How do effective taxation and institutions affect FDI nowadays?
No full textInternational audienceWe explore the effects of effective taxation and institutional quality on sectoral FDI. Our analysis includes European countries, using data from 2002 to 2020. Employing a GMM approach, we show that an increase in effective taxation reduces sectoral FDI flow. Among the institutional variables, tertiary enrolment attracts FDI, while secondary attainment has varying effects depending on the sector. Our findings suggest that governments should lower taxes to encourage more FDI flows and strengthen tertiary and secondary enrolment
Exploring Cognitive Aging in Autism: A Lifespan Perspective
No full textInternational audienceThe global population of autistic individuals over the age of 60 is expected to reach 21 million by 2050. However, research focusing on aging in autism is still very limited. The few studies on cognitive aging in autism have shown contradictory results, suggesting that aging may be accelerated, parallel, or slowed down compared to neurotypical aging. This study aims to examine the evolution of cognitive functions in autism across aging. So far, 45 autistic and 76 neurotypical adults (19–62 years), matched on sexratio and education participated in this study. Questionnaire and cognitive tests assessing processing speed, executive functions (inhibition, flexibility, subjective executive functioning), and memory (episodic, verbal-short term and verbal working memory) have been proposed. Preliminary results show that autistic adults perform worse in processing speed, episodic memory, flexibility, and self-report more executive difficulties. Despite these differences, the aging process appears to be relatively similar between autistic and non-autistic adults across all cognitive functions. These findings support recent studies suggesting a parallel rather than accelerated aging process in autism, and thus encourage further study

The effects of population health on political risk
No full textInternational audiencePolitical risk is a significant barrier to sustainable economic development. Identifying factors that can help mitigate it is therefore essential. This study contributes to the literature by examining an often-overlooked yet important factor: population health. Specifically, we investigate whether improvements in population health can reduce political risk in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). To this end, we use a new measure of health that accounts for both life expectancy and morbidity, allowing us to assess both the quality and length of life. Using panel data from 32 SSA countries (1991–2021), we find that better health conditions significantly reduce political risk. Moreover, we identify income per capita, financial development, and education as key transmission mechanisms, with education emerging as the primary channel. Extending the analysis to a global sample confirms the negative relationship between health and political risk, as well as the relevance of the identified transmission mechanisms. By highlighting the critical role of population health in reducing political risk, this study underscores that investing in population health is not only a moral duty but also a strategic necessity for sustainable economic development
Teaching Palliative Medicine in the Medical School Clerkship in France. A National E-Survey
No full textInternational audienceContext: There is considerable variation in the way that palliative medicine is taught allaround the globe. No comprehensive study has yet been conducted on the content of this teaching, particularly regarding clerkships and theoretical teaching (lectures, group teaching) in France. This would facilitate the standardisation of palliative care training throughout the country.Objectives: The main objective of this study is to provide a comprehensive description of the theoretical and practical training in palliative medicine that is offered during medical school clinical yearsstudies in France.Methods: We conducted an online specially designed survey of the 34 medical schools in France, that offer a complete second cycle of medical studies. It was sent to the head of teaching between February and April 2024.Results: The response rate was 100%. In terms of clerkships, 30 institutions (88.24%) offer placements to second-cycle students (primarily in teaching hospitals) but for a limited number of their students. Thirty-three universities provided theoretical teaching, which is predominantly lecture-based (58.82%) or group-based (large group 38.24% and small group 47.06%). Moreover, we frequently observed a combination of different teaching methods, in particular group teaching and lectures (27%).Conclusion: Training in palliative medicine during medical school in France varies widely. Practical training is available but limited in access, while theoretical training meets international standards but does not fully align with the EAPC objectives. Based on these results, the authors advocates for developing an access for all students to clerkships, and the development of theoretical teaching preferably in small groups in all universities
