Les comptes des entreprises ont récemment défrayé la chronique. Il faut dire que la comptabilité peut mentir, comme le montrera l’histoire du redressement spectaculaire de l’entreprise Cacahuète S.A. Peut-elle même dire le vrai ? La comptabilité, loin d’être une science exacte, est...

This paper studies efficient risk-sharing rules for the concave dominance order. For a univariate risk, it follows from a comonotone dominance principle, due to Landsberger and Meilijson (1994) [27], that efficiency is characterized by a comonotonicity condition. The goal of the paper is to...

We propose a multivariate extension of a well-known characterization by S. Kusuoka of regular and coherent risk measures as maximal correlation functionals. This involves an extension of the notion of comonotonicity to random vectors through generalized quantile functions. Moreover, we propose...

I show that the structure of the firm is not neutral with respect to regulatory capital budgeted under rules which are based on the Value-at-Risk. Indeed, when a holding company has the liberty to divide its risk into as many subsidiaries as needed, and when the subsidiaries are subject to...

This paper proposes a method to address the longstanding problem of lack of monotonicity in estimation of conditional and structural quantile functions, also known as the quantile crossing problem (Bassett and Koenker (1982)). The method consists in sorting or monotone rearranging the original...

In this paper, we address the problem of estimating transport surplus (a.k.a. matching affinity) in high dimensional optimal transport problems. Classical optimal transport theory species the matching affinity and determines the optimal joint distribution. In contrast, we study the inverse...

We propose a computationally feasible way of deriving the identified set of parameter values in models with multiple equilibria, with particular emphasis on oligopoly entry models. This is achieved through an equivalence result between the existence of an equilibrium selection mechanism...

This paper exhibits a duality between the theory of revealed preference of Afriat and the housing allocation problem of Shapley and Scarf. In particular, it is shown that Afriat’s theorem can be interpreted as a second welfare theorem in the housing problem. Using this duality, the revealed...
