Integration and voter participation: Evidence from local governments in France
No full textInternational audienceWe study the causal impact of integration on electoral participation, based on the Frenchexperience of intermunicipal cooperation (2001-2018) in which integrated municipalities transfer certainresponsibilities and fiscal revenues from the lower municipal level to the higher intermunicipal level. Usinga discontinuity design analysis with an exogenous population-based rule, we find that voter turnout formunicipal elections decreases significantly within newly highly integrated communities. A supplementaryevent study analysis shows that these municipalities face a significant decrease in fiscal revenues forabout two years after the decision to cooperate. These results suggest that when less is at stake, in termsof responsibilities and fiscal revenues in highly integrated municipalities, citizens feel less involved andelectoral participation decreases. Furthermore, exploiting a 2014 electoral reform, this loss in participationis found to be long-lasting.Keywords: Decentralizati
Exogenous shocks : Definitions, types, and causal identification issues
No full textInternational audienceThe article systematically explores exogenous shocks in leadership and management research. It introduces a special issue of The Leadership Quarterly emphasizing how naturally occurring events like financial crises, pandemics, and regulatory changes can be used for empirical research. Then, it reviews various conceptualizations and ways of integrating exogenous shocks into empirical strategies. Finally, it categorizes exogenous shocks based on their extent, timescale, and granularity of intervention, highlighting challenges in causal identification.<br /
Why So Many Representatives? Extending the Cube Root Law to Local Assemblies
No full textWe investigate the impact of territorial fragmentation on political representation by applying Taagepera’s cube root law to subnational governments. Our model reveals that the total number of local representatives is more elastic to changes in the number of jurisdictions (elasticity e = 2/3) than to variations in population size (e = 1/3), a relationship we refer to as the law of 2/3. As a result, political representation is amplified in fragmented areas. Empirical evidence from diverse datasets supports this new law
Revisiting mindsets for careers research : What we know, what we don’t and why we should care
No full textInternational audiencePurposeBy virtue of affecting how people perceive and respond to challenges, mindsets are conceivably consequential for, though relatively under-studied, in careers research. This paper thereby highlights the importance of bridging the mindsets and careers literature.Design/methodology/approachI review literature describing the ontology of mindsets, before reviewing what is currently known about mindsets in the careers domain. This is followed by theorizing about mindset dynamics in pressing career challenges, and providing avenues for future research.FindingsI outline some of the major implications of fixed and growth mindsets as they (potentially) relate to career-relevant cognitions, emotions and behaviors. I also formulate an agenda for future research with regard to what we study, who we study and how we, as scholars, can study mindsets in careers.Originality/valueThis review enables looking back on the state of mindsets and careers research. The theorizing herein about mindset dynamics in careers also invites scholars to look toward exciting research possibilities about how mindsets can shape careers in ways not yet realized.<br /
Digital and traditional financial inclusion : Trends and drivers
No full textInternational audienceThis study examines the drivers of traditional and digital financial inclusion, emphasizing the catalytic role of digital inclusion in propelling traditional financial inclusion. Utilizing global data from 2004 to 2020, we construct two multidimensional financial inclusion indices: digital and traditional, and observe time trends. We then explore country-level determinants of traditional and digital financial inclusion with a special focus on banking system conditions. Finally, we investigate the role of digital financial inclusion in driving the traditional financial inclusion. Results show a significant improvement in financial inclusion over the period studied. The top countries for digital financial inclusion are primarily African developing nations, while high-income European countries lead in traditional inclusion. In terms of determinants, our main findings reveal that banking system conditions, mobile penetration, and urbanization significantly impact the level of digital and traditional financial inclusion. Moreover, we demonstrate that digital financial inclusion paves the way towards traditional financial inclusion in the medium term.<br /
Detection of Branded Posts in User-Generated Content
No full textInternational audienceUser-generated content (UGC) is a fundamental source of information for the study of consumer behavior, product development, and to assess the quality of service. The expansion of branded content, published and mixed with “ordinary” UGC on the same online platforms, blurs the notions of which content should be considered for these studies. This contribution draws on the notion of “authenticity” to offer a taxonomy distinguishing “branded” from “organic” content and presents a computational method to detect branded content in UGC
Impure motivations in social preferences: Experimental evidence from menu choices
No full textThis article investigates impure motivations in social preferences through an experiment in which participants choose menus of social allocations (i.e. allocations of gains between themselves and another participant). Menu choices reveal the presence of impure motiva- tions: according to a parsimonious theoretical model, negative motivations (e.g. guilt) will imply a preference for smaller menus, whereas positive ones (e.g. pride) a preference for larger sets. By varying the level of publicity of within-menu choice, we can also observe the importance of self- and social image. Data from France and Japan show unambiguously an important impact of impure motivations on preferences on menus, with the suggestion that negative ones exceed positive ones
Contribution of different land use catchments on the microplastic pollution in detention basin sediments
No full textInternational audienceThe assessment of microplastic (MP) pollution in urban areas is essential considering its abundance in freshwater, particularly due to urban wet weather discharge. The precise sources of MPs must be identified to better un- derstand its characteristics. This study examines the relationship between MP pollution in detention basin sediments and land use in the investigated catchments. The study of stormwater management infrastructure, mainly in detention basins, has enabled the quantification of MP abundance in sediments conveyed by storm- water in urban areas. Sediment sampling was conducted in ten detention basins and one combined sewer overflow (CSO) structure in the Lyon metropolitan area, France. These basins correspond to stormwater outlets of representative urban catchment areas. MP extraction involves densimetric separation and organic matter degradation. MPs were then characterized using micro-Fourier infrared spectroscopy and siMPle software. This protocol identified MPs between 50 and 500 μm in the study sites. This study highlights the high abundance in the collected sediment samples, ranging from 2,525 to 1,218,82 MP kg− 1 by dry weight sediment. The MPs found have a median size around 115 μm, making them very small MPs that are mainly composed of polypropylene followed by polyethylene and polystyrene or polyethylene terephthalate. The abundance of MPs in sediments is associated with the land use type. Catchments in predominantly industrial and commercial zones were more significantly polluted with MPs compared with those in predominantly agricultural or heterogeneous zones. Finally, statistical analyses revealed links between sedimentary and urban parameters and MPs concentrations. Several recommendations are given for future research, notably concerning the analyzing of stormwater sedi- ments to understand the sources of MP pollution
Assessing the role of industry 4.0 for enhancing swift trust and coordination in humanitarian supply chain
No full textInternational audienceUnpredictable natural and man-made disasters highlight importance of humanitarian supply chain (HSC) to serve people and affected areas. The main challenges of applying effective relief operations are creating “swift trust” and “coordination” between aid organizations. Implementation of Industry 4.0 facilitates coordination and swift trust within HSC performance. The study intends to assess the readiness status of swift trust and coordination between stakeholders as well as to recommend the most suitable Industry 4.0 tools for improving relief operations. Firstly, a comprehensive set of critical success factors for implementing Industry 4.0 tools are introduced. The factors are categorized into limited groups using Exploratory Factor Analysis. In the next step, hierarchy fuzzy expert system is designed for assessing the readiness status of swift trust and coordination as well as to suggest the most suitable Industry 4.0 tool for enhancing HSC performance within given case study. The framework was applied for three aid organizations to address the pandemic disease in Iran. The outcome denotes that the organization has the highest readiness in logistic and transparency while information quality received the lowest readiness value. In addition to that, the organization should invest on the development of Industry 4.0 enablers including “Internet of Things and Big Data Analytics”. The study extends organizational information process theory within HSC for reaching competitive advantage by information processing. The study suggests theoretical and practical implications by introducing a comprehensive set of critical success factors for implementation of Industry 4.0 and providing practical advice for enhancing HSC performance.<br /
