Rapport 2009 sur l'état du secteur des télécommunications au Bénin : aperçu sur la mise en oeuvre de la Déclaration de politique du secteur (DPS)
No full textEffets des technologies de l’information et de la communication sur la croissance économique du Bénin
Get PDFEn plein essor, les technologies de l’information et de la communication (TIC) sont devenues un secteur stratégique de l’économie et un facteur important de la croissance économique en offrant des opportunités nouvelles à saisir. L’étude met en lumière les canaux de transmission des contributions des TIC à la croissance. A partir de la technique de l’économétrie des séries temporelles et avec un modèle à correction d’erreur, cette étude analyse le lien entre la croissance économique et le niveau d’investissement dans les technologies de l’information et de la communication au Bénin. Les résultats montrent qu’il existe une relation positive de long terme entre la croissance économique et le capital dans le secteur de l’économie numérique. L’analyse de la causalité au sens de Granger révèle l’existence d’une causalité unidirectionnelle et permet d’affirmer que ce sont les investissements dans les technologies de l’information et de la communication qui favorisent la croissance économique et non l’inverse. Ainsi, le développement des TIC représente pour le Bénin une opportunité pour une croissance économique durable
Une analyse du niveau optimal de pression fiscale au Bénin : cas de l’impôt sur le revenu
Get PDFAu Bénin, la contribution des recettes d’impôt sur le revenu aux recettes fiscales totales est faible, alors que l’Etat cherche davantage de moyens pour financer l’économie. Jusqu’à quel niveau peut-on accroitre la pression fiscale sur le revenu sans détériorer la croissance économique ? En utilisant un modèle de Scully modifié, nous estimons par une double approche méthodologique, le niveau optimal d’impôt sur le revenu. Les résultats de l’estimation montrent que le taux optimal de pression fiscale sur le revenu au Bénin est d’environ 8% du PIB, supérieur au taux moyen de pression fiscale sur le revenu de la période 1980-2017 qui est de 2,21% du PIB. Ceci montre qu’en matière de taxation du revenu, le Bénin dispose donc de potentiel fiscal inexploité. Nous suggérons à l’Etat, une politique fiscale active sur le revenu, en vue de mobiliser davantage de recettes fiscales
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
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
