The Redistributive Aspects of ELIE: a simulationapproach
Get PDFThis paper analyses the problems linked to the implementation of the Equal Labour Income Equalisation (ELIE) scheme proposed by Kolm (2005). It successively studies the influence of uncertainty in the knowledge of individual incomes, the impact of equivalence scales and finally the consequences of capital accumulation. If uncertainty does not modify fundamentally the equity properties of ELIE, equivalence scales can have non trivial consequences depending on the relation between income and fertility. Finally, capital accumulation introduces strong inequalities in taxation. The paper relies on simulations of the income distribution, calibrated on French data and on the use of taxation indices.inequality, ELIE, income distribution
"Phonétique des dialectes de Bagdad, d'Alep, et du Caire (1842-1845) d’après Elie Bérézine"
No full textElie Bérézine, professeur de langues orientales à l’Université de Kazan et Saint Pétersbourg, effectua entre (1842-1845) une mission de recherche en Orient, avec en main une dizaine de dialogues qu’il exposait à ses informateurs pour qu’ils les traduisent. Plus tard (1857) il publia les résultats de cette mission dans son Guide du voyageur en Orient... en y exposant d’abord ses dialogues, puis leurs traductions dans les dialectes de Bagdad, d’Alep et du Caire. Le but de cette recherche est d’illustrer les traits phonologiques qui distinguaient entre eux ces dialectes
The Tradeoff Between Growth and Redistribution: ELIE in an Overlapping Generations Model
Get PDFThe ELIE scheme of Kolm taxes labour capacities instead of labour income in order to circumvent the distortionary effect of taxation on labour supply. Still, Kolm does not study the impact of ELIE on human capital formation and investment. In this paper, we build an overlapping generations (OLG) model with heterogenous agents and endogenous growth driven by investment in human capital. We study the effect of ELIE on education investment and other aggregate economic variables. Calibrating the model to French data, we highlight a tradeoff between growth and redistribution. With a perfect credit market, ELIE is successful in reducing inequalities and poverty, but it is at the expense of lower investment in education and slower growth. In an economy with an imperfect credit market where individuals cannot borrow to educate, the tradeoff between growth and redistribution is not overturned but is less severe. However, it is possible to overturn completely that trade-off simply by changing the base of taxation for the young generation which is equivalent to subsidising education.Education, Growth, Redistribution, Kolm
Elie Wiesel: An Afternoon with Elie Wiesel
No full textNobel Peace Prize winner and Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel is a native of Sighet, Transylvania. In 1944, Wiesel and his family were deported by the Nazis to the Auschwitz concentration camp when he was 15 years old. His mother and younger sister perished there, but his two older sisters survived. Wiesel and his father were later transported to Buchenwald, where his father died.
After World War II, Wiesel studied in Paris and later became a journalist there, yet he remained silent about what he had endured and witnessed as an inmate in the death camps. During an interview with the French writer Francois Mauriac, Wiesel was persuaded to end his silence. He subsequently wrote La Nuit ( Night ), a terrifying account of his experiences in the Nazi death camps. Since its publication in 1958, the book has been translated into 30 languages, and millions of copies have been sold.
Wiesel\u27s personal experience of the Holocaust has led him to use his talents as an author, teacher and storyteller to defend human rights and peace throughout the world. His efforts have earned him the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the U.S. Congressional Gold Medal and the Medal of Liberty Award, the rank of Grand-Croix in the French Legion of Honor, and in 1986, the Nobel Peace Prize. He has received more than 100 honorary degrees from institutions of higher learning.
Wiesel has defended the cause of Soviet and Israeli Jews, Nicaragua\u27s Miskito Indians, Argentina\u27s disappeared, Cambodian refugees, the Kurds, South African apartheid victims, famine victims in Africa and prisoners in the former Yugoslavia.
In 1978 President Jimmy Carter appointed him chairman of the President\u27s Commission on the Holocaust. In 1980 he became founding chairman of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Council. Wiesel is also the founding president of the Paris-based Universal Academy of Cultures. Three months after receiving the Nobel Peace Prize, Wiesel and his wife established The Elie Wiesel Foundation for Humanity to advance the cause of human rights and peace throughout the world by creating a new forum for the discussion of urgent ethical issues confronting humanity.
Wiesel has written more than 40 books which have won numerous awards, including the Grand Prize for Literature from the city of Paris for The Fifth Son. His two-volume memoir, All Rivers Run to the Sea and And the Sea Is Never Full, was published in 1995 and 1999
Elie Wiesel: Conversations
No full textElie Wiesel has given hundreds of interviews. Yet his fame as a human rights advocate often directs such conversations toward non-literary issues. Indeed, many of Wiesel\u27s questioners barely address the writer\u27s role that has defined him since the 1950s.
Unlike previous volumes in which he speaks with interviewers, Elie Wiesel: Conversations collects interviews which set in relief the writer at work. This book focuses on Wiesel the literary artist instead of Wiesel the Holocaust survivor or the 1986 Nobel Peace Prize laureate.
Beyond highlighting Wiesel\u27s literary significance, these interviews also correct many faulty assumptions about his achievement. Few American readers know that he writes in French, that he has been favorably compared to André Malraux and Albert Camus. Not many realize that the Holocaust has been the subject of only a few of his forty books. Particularly in his nonfiction, Wiesel\u27s scope is wide, addressing Jewish life in all its religious and historical complexity.https://corescholar.libraries.wright.edu/dlpp_all/1244/thumbnail.jp
