Cet article traite du rôle et de la place de la monnaie dans le processus de coordination dans une économie de marché décentralisée. Les modèles d‟équilibre, qui supposent la coordination réalisée à partir des mécanismes de marché, qualifiés de réels et individuels, rencontrent...

Les travaux sur la voirie urbaine dans la Communauté Urbaine de Lyon sont soumis, depuis mars 1978, à une procédure de coordination visant à synchroniser les ouvertures de chantiers. La gestion des autorisations de travaux, la commande des produits de réfection définitive et leur...

Financial markets are known for overreacting to public information. Central banks can reduce this overreaction either by disclosing information to a fraction of market participants only (partial publicity) or by disclosing information to all participants but with ambiguity (partial...

We consider situations in which individuals would like to choose an action which is close to that of others, as well as close to a state of nature, with the ideal proximity to the state varying across agents. Before this coordination game is played, a cheap-talk communication stage is offered to...

We re-examine issues of coordination in the standard RBC model. Can the unique rational expectations equilibrium be “educed” by rational agents who contemplate the possibility of small deviations from equilibrium? Surprisingly, we find that coordination along this line cannot be expected....

This is a slightly revised English version of a paper published in the "Revue d'Economie Politique" 112 (5) sept-oct 2002. The text reviews recent work on expectational coordination in general equilibrium models of the Walrasian tradition. It evokes briefly the multiplicity questions associated...

We examine whether the "fear" of globalisation can be rationalised by economic theory. To do so, we depart from the standard AD/AS (partial) equilibrium model where the coordinational role of the Auctioneer is substituted by an implementation device based on learning (Guesnerie, 1992). By...

Most institutional theories of the diversity of capitalism (at least implicitly) assume the existence of a representative firm in each type of capitalism. Based on a case study of Japan during the Lost Decade (1992-2005), this paper aims at showing that this assumption introduces severe...

This research explores a theoretical and practical paradox in megaprojects. According to transaction cost economics (Williamson, 1975) high uncertainty, high asset specificity, situated knowledge and the high frequency of transactions associated with megaprojects should drive managers to...
