Les hommes et les femmes sont inégaux face au développement, et d'autant plus dans les PED. En Afrique subsaharienne, le développement des femmes à travers l'éducation est indispensable afin de converger, voire de dépasser les OMD.

Les systèmes de management des risques doivent situer l'action des gestionnaires dans des environnements turbulents. Ceci place le management des risques sur un plan notamment conceptuel. Or, certains cloisonnements et ruptures artificiels peuvent avoir laissé de coté des concepts pertinents....

This article aims to establish a link between the unemployment duration and the inter vivos transfers received by the unemployed individuals. We present a model where the transfer shapes the receiver's job search strategy while the donor bases it on the receiver's unemployment duration....

In this paper, we aim at assessing Markov-switching and threshold models in their ability to identify turning points of economic cycles. By using vintage data that are updated on a monthly basis, we compare their ability to detect ex-post the occurrence of turning points of the classical...

In this paper, we argue that credit market imperfections impact not only the level of unemployment, but also its persistence. For this purpose, we first develop a theoretical model based on the equilibrium matching framework of Mortensen and Pissarides (1999) and Pissarides (2000) where we...
