A Reconsideration of the Role of Forward-Market Arbitrage in Keynes’s and Hicks’s Theories of the Term Structure of Interest Rates
2014
International audience; This paper develops the relationship between Hicks’s and Keynes’s writings on the theory of the term structure of interest rates, and shows in detail how Hicks built on and extended Keynes’s account. According to this theory, the level of the long-term interest rate is determined by expectations of future short-term rates. Keynes’s thinking contained several notions – such as the preferred habitat of lenders, the theory of forward markets, and risk-premiums – which Hicks used to give a more complete theory of the term structure of interest rates. Besides implementing these notions in his own theory, Hicks introduced the concepts of the preferred habitat of borrowers,…
Positionnement stratégique des entreprises culturelles : proposition d'enrichissement autour du concept de valeur
2005
National audience; Cet article pose la question du positionnement stratégique des institutions culturelles. Si cette interrogation n'est pas nouvelle, elle mérite d'être à nouveau posée au regard des modifications que subit le secteur culturel à la fois du côté de l'offre et du côté de la demande. Dans cette optique nous envisagerons de nouvelles sources de différenciation possibles pour les institutions culturelles en mobilisant le concept de valeur. Une relecture des travaux autour de cette notion nous conduira à en proposer des extensions qui constitueront autant de voies de positionnement. Nous justifierons chacune de ces extensions et nous verrons quelles implications managériales cela…
L'originalité de juglar
1966
This is a version, slightly corrected in 2011 with regard to form, of a thèse complémentaire defended at the University of Paris in March 1966 (at the time, writing a "complementary thesis" in a domain adjacent to, but distinct from, economics proper was a requirement added to the doctorate in economics for participating in the national competition to become a university professor in economics). The subject of the thesis, supposedly in the domain of economic history, had been proposed by Professor Jean Lhomme. The contribution of Clément Juglar (1819-1905), whose name has remained associated with the business cycle, was deemed particularly important and original by Joseph Schumpeter in his …
The Effect of Public Subsidies for Formal Care on the Care Provision for Disabled Elderly People in France
2012
Ce papier vise à évaluer l’effet de l’allocation personnalisée d’autonomie (APA) sur l’aide reçue par les personnes âgées dépendantes vivant à domicile. À partir des données de l’enquête Handicap-Santé Ménage, nous proposons une analyse statistique basée sur une méthode d’appariement par score de propension. Nos résultats suggèrent que l’aide professionnelle financée par l’intermédiaire de l’APA se substitue partiellement, selon le niveau de dépendance et les ressources en aide informelle, à de l’aide professionnelle financée de manière privée et à de l’aide informelle, mais que globalement, bénéficier de l’APA améliore la prise en charge des personnes âgées dépendantes. The aim of this pap…
Market Environment Factors Influence on Development of Bancassurance in Latvia
2021
Banks and insurers as part of financial service industry engage in partnership under the concept of Bancassurance. Several studies are done on this topic, focusing on economies of scale and performance of most Bancassurance common models. The purpose of this study is to identify the key market environment factors that influence the development of Bancassurance for retail banks in Latvia and the level of increase. Aim of this research is to analyse – how market environment factors influence the development of Bancassurance in Latvia. The current paper is focused on the Latvian market where several Bancassurance models are present as we test our propositions by interviewing management represe…
Checks and balances and international openness
1991
In the course of a long digression within his famous inspection of Plato’s political philosophy, Karl Popper (1945: 121) argues that “the problem of politics” is the following: “How can we so organize political institutions that bad or incompetent rulers can be prevented from doing too much damage?” Popper’s answer is: “the theory of checks and balances”, which he defines as the striving to establish “institutional control of the rulers by balancing their powers against other powers” (122). From that general approach to “the problem of politics”, it follows that democracy is definitely not the rule of the majority, or the sovereignty of the people (a conception that entails various paradoxe…
La médecine de ville en France : la grande transformation ?
2016
International audience; La récente loi de modernisation du système de santé a fait du tiers-payant le pilier d’une réforme dite “sociale”. Un détour par l’histoire de la médecine libérale montre toutefois l’ambivalence de cette réforme qui va également dans le sens d’une privatisation plus prononcée de la médecine de ville.
Iron oxide-based magnetic photocatalysts: Recent developments, challenges, and environmental applications
2021
Abstract Magnetic separation of the solid photocatalyst from the reacting suspension has received great interest in recent research because it offers a suitable way for removing and recycling the heterogeneous photocatalytic material particles preventing the agglomeration and sedimentation during and after their use. The use of iron oxides such as heterogeneous photocatalysts is an appropriate choice to obtain a suitable photocatalyst easily separable from the fluid. This chapter presents a detailed investigation of iron oxide-based magnetic photocatalysts (IOMPs). We will discuss the required conditions for the synthesis of these photocatalysts, followed by their applications for the remov…
Modelling Monomer/Disc Composites Phase Behaviour
2012
Summary: A model developed by Balazs' group to explain the phase behaviour of polymer/clay composites is extended to obtain an expression for the free energy of polymer/thin disc mixtures. Phase diagrams for monomer/disc mixtures are built by minimizing the free energy and calculating the chemical potentials of the three system components. Via the comparison of the diagrams, it is studied the effects of nanodisc size and interaction parameters on mixture stability and attained morphology. The performed predictions between monomers and discs give criteria that advance the properties of the mixture. Changes in monomer concentration and interaction parameters provide a means to prevent van der…
Chrząszcze (Coleoptera) Suwalskiego Parku Krajobrazowego: monografia
2020
The beetles of the Suwalski Landscape Park (NE Poland) were studied between the years 2006−2013. The park covers an area of 6338 ha. Various field methods were used including sweep netting, dip netting, catching by hand, investigation of potential foraging sites of saproxylic beetles, rearing of cambio- and xylophagous larvae from inhabited material and attracting to artificial light sources. On the basis of our field studies and literature data, 1052 beetle species from 70 families were recorded, of which 715 have not been previously reported in the Park. One species – Variimorda briantea – is new to the Masurian Lake Region. The most numerous families were: rove beetles Staphylinidae (208…
