The fixed-income market in Uruguay
No full textWorking paper version of article published as: de Brun Mascheroni, Julio Ernesto and Gandelman, Nestor and Kamil, Herman and Porzecanski, Arturo C., The Fixed-Income Market in Uruguay (August 2006). Available at SSRN: https://ssrn.com/abstract=929166 or http://dx.doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.929166Uruguay's capital markets remain undeveloped despite the country's financial liberalization dating back to the 1970s, which was reinforced by passage of several additional laws in 1990s whose aim was to promote the local financial markets. The government is able to raise funds domestically in what is a liquid bond market, but private firms continue to fund themselves mostly out of retained earnings or else via bank loans and suppliers' credit. Moreover, when compared to others in Latin America, Uruguayan firms feature the highest ratios of liability dollarization, and corporate debt structures with the shortest maturities - currency and maturity mismatches that render them (and by extension, their creditors) extremely fragile. A deepening of the domestic capital market would probably alleviate this vulnerability of the Uruguayan economy. The financial fragility of Uruguayan firms amplified by corporate governance issues are the main impediments for the development of the capital markets. Given the current firm practices and the absence of sizeable institutional investors besides the Pension funds, the fixed income market will most likely remain a source of funding for very few firms
Spanish Scientific Output in Communication Sciences in WOS. The Scientific Journals in SSCI (2007-12)
No full textAlthough the field of Communication Sciences has been slower to organize in Spain than in other European countries and the United States, in recent years it has shown a clear tendency to growth. One way to trace this process is by analyzing scientific production, and this paper focuses on this aspect. Using bibliometric methods, we analyze scientific journals and papers indexed in Thomson Reuter’s international database, the Social Science Citation Index (SSCI) for Communication. While the focus of the study is Spanish scientific output, the results are related to international activities in this field. The three Spanish journals included in SSCI in recent years: «Comunicar», «Comunicación y Sociedad» and «Estudios sobre el Mensaje Periodístico» were studied in detail. The results show that Spain plays an important role in Communcation journal publishing (4th in the world) and as a producer of scientific papers (6th in the world), with a remarkable evolution, in quantitative terms, especially in the last five years. The inclusion of these three Spanish journals in the international database has been an important contribution to the country's visibility in this field, but there is still a need to promote international collaboration to achieve greater impact and openness in the scientific community

« L’autheur de ce magnifique ouvrage » : Charles Le Brun et la réception de l’escalier des Ambassadeurs
No full textCet article traite de l’implication de Charles Le Brun sur le chantier de l’escalier des Ambassadeurs. L’analyse des comptes des Bâtiments du roi permet de mettre en évidence l’arrivée tardive du premier peintre de Louis XIV sur ce chantier, alors qu’il n’existait pas d’escalier peint dans les résidences princières européennes. Bien que l’architecture fût inventée vraisemblablement sans son intervention, de nombreuses sources imprimées, en particulier une série d’articles parus dans le Mercure galant dans les années 1680, considèrent Le Brun comme l’auteur de l’ensemble de l’ouvrage, y compris de l’architecture. S’il est probable que l’on ait fait appel à lui en raison de l’étroitesse du lieu et du choix de représenter l’histoire du roi, Le Brun a saisi l’opportunité de prouver ses capacités à unir les arts de l’architecture, de la sculpture et de la peinture. L’accès restreint du lieu, qui ne permettait de voir son œuvre que dans les conditions exceptionnelles des fêtes, a sans doute contribué à renforcer le désir de l’artiste de contrôler la réception de son œuvre.This essay discusses the participation of Charles Le Brun in the decoration of the Ambassadors’ Staircase in Versailles. A close reading of the accounts of the Bâtiments du Roi shows that Le Brun, the First Painter to the King, was asked to elaborate the decoration of the staircase later than supposed. Furthermore, painted staircases did not exist in European royal palaces. Although the architecture was most likely created without his involvement, a few sources, especially certain articles published in the Mercure galant during the 1680s, name Le Brun as the author of the entire staircase, including the architecture. While he may have been asked to elaborate the decoration because of the narrowness of the space and the choice to represent the king’s history, Le Brun seized the opportunity to prove his ability to unite the arts of architecture, sculpture and painting. The fact that the access to the staircase was restricted outside the ceremonies probably contributed to strengthening the artist’s desire to control the reception of this work
L'impiego dei fogli elettronici per il calcolo della disponibiltà a pagare in valutazioni contingenti a domanda chiusa e 'double bounded'
No full textThe assessment of the willingness to pay in contingent valuation problems requires, especially in dichotomous choice models, the use of specialized software, more or less complex and expensive. The purpose of this paper is to propose two simple models, implemented on normal spreadsheets, able to provide a first estimate of the average, median and other useful information of the willingness to pay. These data can be helpful for a first analysis of the results or for the planning of a following phase of studies, as in the case of the pre-tests. The first model draws a series of monetary values starting from the ranges of the answers in a double-bounded format. The second implements an algorithm of optimization of maximum likelihood and a grid search model to facilitate the research of initial values of the parameters
L'influence d'un homme sur la géographie française : Conrad Malte-Brun (1775-1826)
No full textThis article looks at geography as it was practiced and preached by an author who wrote after the Revolution, at the time of Napoleon, and under the Restauration, Conrad Malte-Brun. He was a public figure of some considerable influence who had strongly held opinions which, in part, reflected the political, scientific and ideological preoccupations of his time. The focus here is on the internal logic of his thought. His ideas on the nature of geography were often contradictory and sometimes tendentious. They, nevertheless, bear study as they had a considerable influence, although arguably not a strictly positive one, on the future of the discipline and also because they echo the concerns of " literary " or descriptive geographers — including their most modern adherents, the postmodernists.Cet article examine la géographie pratiquée et propagée par Malte-Brun qui écrit après la Révolution et à l'époque de la Restauration. C'est un homme cultivé, opiniâtre, bien connu du public, et dont les jugements répondent surtout aux préoccupations politiques, scientifiques et idéologiques du temps. Je m'intéresse ici à la logique interne de sa pensée. Ses idées sur la nature de la géographie, souvent contradictoires et parfois tendancieuses, sont néanmoins importantes pour leur influence, pas toujours favorable, sur l'avenir de la discipline et parce qu'elles trouvent un écho chez les géographes littéraires, même contemporains.Godlewska Anne. L'influence d'un homme sur la géographie française : Conrad Malte-Brun (1775-1826) . In: Annales de Géographie, t. 100, n°558, 1991. pp. 190-206
La folle course de Charles Le Brun dans le Grand Salon de Vaux-le-Vicomte
No full textThe Grand Salon at Vaux is a complex space, both original and incomplete. It still seems necessary to interpret its stucco decoration in relation to the other arts that constitute it, painting and architecture, trying to eliminate some of the mysteries beyond commonplace ideas. Our object is to link and distinguish these different arts in order to identify the hands that drew and realized the carved elements. Did the sculptor or sculptors of the terminuses diverge from the drawings of their originator Charles Le Brun, to better integrate them into the architectural limits imposed by Louis Le Vau? These terminuses are here attributed to Jacques Houzeau, with the exception of Winter, which is attributed to François Girardon. In the case of the reliefs the author we suggest, Jean Blanchard, faithfully followed the models established by Le Brun. Between liberty and constraint, connections and affinities between architect, painter and sculptors, brought to light by consulting the archives, determined in 1658 the realization of this original and unique programme
