Communication, Correlation and Cooperation

Abstract: The purpose of this presentation is to introduce models of extension of games with preplay or intraplay information and communication. These extensions will allow us to define new notions of equilibria. The relevant question is to see how the outcomes change when communication between players is allowed, or when they are given some kind of preplay information.

L’évaluation dans les universités en Europe : une décennie de changements

Abstract: Dans les universites europeennes, la « culture » de l'evaluation n’est apparue que recemment, au debut des annees 1990 Pour l’apprehender dans son ensemble, il s’est avere necessaire d’analyser les tendances d’histoire et de politique qui ont faconne differents systemes universitaires C’est ce qui a ete realise dans le cadre d’un appel d’offre de la commission europeenne, avec la recherche EVALUE, qui porte sur huit pays europeens, et qui est presentee dans la premiere partie Un etat des lieux sur l’evaluation dans les universites europeenne est ensuite realise dans la deuxieme partie Dans la troisieme partie, on decrit les dynamiques a l’oeuvre Enfin, la derniere partie propose une typologie de l’evaluation dans les universites en Europe

Non-monetary poverty in Togo: a multidimensional approach

Abstract: The monetary approach is not sufficient to understand the multiple dimension of poverty. The purpose of this research is therefore to measure and analyze multidimensional poverty reduced to a single non-monetary dimension and according to the characteristics of household heads. Based on the non-monetary variables provided by the most recent country survey (QUIBB 2006), we use Multidimensional Correspondence Analysis techniques to construct a Composite Poverty Indicator. The results of the non-poverty index suggest that the poorest are large families and households in rural areas. The deprivation is also more serious in households whose heads are male, aged between 51 and 99 and less educated. The findings are the same for the monetary approach at the poverty line, leading to the conclusion that both types of poverty are quite strongly and positively correlated. Finally, we propose some recommendations for socioeconomic policies.

Sinaıˇ's condition for real valued Lévy processes

Abstract: We prove that the upward ladder height subordinator H associated to a real valued Levy process ξ has Laplace exponent φ that varies regularly at ∞ (respectively, at 0) if and only if the underlying Levy process ξ satisfies Sinaiˇ's condition at 0 (respectively, at ∞). Sinaiˇ's condition for real valued Levy processes is the continuous time analogue of Sinaiˇ's condition for random walks. We provide several criteria in terms of the characteristics of ξ to determine whether or not it satisfies Sinaiˇ's condition. Some of these criteria are deduced from tail estimates of the Levy measure of H , here obtained, and which are analogous to the estimates of the tail distribution of the ladder height random variable of a random walk which are due to Veraverbeke and Grubel.
