Mercredi | 2022-03-10 Salle des thèses – 12h30 Yrkamba Bienvenu AMAKOUE – Isabelle RABAUD The increased occurrence of natural disaster and uncertainty linked to epidemics has generated disruption of trade. Our work is included in this field of study. In this paper, we investigate, more precisely, the effect of trade restrictions issued against Ebola-infected countries by their trading partners over the period 2014-2016. We measured the effect of these restrictions on trade between Ebola-infected countries and their trading partners. We […]

Mercredi | 2022-03-03 B103 – 12h00 This study analyzes the existence and determinants of environmental convergence/divergence. We take a bilateral approach where one or more investor partners could use their influence to impact the environmental performance of their investment host country, and thus generate environmental convergence or divergence between home and host country. Based on a sample of 128 countries with bilateral data between 2000 and 2012, we show the existence of the environmental convergence/divergence phenomenon. Our results suggest that […]

Mardi | 2021-12-07 Salle B.103 – 16h What explains varying levels of compliance with public health measures? During the global COVID-19 pandemic, governments around the world have implemented various forms of containment measures or “non-pharmaceutical interventions” (NPIs). These include lockdowns, mask mandates, curfews, the closure of businesses, schools, or places of worship, and more. One factor in public health authorities’ and governments’ decision making about which measures to implement has been anticipated rates of compliance. Compliance, in turn, affects the […]

Mercredi | 2021-12-03 Salle des thèses – 12h Jedah OGWENO The literature on regional integration has acknowledged the use of macroeconomic convergence programs to align domestic policies regarding fiscal deficits, public debt, inflation, interest rates and exchange rates, and foster the monetary integration process. This paper analyses fiscal convergence and its contribution to fiscal sustainability in African Regional Economic Communities (RECs) over the period 2000 to 2019 using data on government debt, revenue and expenditure. Log t convergence tests indicate […]

Mardi | 2021-11-30 16h – Salle des thèses VOLKER NITSCH When one country imposes financial sanctions against another country, its domestic banks must end business relations with targeted counterparties. Based on regulatory data, we show that banks domiciled in Germany reduce lending in countries targeted by German sanctions. However, German bank subsidiaries and branches domiciled abroad increase their positions in the sanctioned countries by 44% relative to their parent banks at home. This incremental effect increases to 95% for German […]

Mardi | 2021-11-23 16h – B103 What is the role market- and bank-based debt play in the climate transition process? We presentevidence that bond markets price the risk that assets held by fossil fuel firms strand, while banks inthe syndicated loan market seemingly do not price this risk much. Consequently, to fulfill theirfinancing needs fossil fuel firms increasingly rely less on bonds and more on loans. We caninterpret the within-firm bond-to-loan substitution along stranding risk as a contraction in the […]

Mercredi | 2021-11-18 B103 – 12h00 Jentry JONES Is it easier or harder to bargain in a multidimensional bargaining setting? Though multidimensional bargaining settings are common, different literatures have different answers. Individuals’ interests are not necessarily diametrically opposed in multiple dimensions, but multiple dimensions are conceptually more challenging and may unintentionally lead to an increased dependence on heuristics. This experiment uses an induced value, bidimensional Nash Demand Game to investigate how a multidimensional framing of the bargaining setting can affect […]

Mercredi | 2021-10-07 Salle des thèses – 12h Hugo ORIOLA – Patrick VILLIEU – Maxime MENUET This article challenges the claim that an independent conservative central bank strengthens the chances of a conservative government. In contrast, if the election is based on the comparative advantages of the different candidates, an inflation-fighter central banker can deter the chances of a conservative candidate, because, once inflation is removed, its comparative advantage in the fight against inflation disappears. Theoretically, in a policy-mix game […]
