Revue systématique de la littérature sur les effets cardio métaboliques du bruit des transports (période 2014-2021)

Mercredi | 2022-04-27 Salle des thèses – 12h Julie LEDUC Cette présentation détaillera les résultats d’une revue systématique de la littérature sur les effets cardio métaboliques du bruit des transports (période 2014-2021). Nous actualisons ainsi les travaux ayant contribué à la production des lignes directrices sur le bruit dans l’environnement par l’OMS en 2018. Les maladies cardio métaboliques, tels les troubles cardiaques, le diabète ou l’hypertension sont des pathologies à large prévalence populationnelle. Elles entraînent des coûts sociaux importants en […]

How do epidemics affect trade costs? Evidence from Ebola in West Africa

Mercredi | 2022-03-10 Salle des thèses – 12h30 Yrkamba Bienvenu AMAKOUE – Isabelle RABAUD The increased occurrence of natural disaster and uncertainty linked to epidemics has generated disruption of trade. Our work is included in this field of study. In this paper, we investigate, more precisely, the effect of trade restrictions issued against Ebola-infected countries by their trading partners over the period 2014-2016. We measured the effect of these restrictions on trade between Ebola-infected countries and their trading partners. We […]

FDI and Environmental Convergence: Home country influence

Mercredi | 2022-03-03 B103 – 12h00 This study analyzes the existence and determinants of environmental convergence/divergence. We take a bilateral approach where one or more investor partners could use their influence to impact the environmental performance of their investment host country, and thus generate environmental convergence or divergence between home and host country. Based on a sample of 128 countries with bilateral data between 2000 and 2012, we show the existence of the environmental convergence/divergence phenomenon. Our results suggest that […]

 » Complying with Containment? Political Trust and Non-Pharmaceutical Interventions (NPIs) in Turkey. »

Mardi | 2021-12-07 Salle B.103 – 16h What explains varying levels of compliance with public health measures? During the global COVID-19 pandemic, governments around the world have implemented various forms of containment measures or “non-pharmaceutical interventions” (NPIs). These include lockdowns, mask mandates, curfews, the closure of businesses, schools, or places of worship, and more. One factor in public health authorities’ and governments’ decision making about which measures to implement has been anticipated rates of compliance. Compliance, in turn, affects the […]

Fiscal Convergence and Sustainability in Africa: Evidence from African Regional Economic Communities

Mercredi | 2021-12-03 Salle des thèses – 12h Jedah OGWENO The literature on regional integration has acknowledged the use of macroeconomic convergence programs to align domestic policies regarding fiscal deficits, public debt, inflation, interest rates and exchange rates, and foster the monetary integration process. This paper analyses fiscal convergence and its contribution to fiscal sustainability in African Regional Economic Communities (RECs) over the period 2000 to 2019 using data on government debt, revenue and expenditure. Log t convergence tests indicate […]

Freeze! Financial Sanctions and Bank Responses

Mardi | 2021-11-30 16h – Salle des thèses VOLKER NITSCH When one country imposes financial sanctions against another country, its domestic banks must end business relations with targeted counterparties. Based on regulatory data, we show that banks domiciled in Germany reduce lending in countries targeted by German sanctions. However, German bank subsidiaries and branches domiciled abroad increase their positions in the sanctioned countries by 44% relative to their parent banks at home. This incremental effect increases to 95% for German […]
