Are some banks prone to perform poorly during crises? If yes, why? In this paper, we show that a bank's stock return performance during the 1998 crisis predicts its stock return performance and probability of failure during the recent financial crisis. Thi ...
La construction de l’Union Européenne (UE) a contribué au processus de « défonctionnalisation des frontières » (Raffestin, 1976) à l’intérieur de l’espace Schengen. Cette dévaluation (Foucher, 1991) correspond au « Debordering » des frontières (Lotard, Bro ...
We propose a tractable equilibrium model for pricing defaultable bonds that are subject to contagion risk. Contagion arises because agents with 'fragile beliefs' are uncertain about both the underlying state of the economy and the posterior probabilities a ...
Avec Internet, l’espace a tant changé que la société est animée d’un mouvement dont la dynamique est peu lisible, car peu familière. Nier la réalité et la spatialité d’Internet expose à la déréalisation de nombre d’actions qui contribuent remarquablement à ...
We study optimal securitization in the presence of an initial moral hazard. A financial intermediary creates and then sells to outside investors defaultable assets, whose default risk is determined by the unobservable costly effort exerted by the intermedi ...
We find and compare two simple fiscal rules. The first is a theoretical rule that approximates well Ramsey-optimal fiscal policy in a DSGE model calibrated to the U.S. economy over the period 1955:1 to 2007:3. The second is an empirical rule that approxima ...

Au-delà de leurs objectifs initiaux d'échange ou de diffusion de référentiels cartographiques, les plates-formes de mutualisation et autre partenariats autour de l'information géographique tentent progressivement de mettre en place des dispositifs de copro ...
In the face of the current crisis, a constant and uninterrupted process of renegotiation takes place in the European city. A renegotiation at the level of the definition of who and what constitute the system and who do not. The article focuses on processes ...
