Mardi | 2016-02-09 Salle Sully 5, 16h00 à 17h20 This paper studies the lifetime effects of exogenous changes in health insurance coverage (e.g. Medicare, PPACA, termination of employer-provided plans) on the dynamic optimal allocation (consumption, leisure, health expenditures), status (health, wealth and survival rates), and welfare. We solve, structurally estimate, and simulate a parsimonious life cycle model with endogenous exposure to morbidity and mortality risks to analyze the impact of young (resp. old) insurance status conditional on old (resp. young) […]

Les définitions académiques proposées par la littérature s’accordent presque toutes à dire que le projet est défini par une temporalité bornée. Cela signifie-t-il donc que le projet s’achève ? Peut-on parler d’aboutissement dans le cadre du projet associatif ? Notre recherche linguistique montre que le projet associatif peut se qualifier par plusieurs dimensions à temporalités différentes, dont l’une […]

Mardi | 2016-02-02 16h00-17h20 en Sully 5 andrew CLARK – MARTA BARAZZETTA – CONCHITA D’AMBROSIO We here consider the adult cognitive and non-cognitive consequences of growing up with a mother who reported major financial problems. Data from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children show that mother’s major financial problems are associated with worse cognitive and non-cognitive outcomes in adolescence, even after controlling for both income and a set of standard variables. Further, the major financial problems effect is […]

Mardi | 2016-01-26 Sully 5 de 16h à 17h20 Daria ONORI – Cyrille PIATECKI – Diana-Andrada FILIP This paper studies the relationship between property rights effectiveness, growth and welfare. To this end, we modify Gonzalez [13]’s endogenous growth model by assuming that the population is divided into two groups of consumers-producers: honest agents, who do not challenge the others property, and cheaters, who grab a part of honest people’ss production. The assumption of heterogeneous agents has many important consequences on […]

Mardi | 2016-01-12 Sully 5 de 16 à 17h20 Olivier SCAILLET – Antonio COSMA – Stefano GALLUCCIO – Pederzoli PAOLA We introduce a fast and widely applicable numerical pricing method by recursive projections. We characterise its convergence speed. We find that the early exercise boundary of an American call option on a discrete dividend paying stock is higher under the Merton and Heston models than under the Black-Scholes model, as opposite to the continuous dividend yield case. A large database […]

Mardi | 2015-12-15 Sully 5 de 16h à 17h20 Igor BAGAYEV – Julie LOCHARD In this paper we test whether tighter EU environmental regulation fosters pollution havens in ECA countries. By making an assumption on which sectors are more affected by environmental regulation, we provide robust evidence that ECA polluting industries benefit from EU environmental stringency. Moreover, we propose an original and relevant variable that evaluates environmental regulation stringency and limits simultaneity issues, based on the EU Air Quality Framework […]

Mardi | 2015-12-08 Sully 05 de 16h à 17h20 Nicolas DEBARSY – Jean-Yves GNABO – Malik KERKOUR The aim of this paper is to identify the driving forces of Sovereign wealth funds’ investments. For this, we develop an original econometric framework that quantifies the role of spatial dependence in the location of investments, and uses the Inverse Hyperbolic Sine transformation of the dependent vari- able in a spatial panel model context. This transformation copes with two features of net flows, […]
