Le yoyo et la locomotive. Évolution récente de la place de l'Ile-de-France dans l'économie nationale
No full textDuring the eighties, the parisian economy experienced a radical shift. Deindustrialisation has been undergoing, and stroke even the heart of the regional « high tech » : defence electronics and aeronautics ; research and development of the manufacturing sector lost jobs. Meanwhile, two types of activities especially increased : expertise services to firms, and, in ail the sectors, jobs devoted to markets (sales, procurement, marketing,...). Many evidence show that the specialisation in such an economy of expertise and intermediation to market, deals with globalisation. That is, henceforth, the main role of the Paris region in the French economy. On the other hand, the parisian activity is more and more dependant upon international business cycles. This would explain that the parisian labour market witnessed a huge reversal since 1990.Au cours des années quatre-vingts, le système productif de la région parisienne a changé de registre. La désindustrialisation s'est poursuivie, touchant le cœur de la « high tech » régionale : l'électronique de défense et l'aéronautique, et réduisant même les activités de recherche-développement régionales. Deux types d'activités se sont particulièrement développées : les services d'expertise aux entreprises, et, dans tous les secteurs d'activité, la fonction de commerce-marketing. Plusieurs arguments permettent de penser que cette spécialisation dans une économie d'expertise et d'intermédiation aux marchés, est en relation directe avec la globalisation. C'est désormais là qu'il faut voir le rôle de Paris dans l'économie nationale. En contrepartie, cela se traduit par une dépendance accrue de l'activité parisienne à l'égard des cycles conjoncturels internationaux. Cela expliquerait l'ampleur du revirement du marché du travail parisien depuis le retournement de conjoncture de 1990.Beckouche Pierre. Le yoyo et la locomotive.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
L’espace économique euroméditerranéen ou la difficulté de passer de l’analyse à l’action
Get PDFDes trois grandes « régions Nord-Sud » du globe, l’Euroméditerranée est celle qui est la mieux connue, qui a fait l’objet du plus grand nombre de diagnostics et recommandations depuis le lancement du processus de Barcelone en 1995. Mais paradoxalement, les flux d’échanges, en particulier dans le domaine économique, y sont incomparablement moins importants qu’au sein de l’Alena ou de l’Asie orientale. L’auteur y voit trois raisons. La première relève de la méthode : les meilleurs diagnostics sont peu utiles s’ils n’ont pas été produits de manière partenariale, or, en l’état actuel des choses, ce sont les Européens qui les font et les pays du Sud qui sont supposés les appliquer. La deuxième raison est que la juxtaposition de diagnostics sectoriels ne fait pas une politique régionale d’ensemble ; il manque une lecture transversale, que la Politique européenne du voisinage n’apporte pas vraiment car elle est fondée sur des relations bilatérales entre l’UE et chacun des pays partenaires méditerranéens. La dernière raison est que la liaison n’est pas organisée entre les milieux universitaires, les milieux d’affaires et les décideurs politiques. On peut espérer que le projet d’Union pour la Méditerranée permettra un progrès sur ces trois points.Among the three North-Sourth macroregions, the so-called Euromediterranean ensemble is better known and more deeply studied than others. Since the kick-off of the Barcelona Process in 1995, many publications providing diagnostics and recommendations have been released. Nevertheless, unexpectedly, the exchange flows, especially in the economic field, are far lower than in other macroregional ensembles such as Nafta and eastern Asia. According to the author of this paper, there are three mains causes to such a situation. First, even the best diagnostics are useless if they are not the result of a real cooperation between equal partners. Until now, the proposed recommendations have been made by the Europeans ; the states of the South are expected to simply implement them. Second, to draw a comprehensive regional policy from the accumulation of various sectorial diagnostics is impossible. Such a method lacks of a real transversal view. Unfortunately, the European neighbourhood Policy does not bring a relevant response to that problem because it is mainly based on a bilateral method, accumulating agreements between the EU and each Mediterranean country. Last, there is no organised link and systematic exchange between academicians, businessmen and policy makers yet. Is the project of “Union for the Mediterranean” likely to pave the way for substantial improvements in these three fields
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
