I present an approach to social science where the controller or social theory is part of the system pointing to the need to go beyond quantum mechanics. This change of point of view from the outside to the inside of social systems implies the need to cope with reflexive mathematical structures...

In this paper, we introduce a multivariate extension of the classical univariate Value-at-Risk (VaR). This extension may be useful to understand how solvency capital requirement computed for a given financial institution may be affected by the presence of additional risks. We also generalize the...

This paper suggests the simple point that “detracking” schools might lead to an increase in income segregation. It studies a model where households care about the school peer group of their children. If ability and income are positively correlated, tracking implies that some high income households...

This paper brings a general network analysis to a wide class of games, including strategic innovation, public goods, investment, and social interactions. The major interest, and challenge, is seeing how network structure shapes outcomes. We have a striking result. Equilib- rium conditions depend on...

Girard et Jacob (2008) ont introduit une nouvelle méthode pour estimer la frontière du support d'un couple aléatoire : la méthode des moments d'ordre élevé. La normalité asymptotique de l'estimateur proposé est obtenue seulement dans le cas uniforme. On présente ici un autre estimateur basé sur...

Although evidence accrues in biology, anthropology and experimental economics that homo sapiens is a cooperative species, the reigning assumption in economic theory is that individuals optimize in an autarkic manner (as in Nash and Walrasian equilibrium). I here postulate an interdependent kind of...

Governments in Europe and the US have recently acquired significant stakes in a number of financial institutions, raising fears that they will use their investments to pursue interventionist goals. The comparative analysis of 16 major bail‐outs in Belgium, Germany, France, Ireland, Switzerland, the...
