Financiarisation, de quoi parle-t-on ?
Full text linkFrançois Morin, professeur de sciences économiques à l'Université Toulouse 1 Capitole de 1975 à 2006 est aujourd'hui professeur émérite. Il est une personnalité manquante de cette discipline dont les évolutions ont transformé l'environnement socio-économique des quarante dernières années. Dès les années 1970, il étudie la structure financière du capitalisme français à partir de l'ananlyse de la structure de propriété des 200 plus grands groupes industriels et financiers. Il n'aura de cesse d'affiner sa méthode qui reste pertinente pour détecter le pouvoir de décision qui est encastré dans la propriété du capital. Ses travaux sur la corporate gouvernance et sur l'évolution des formes du capitalisme ont très tôt montré les risques que constituait la pénétration des investisseurs institutionnels dans les conseils d'administration des firmes. Les réformes financières successives en libéralisant les taux de change, les taux d'intérêt, la circulation des capitaux, l'ouverture du capital des firmes, ont ouvert la boite de Pandore. Les banques, en devenant les principaux acteurs sur les marchés financiers, ont alimenté massivement les bulles jusqu'à l'explosion.\ud
Au sein du laboratoire d'économie toulousain dont il est un des membres fondateurs en 1976, le laboratoire d'étude et de recherche sur l'économie de la production (Lerep) devenu Lereps (Laboratoire d'étude et de recherche sur l'économie, les politiques et les systèmes sociaux), François Morin a initié nombre de chercheurs à ces problématiques fondamentales.\ud
Le plan de l'ouvrage qui lui est dédié fait écho au thème central de son oeuvre. La financiarisation. De la montée en puissance d'acteurs extrêmement puissants sur les marchés financiers, à la responsabilité des agences de notation en passant par l'analyse de la titrisations des dettes souveraines, des conséquences sur les entreprises et les inégalités, ces contributions décryptent les différents aspects de ce capitalisme financiarisé aujourd'hui en crise et s'interrogent sur la responsabilité de l'économiste en tant que citoyen.\ud
Ces articles traduisent l'estime, le respect et l'amitié dont il a fait l'objet et contribent à faire de ces mélanges un témoignage de la profondeur humaine des relations que François Morin a su tisser tout au long de son parcours
De la rationalité complexe à la rationalité procédurale : la relation système observé et système observant
No full textTraduction de l'article, ISLA Anne, 2000,Version française de ISLA Anne, 2000, “From procedural to complex rationality, relations observed system and observing system”, European Journal of Economic and Social System, 14 n°4, 347-363 https://ejess.edpsciences.org/articles/ejess/pdf/2000/04/isla.pdfProcedural rationality and substantive rationality call for two different approaches in terms of methodology and epistemology. While in the first case, the question of interest is “what is it made of?” The appropriate methodology is analytic and the epistemology, positivist. In the second case, the question will be “what does it make, and why?” the methodology complex and the epistemology, constructivist. The object of study will be different in both cases. The choice of a methodology also reflects a different view of uncertainty. As a consequence, it is impossible to use simultaneously the two rationality concepts and to study the behavior of an economic agent. How can we then classify the economical theories according to either one of the rationality concept and reasoning approach (complex or analytic)? The Economics of Convention School, developed in France, offers a conceptual framework consistent with a complex approach. It still has to adhere to that complex approach in a more total way, by assuming the economist observer’s projects and aims.Rationalité substantielle et rationalité procédurale renvoient à deux approches méthodologique et épistémologique. Alors que dans le premier cas la question est « de quoi est-ce fait ? », l’approche méthodologique est positiviste et l’épistémologie analytique. Dans le second cas, la question est « Qu’est-ce que ça fait, pourquoi ? », la méthodologie est complexe et l’épistémologie constructiviste. L’objet de l’étude est différent dans les deux cas. Le choix de la méthodologie reflète aussi différentes visions de l’incertitude. En outre, mobiliser une approche complexe, c’est aussi assumer les objectifs et les projets de l’économiste qui observe. Par conséquent il est impossible de mobiliser simultanément les deux concepts de rationalité pour étudier le comportement d’un agent économique. Comment pourrions-nous classer les différentes théories économiques en fonction du concept de rationalité qu’elles utilisent et du mode de raisonnement qu’elles appliquent (complexe ou analytique) ? L’école de l’Economie des Conventions développée en France, offre une approche compatible avec l’approche complexe
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
Full text linkWe 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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
