This paper analyses the impact of innovation on productivity in Taiwan. Using a panel of 48,794 firms observed over the 1997–2003 period and distributed across 23 industries, we compute total factor productivity (TFP) by estimating Translog production functions with C, L, E, M inputs. We...

We examine the impact of R&D and technology imports on firm performance in Taiwan’s manufacturing industry in a policy context of industrial upgrading. To do so, we estimate a Translog production function on two panels (covering 1992-1995 and 1997-2003), using stochastic frontier models. We...

La prise en compte de l'intérêt du citoyen dans la décision publique passe par l'estimation des préférences individuelles. Dès lors qu'il n'existe pas demarché de référence, mesurer l'impact d'une décision publique sur le bien-être des individus pose un vrai problème méthodologique....

This paper examines whether dynamic professional contexts in manufacturing are associated with specific age-training profiles. During the 1990s, a comparative disadvantage of blue collar workers and clerks aged between 50 and 59 with regards to training in computer skills has been observed,...

We know (e.g. Noussair et alii [2004]) that consumers devalue first-generation GM food. Here, using a framed field experiment method, we reveal consumer?s willingness to pay for various second-generation GM apples, defined as differentiated products containing an innovative attribute, desirable...

This paper presents some experimental results that focus on players? coordination on Pareto-optimal issues of the investment game. These results show the importance of communication of intentions as a mean to realize such a coordination in different contexts (simultaneous or sequential game,...

Cet article examine si la dynamique des contextes professionnels dans l'industrie est associée à des profils spécifiques de formation selon l'âge. On observe, au cours des années 1990, un déficit de formation à l'informatique pour les ouvriers et employés de 50-59 ans dans les...
