Nous souhaitons apporter des éléments de réponse aux questions suivantes. Est-il possible de stabiliser un système non linéaire de dimension infinie par un contrôle en boucle fermée (aussi appelé ‘contrôle feedback’) de dimension finie ? Est-il possible d’estimer l’état d’un système non linéaire de...

In the Middle East, non-Muslims are, on average, better off than the Muslim majority. Itrace the origins of the phenomenon in Egypt to the imposition of the poll tax on non-Muslims upon the Islamic Conquest of the then-Coptic Christian Egypt in 640. The tax,which remained until 1855, led to the...

In this paper we examine the link between wage inequality and consumption inequality using a life cycle model that incorporates household consumption and family labor supply decisions. We derive analytical expressions based on approximations for the dynamics of consumption, hours, and earnings of...

Standard approaches to constructing nonparametric confidence bands for functions are frustrated by the impact of bias, which generally is not estimated consistently when using the bootstrap and conventionally smoothed function estimators. To overcome this problem it is common practice to either...

A theory of tacit collusion is developed based on coordination through price leadership and less than full mutual understanding of strategies. It is common knowledge that price increases are to be at least matched but who should lead and at what price is not common knowledge. The steady-state price...

We develop a methodology to quantitatively study sorting between workers and firms based on their unobserved (to economists) productive characteristics. It is often hypothesized that sorting on unobservables is an important determinant of output, productivity and wage differences at the micro and...

We analyze the response of firms to the introduction of emissions permits in the Spanish electricity market. While previous papers have focused on assessing the pass-through of emission costs to electricity prices, there is still little evidence on how firms incorporate these costs in their output...

Information technologies may affect productivity by reducing agents' information processing costs, and by making agents' actions easier to evaluate by the principal. We distinguish these mechanisms empirically in the context of the randomized adoption of credit scoring in a bank that lends...
