Transportation has undergone extraordinary growth during the last century, and has continued to do so throughout the twenty-first century. The knowledge of mobility in France is partly based on National Travel Surveys. These surveys have been conducted on five occasions in France (1966–1967,...

We study the phenomenon of internal avalanching within the context of recently proposed “Tetris” lattice models for granular media. We consider a packing of particles subjected to two different dynamics. In the first case, we arrest the system at different instances during an “aging”...

The theory of ageing is at the center of this paper. We test the mutation accumulation theory by using the Penna model introducing higher death rates for selected parts of the population. The changes in the mutation accumulation curves obtained cannot be explained by a simple monotonic function,...

We discuss some properties of the phase occurring in between the connectivity percolation threshold and the rigidity one, for a randomly diluted lattice of springs. We introduce a domain of free extension, which separates the floppy regime from the elastic one in the dilution case. We mention,...

In this paper we extend the equilibrium search models of Burdett and Mortensen (1998), Burdett and Vishwanath (1988) and Mortensen and Vishwanath (1994) to allow for endogenous matching and endogenous capital determination. In our model, in order to attract a positive measure of workers, firms...

Relying on an original household survey (PATER survey), we document how the 2008–9 crisis affected households’ wealth, expectations, and consumption plans in France. We then show that households experiencing losses relating to their housing or their financial wealth were more likely to...
