Mardi | 2013-10-15 B103 Nicolas DEBARSY – Fei JIN – Lung-fei LEE This paper considers the large sample properties of the matrix exponential spatial speci cation (MESS) and compares its properties with those of the spatial autoregressive (SAR) model. We nd that the quasimaximum likelihood estimator (QMLE) for the MESS is consistent under heteroskedasticity, a property not shared by the QMLE of the SAR model. For the MESS in both homoskedastic and heteroskedastic cases, consistency is proved and asymptotic distributions […]

Mardi | 2013-10-08 salle des thèses Mouez FODHA This article analyzes the long-term consequences of nuclear waste storage within a general equilibrium framework. The objective is to determine the conditions for which the storage of waste, and thus the transfer of externalities towards the future, can be optimal. These conditions could explain the implementation of intergenerational externalities, justifying an intertemporal Not In My Back Yard behaviour. We …rst show that the choice of the policy instruments determine the feasibility of […]

Mardi | 2013-10-01 salle des thèses Emilia COROVEI – Simona MUTU Generally, the incentives of banks to stock liquid assets are driven by two reasons: the precautionary motive and the speculative motive. Using bank-specific balance sheet data this paper provides empirical evidence of the main drivers of liquidity hoarding behavior in the European banking system during 2004-2011. We propose a time-varying approach to distinguish between liquidity hoarding and non-hoarding banks. The methodology is based on the First Difference GMM estimator […]

Mercredi | 2013-09-18 B103 Aurélien LEROY – Désiré KANGA – Yannick LUCOTTE This paper examines the implications of banking competition for the interest rate channel in Eurozone over the period 2003-2010. Using an Error Correction Model (ECM) approach to measure the long and short-run relationship between money market rates, bank interest rates, and our competition proxy, the Lerner index, we find that competition (i) reduces the bank lending interest rates, (ii) increases the long-term interest pass-through and, (iii) speeds up […]

Mardi | 2013-09-17 salle des thèses Vicente UGALDE À travers la présentation d’un projet pour mettre en œuvre une installation pour le traitement des déchets dangereux au Mexique, la communication proposera une révision des 25 ans de la politique mexicaine des déchets dangereux. L’objectif est d’identifier les idées sous-jacentes de cette politique, et les principaux problèmes qui affectent sa mise en œuvre et de réfléchir à son avenir et son rôle dans la transition vers un comportement plus respectueux de […]
