There are arguably potential wage gains from exports in developing countries. Export markets bring about opportunities for firms and successful exporting firms translate some of the benefits of exports to workers via employment and wage premia. Using comparable data for 61 developing and low-income countries, we document the prevalence of the export wage premia worldwide. With an...

This paper investigates the effect of changes in ambiguity on the value of statistical life (VSL) under the smooth ambiguity model developed by Klibano, Marinacci and Mukerji (2005). Changes in ambiguity over the mortality risk are expressed through the specific concept of stochastic dominance of order n defined by Ekern (1980). We provide sufficient conditions on the individual...

De nos jours, la collaboration entre managers et chercheurs en gestion est délicate. Pourquoi et comment le praticien, souvent limité à un objet d’étude, peut-il créer de la connaissance ? Dans cette communication, nous présentons et explorons les cas de trois recherches menées par des managers. Nous avons actionné des techniques qualitatives de recherche telles que l’analyse de...

La thématique des peurs n’est pas nouvelle. Selon les époques et les contextes socio-culturels, elles évoluent, se modifient, changent. Mais, qu’en est-il aujourd’hui dans notre hypermodernité «hypersécularisée » ? Un changement d’échelle d’analyse majeur s’est opéré à la fin des années 70 avec les processus de mondialisation et d’individualisation de nos sociétés. Les peurs...

Classical energy planning models assume that consumers are rational, which is obviously rarely the case. This paper proposes an original method to take into account the consumer's real behavior in an energy model. This new hybrid model combines technical methods from operations research with behavioral approaches from social sciences and couples a classical energy model with a...

Generally, each member of a supply chain (SC) optimizes his own individual objective and accordingly, plans his activities (e.g. production operations, inventories) without considering a global perspective. The goal of this work is the development of a multiobjective optimization model for cooperative planning between different manufacturing plants belonging to the same SC. The model...
