This paper applies the Mean Fi eld Game approach pioneered by Lasry and Lions (2007) to the analysis of the researchers' academic productivity. It provides a theoretical motivation for the stability of the universaly observed Lotka's law. It shows that a remuneration scheme taking into account...

In this paper we use the notion of distributable surplus, introduced by Allais (1943) and Luenberger (1992), to evaluate the capacity of European countries to repay their debts. In our analysis, we use Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) models to simulate di erent policies that can be...

This paper presents another definition of substitutes and complements. It follows a dual approach using the Luenberger's benefit function. The benefit function measures the amount of a reference bundle that an individual would be willing to give up to move from a given utility level to any...

Dans cet article, nous montrons comment il est possible d'améliorer la méthodologie de l'économétrie du portefeuille en transposant les résultats de la théorie du consommateur à la théorie du portefeuille. Nous montrons la totalité des propriétés des demandes d'actifs financiers par...

On mesure le niveau académique de la recherche française en économie et en gestion des écoles, facultés et laboratoires CNRS en utilisant un critère mesurant la qualité de la recherche, l'indice h de Hirsch, et son dérivé, l'indice g d'Egghe. Nous exposons les propriétés de ces...

In this paper, we use the certain benefit function of Luenberger, which is a generalization of the notion of distributable surplus by Allais, to characterize the classical notions of willingness to pay and willingness to accept. These concepts allow us to study the transfer of one or several...

Dans cet article, après avoir présenté les notions de bénéfice certain et d'équivalent certain de Luenberger (qui généralisent au cas du risque les notions de surplus distribuable et de surplus équivalent de Allais), nous en dérivons les identités classiques utilisées pour l'étude...

We present evidence indicating that immigrants and especially those from the Maghreb/Middle-East give first names to their children that are different from those given by the French majority population. When it comes to natives with an immigrant background, these differences are very little...

This paper studies the publishing game played by researchers and editors when the editors adopt an impartial selection process. It analyzes the possibility of congestion in the editorial process and shows that, depending on the nature of the equilibrium, the rise of the rejection costs could be...

In many European countries, a majority of employees are hired under very protective labor contracts thatrestrict the ability of the employer to dismiss them. In particular, employees can take to courts the firm'slayoff motive. Given the high costs specific to so-called economic motives and...
