This paper studies environmental taxation in a Mirrlees setting when energy, a polluting good, is used both as a factor of production and a final consumption good. The model is calibrated for the Czech economy. We study two different tax systems. Both consider a non-linear income tax but the first...

Carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) can help to mitigate the climate change transition. Usually, in models where the atmospheric carbon stock is constrained by an institutional stabilization cap and under constant average CCS cost, the use of CCS must be delayed up to the time at which the...

We present an overview of corporate-finance models where firms are subject to exogenous market frictions. These models, albeit quite simple, yield reasonable predictions regarding financing, pay-outs and default, as well as asset-pricing implications. The price to pay for the said simplicity is the...

We study exchanges between three overlapping generations with non-dynastic altruism. The middleaged choose informal care provided to their parents and education expenditures for their children. The young enjoy their education, while the old may leave a bequest to their children. Within each period...

Les règles fiscales autofinancées conduisent souvent à une indétermination réelle de l’équilibre macroéconomique, laissant ainsi la place à des fluctuations de type « taches solaires ». Dans le cadre d’une économie fermée, la tva sociale échappe à cette propriété et réduit uniquement l’élasticité...

We show how to use a long period of observation of all food purchases at the household level to infer the profile of average individual caloric intakes according to the gender, age and the body mass index of household members. Using data from France, we apply this method to analyze the relationship...

We present a model of endogenous growth in which the use of a non-renewable resource in production yields CO2 emissions whose accumulated stock negatively affects welfare. A CCS technology enables, via some effort, a partial reduction of these emissions. We characterize the social optimum and how...

A sender wishes to transmit a secret to a receiver through a communication network, where some nodes are controlled by an adversary. We characterize the directed networks for which there exist ε-secret and ε-strongly secure communication protocols (∀ε > 0): if all nodes are obedient the receiver...

Nous nous intéressons dans ce travail à une diffusion issue d’une descente de gradient, dont le terme de dérive utilise une mémoire sur le passé de la trajectoire. Le processus ainsi introduit est non-Markovien. Nous étudions les propriétés de stabilité et de convergence à l’équilibre des mesures d...
