L'OIT centenaire: pertinence et défis dans un monde du travail en mutation

Alors que l'Organisation internationale du travail (OIT) célèbre son centenaire, le principe fondateur de l'organisation demeure pertinent : les menaces sur la paix prennent racine dans les injustices et inégalités inhérentes aux grandes transformations économiques.

As the International Labour Organization (ILO) celebrates its centenary, its founding precept remains as relevant as ever: the main breeding grounds for threats to peace are the injustices and unequal opportunities that result from ongoing economic transformation.

Has inflation targeting become less credible?: oil prices, global aggregate demand and inflation expectations during the global financial crisis

Following the onset of the global financial crisis (2008) we witness a strengthening of the correlation between crude oil prices and medium-term inflation expectations.

Coming out in America: AIDS, politics, and cultural change

The last few decades witnessed a dramatic change in public opinion towards gay people. This paper uses a difference-in-difference empirical strategy to investigate the hypothesis that the AIDS epidemic and the ensuing endogenous political process led to this transformation.

Contemporaneously, news emerged regarding a suspicious looking bond issue by Venezuela's oil company that was purchased largely by…
