l’interdépendance géographique des régions. Ces extemalités sont générées par le stock de capital accumulé par les régions voisines. Par conséquent, une politique économique visant à augmenter le taux d’investissement d’une région influence l’ensemble des régions par un effet multiplicateur spatial qui agitd’autant plus sur le revenu par tête que les régions sont géographiquement proches. Ainsi, nous utiliserons cet effet afin d’évaluer les conséquences d’une politique régionale sur la répartition spatiale des richesses dans l’Union Européenne élargie à 27 memb…

Pollution models and inverse distance weighting: some critical remarks
2013
International audience; When evaluating the impact of pollution, measurements from remote stations are often weighted by the inverse of distance raised to some nonnegative power (IDW). This is derived from Shepard's method of spatial interpolation (1968). The paper discusses the arbitrary character of the exponent of distance and the problem of monitoring stations that are close to the reference point. From elementary laws of physics, it is determined which exponent of distance should be chosen (or its upper bound) depending on the form of pollution encountered, such as radiant pollution (including radioactivity and sound), air pollution (plumes, puffs, and motionless clouds by using the cl…
