Debating Sound Money in Early Modern Europe: From Dualist to Metallic Monetary Systems

2019

International audience; In this paper, we present the monetary debates in Europe from the XVIth to the XVIIIth centuries from the viewpoint of the problem of good and sound money. The framework of the paper is built on a typology of monetary systems, by which a dualist system is distinguished from a metallic one. Under the dualist system, the value in units of account of the specie in circulation was defined by monetary proclamations (Einaudi locates this era from Charlemagne to the French Revolution). Metallist proponents aimed at preventing any kind of manipulations with a radical transformation of the system of payment, which gave birth to a metallic monetary system from the very end of …

Biproportional Method for Analysing Interindustry Dynamics: the case of France

1990

Two elements are being presented in this paper: (1) A new and original method for analysing matrix dynamics, called the synthetical biproportional projector method (SBP), which can be used to project input–output tables and compare one with another. (2) Some results for France for the important period 1970–85. The paper starts with the observation that no systematic study of the change in the French productive structure as displayed In the input–output tables (tableaux entries-sorties in France) has ever been made. This is unfortunate, since a complete series of data is now available concerning a key period of the French economic evolution including the petroleum crisis, European integratio…

Le mouvement des idées monétaires dans l'Europe moderne

2014

Ce chapitre vise à fournir une vue de l'évolution des idées monétaires dans l'Europe moderne. Il s'alimente notamment des textes des auteurs du présent livre pour en dégager quelques leçons. Dans un premier temps, il discutera du sens du substantif " mercantilisme " tel qu'il a été construit depuis le milieu du dix-huitième siècle : examiner les fondements historiques de cette notion permettra d'en montrer les impasses. Il présentera, dans un second temps, une catégorisation des auteurs construite à partir de leur rapport au pouvoir.

The importance of creative industry agglomerations in explaining the wealth of European Regions

2012

[EN] This paper examines the existence of regional agglomerations of manufacturing, service and creative industries, the relationship between these industries and the wealth of regions and their industrial structure. Through an analysis of 250 European regions, three important conclusions can be inferred from the results obtained in this paper. The first is that creative industries play an important role in the wealth of a region. The second is that the most creative regions are characterized by having more high-tech manufacturing industries than the rest of the regions although the number of low-tech manufacturing firms is similar. Lastly, the industrial structure of each region has a grea…

Roles of Exogenous Technologies in Vehicle Innovation: Cases from a Japan’s Automotive Parts Manufacturing Firm

2017

This paper explores the roles of technological innovations in the growth of Japan’s motor vehicle industry, mainly from technology spillover perspective from the early 2000s to today. An empirical analysis focusing on business performances, R&D investments, and patent applications taking a noteworthy unique case in Japan was attempted. Empirical analyses on the productivity of patent to technology stock, use of exogenous technologies for their own technological innovation on its Automotive Business Unit elucidated that innovation capabilities, incorporation of exogenous technologies, and profit generation makes a virtuous cycle of continuous technological innovation. Furthermore, we fou…

Inflation dynamics in a model with firm entry and (some) heterogeneity

2014

We analyse the incidence of endogenous entry and firm TFP-heterogeneity on the response of aggregate inflation to exogenous shocks. We build up an otherwise standard DSGE model in which the number of firms is endogenously determined and firms differ in their steady state level of productivity. This splits the industry structure into firms of different sizes. Calibrating the different transition rates, across firm sizes and out of the market we reproduce the main features of the distribution of firms in Spain. We then compare the inflation response to technology, interest rate and entry cost shocks, among others. We find that structures in which large (more productive) firms predominate tend…

R&D with spillovers: Monopoly versus noncooperative and cooperative duopoly.

2011

This paper compares industry profit and R&D propensity for a duopoly conducting either noncooperative or cooperative R&D and a monopoly, using two different basic models of strategic R&D. One postulates spillovers in R&D inputs and predicts that equilibrium joint profit and R&D levels are always larger under monopoly. The other postulates spillovers in R&D outputs and sometimes predicts that joint profit and R&D levels are larger under either of the alternative scenarios. In addition, unlike input spillovers, spillovers in R&D outputs sometimes exert a positive effect on both effective and private noncooperative R&D levels.

Introduction. Les pensées monétaires dans l'Europe moderne : contexte et intentions

2014

Ce texte introduit le livre et présente ses objectifs et sa structure. Ce livre traite du déploiement des idées monétaires dans le monde européen de l'époque moderne, depuis les écrits de Nicolas Copernic (1517) jusqu'à la veille de la publication de l'ouvrage économique majeur écrit par Adam Smith (1776) . Il met l'accent sur le contexte historique dans le cadre duquel ces idées monétaires ont vu le jour. Il montre la grande variété des contextes et des idées bien au-delà des espaces, des auteurs et des thèmes généralement étudiés, en intégrant des territoires peu étudiés par les économistes, en mettant au jour des approches et des auteurs oubliés, en tentant, enfin, de restituer la riches…
