Equilibrium transition study for a hybrid MAV
No full textWind tunnel testing was performed on a VTOL aircraft in order to characterize longitudinal flight behavior during an equilibrium transition between vertical and horizontal flight modes. Trim values for airspeed, pitch, motor speed and elevator position were determined. Data was collected by independently varying the trim parameters, and stability and control derivatives were identified as functions of the trim pitch angle. A linear fractional representation model was then proposed, along with several methods to improve longitudinal control of the aircraft
Rendre à César ce qui est à César et à Dieu ce qui est à Dieu. Mise en perspective par la doctrine monétaire
No full textInternational audienceCet article expose la scène dite du « paiement de l’impôt à César » (Mt 22,15-21) à travers le prisme de la doctrine monétaire en s’appuyant sur les commentaires de quelques Pères latins. L’interprétation théologique de la scène change radicalement en fonction de la vision de la nature de la monnaie : le denier qui est présenté à Jésus peut être perçu comme une monnaie-marchandise – il est frappé à l’image de l’empereur – ou une monnaie-signe – il est l’étalon de mesure de l’impôt. Les paroles du Christ mettent alors en parallèle deux acquittements : celui d’une dette contractée envers César, à celui d’une dette contractée envers Dieu
Les Nouvelles Ecclésiastiques (1728-1750) face à leurs opposants : quelques polémiques autour du prêt à intérêt
No full textThe present article highlights the opposition of the most important clandestine journal of the eighteenth century, the Nouvelles Ecclésiastiques (1728-1750), in the spread of new "liberal" ideas, particularly around the controversies about interest-bearing loans. The clandestine nature of the publication process offers two advantages: a freedom of expression for authors, and a large dissemination by provincial printers. The article provides two important findings. First, the periodical develops an argument based on the social impact of credit that affected the thought of some first economists belonging to the Gournay circle. Second, by strongly decrying the theses of the "first philosophers", the periodical fostered the development of an irreligious philosophical thought and allowed a larger dissemination of the Encyclopédie

Fiscal rule and shock amplification : A stochastic endogenous growth model
No full textThis paper develops a discrete-time stochastic endogenous growth model to study the amplification role of fiscal rules. In our model, transitory shocks exert permanent effects on the level of variables in equilibrium (hysteresis), and can be strongly amplified by the public debt adjustment, leading to a procyclical amplification mechanism (the "public debt accelerator"). This procyclical stance depends on the speed of adjustment of the debt-to-GDP ratio under a fixed-fiscal rule. A cold turkey strategy removes the public debt shock, but at the risk of destabilizing other variables, while a gradualist strategy has a stabilization effect, with detrimental consequences in the long-run. Finally, we show that a flexible-fiscal rule helps smooth aggregate variables by limiting the cuts in productive public spending
