    The aim of this paper is to develop a better understanding of the literature dealing with strategic fiscal behaviours of small EU countries using estimations of tax reaction functions of competing national governments. Deriving a simple model of tax competition in a Nash and Stackelberg game, we use panel data and tools from spatial econometrics to examine the role of small countries in tax competition within the enlarged European Union. We find that interactions are stronger among smaller EU countries than between larges ones and rates set in small countries influence those in big countries. Finally, small countries located in the centre of the EU have more influence on tax policies choices of big countries than small countries located in the periphery of EU.Strategic interactions, tax behaviours, spatial econometrics, European Union, tax competition, small countries.

    International audienceCette note propose une réévaluation de la diagnose sexuelle et de la détermination de l'âge au décès de l'individu azilien Le Peyrat 5 (LP5) [Dordogne, France] daté directement à 11430 ± 150 BP (GifA-99117 ; 13566-13017 cal. BP) à partir de méthodes fiables appliquées à l'os coxal. Cette étude confirme que le squelette LP5 est celui d'un homme adulte vraisemblablement décédé entre 30 et 49 ans. La détermination fiable du sexe de vestiges du Paléolithique supérieur est notamment importante pour la construction d'un corpus de référence visant à mieux appréhender le dimorphisme sexuel extra-pelvien des individus de cette période.

    VEGFA gene locus (6p12) amplification and colorectal cancer : implications for patients' response to therapy

    The aims of this study was to assess the presence of VEGFA genomic alterations in colorectal cancer (CRC) and clarify how these genomic alterations can modulate CRC patients’ response to BV treatment in addition to first line therapy (5fluorouracil, leucovorin, capecitabine, oxaliplatin, mephedrone). Among our goals we aim to find out predictive biomarkers to improve anti-angiogenic therapy efficacy and possibly to develop new therapeutic approaches by setting out new rational drug combinations. Of importance, this study allowed us to contribute to the improving patient’s treatment efficiency as well as reducing the economic cost of ineffective therapy. To conclude, we believe that CRC patients will greatly benefit from our research activities. Altogether, our study helped the setting of personalized therapeutic strategies by: i) identifying those patients who really will profit of BV treatment, ii) sparing unnecessary side effects and costs for the non-responder CRC patients especially and iii) planning future alternative and/or combination treatments for CRC patients based on the functional results
