During the marginalist controversy, full costers failed to convince economists of the superiority of full cost pricing over marginal theory of imperfect competition. The controversy was closed prematurely; various contributions published immediately thereafter in the fifties did not renew the...

Since the marginalist controversy held from 1939 to the mid-fifties, the full cost principle presents itself as an alternative to the marginalist theory of the producer’s equilibrium, without being able to shake its dominance. Yet, through decades, empirical investigations are rather...

We study information revelation in markets with pairwise meetings. We focus on the one sided case and perform a dynamic analysis of a constant entry flow model. The same question has been studied in an identical framework in Serrano and Yosha (1993) but they limit their analysis to the...

Contrary to most countries, the recruitment of assistant professors in France is centralized: recruitment committees submit a ranking of candidates to the Ministry of Education, the candidates submit their own ranking over the faculties that rank them and the Ministry compute the final match...

The official results analysis of the Congolese presidential elections in 2011 aims at studying behavior displayed by voters towards the selected mode of poll. This reveals that most of them carry out a strategic vote because feeling, in an intuitive way, weaknesses of a single member voting...

The purpose of this paper is to have in a simple and detailed way the significant results in theory of social choice and to study the resource sharing (goods or responsibilities) between petitioning agents in a proof of election. While analyzing social choice functions more in sight, we present...

Nous étudions expérimentalement le comportement de sujets confrontés, dans une population, à une multiplicité de jeux du dilemme du prisonnier, suivant que les interactions sont bilatérales ou multilatérales. Nous observons, (i), une coopération significativement supérieure en cas de...

The influence of relative wealth on fairness considerations is analyzed in an ultimatum game experiment in which participants receive large and widely unequal initial endowments. Subjects initially demonstrate a concern for fairness. With time however, behavior becomes at odds with both subgame...

Cet article présente un modèle de formation des salaires par négociations décentralisées contraint par le principe d'équité. Cette modélisation pose un problème de viabilité dont l'aboutissement est la caractérisation a posteriori de la convention salariale, ce qui permet de dépasser...

Partant du constat que des préférences sociales très différentes peuvent conduire, assez paradoxalement, à des comportements assez similaires en jeu d’ultimatum, ce papier a pour ambition de proposer une méthode d’identification de ces préférences. Nous proposons une modélisation...
