Le présent travail propose d’étudier l’impact des plans de sondage sur les processus empiriques. En nous plaçant dans le cadre des modèles de surpopulation, nous considérons une variable aléatoire d’intérêt dont les réalisations dans la population sont indépendantes et de même loi de probabilité....

We explore the role of inflation credibility in self-fulfilling debt crises. In particu-lar, we propose a continuous time model of nominal debt with the potential for self-fulfilling debt crises as in Calvo (1988) and Cole and Kehoe (2000).
