CLUSTERS ET STRATÉGIES DE DÉVELOPPEMENT EN CHINE
This paper aims to analyse, through the nature and the evolution of clusters, the specific features of the Chinese development model, in relation with FDI and the public accompanying policies that have been implemented. Three types of clusters can be distinguished according to a chronology that fits in with the different stages of development : (i) industrial clusters that developed from reforms initiated at the beginning of the 1980s with the implementation of openness, development and infrastructure policies ; (ii) technological clusters that appeared in the 1990s, largely favoured by innovation policies ; (iii) more recently, the emergence of scientific-industrial clusters within metropolitan regions having implemented scientific policies that attract the R&D functions of multinational corporations. The most original feature of the development strategies, beyond the promotion of clusters on mainspring activities of the different development stages, is the parallel implementation of unbalanced growth on the territorial and the institutional level.INVESTISSEMENTS DIRECTS ÉTRANGERS, CLUSTERS, STRATÉGIE DE DÉVELOPPEMENT, CHINE
MESURE DES EXTERNALITÉS TECHNOLOGIQUES ET PÉCUNIAIRES DANS UN CLUSTER FINANCIER
Cet article se propose d’estimer les économies d’agglomération des activités de services supérieurs au sein du cluster financier luxembourgeois. Le modèle empirique utilisé, inspiré de celui de Midelfart-Knarvik et Steen (1999), fait notamment apparaître l’existence de différents effets externes pécuniaires et technologiques entre le secteur financier et les branches de services aux entreprises et informatiques. Abstract: In this paper, we estimate agglomeration effects which arise in the Luxembourg banking and services industries. The empirical model we use is inspired from Midelfart-Knarvik and Steen (1999). Empirical evidence of technological and pecuniary externalities is found between the financial industry and the computer and business services.CLUSTER FINANCIER, LUXEMBOURG, EXTERNALITÉS TECHNOLOGIQUES, EXTERNALITÉS PÉCUNIAIRES
Maurice Catin, Henri Regnault: Le sud de la Méditerranée face aux défis du libre-échange
National audienceL’ouvrage dirigé par Maurice Catin et Henri Regnault reprend des contributions présentées lors d’un colloque tenu à Madrid, en juin 2004, sur le thème "Europe-Méditerranée : relations économiques internationales et recomposition des espaces". Pour respecter les normes imposées par l’Organisation mondiale du commerce, il a été progressivement instauré une zone de libre-échange entre l’Union européenne et les pays du Sud et de l’Est de la Méditerranée (PSEM), succédant au système préférentiel non réciproque de la politique méditerranéenne globale, mis en place au milieu des années 1970, qui autorisait la libre entrée dans l’Union européenne, sans droits ni quotas, de tous les produits industriels en provenance des pays tiers méditerranéens. Les protections dont ont bénéficié les PSEM ont, par ailleurs, ralenti la "dynamisation" de leur industrie. L’ouvrage, dans sa présentation en quatre parties, met en évidence les quatre défis que doivent maintenant relever les PSEM, le défi de la mondialisation, lié à la montée de la concurrence internationale à laquelle les pays méditerranéens sont confrontés, le défi de la productivité, résultant des blocages de l’industrialisation, le défi démocratique, dépendant des blocages institutionnels et politiques et le défi migratoire, conséquence des blocages précédents

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
The 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
Disparités spatiales de productivité, accumulation du capital et économies d'agglomération.
[fre] L'étude vise à saisir les disparités régionales de productivité, notamment la surproductivité relative de l'Île-de-France dans l'industrie et de manière encore plus manifeste dans les services aux entreprises, à dégager l'influence particulière sur celles-ci du capital privé et public, des différentes économies d'agglomération, et à spécifier leur rôle dans le processus de métropolisation observé ces dernières années. [eng] Spatial disparities of productivity, capital accumulation and economies of agglomeration. . . This research work aims at seizing the local disparities of productivity, and more particularly the relative overproductivity of Ile-de-France in manufacturing and in producer services. It also aims at shaving the particular influence on them of the private and public capitals, of the different economies of agglomeration and to specify their part in the metropolitan concentration observed over this past few years.
Variations on the Author
“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
We 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
We 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
