What Did Matthieu Beroald Transmit to François Béroalde de Verville?
No full text Many tangible and intangible goods were passed down within early modern families. The goods included texts and the knowledge that texts communicated. But how did they relate to the other goods transmitted within families? That question is explored in relation to the scholar Matthieu Beroald and his son François Béroalde de Verville, author of the famous Moyen de parvenir. Matthieu transmitted to François a humanist education, at least one printed volume (probably more), an interest in certain topics (especially chronology), a network of contacts, but little wealth. And François soon donated to his sisters what wealth he did receive. His relationship to his intellectual inheritance from his father was complex and ambivalent. Aspects of François's attitude towards knowledge may have stemmed, via his father, from two grandfather-figures: Matthieu's own father (a barber-surgeon) and Matthieu's relative and benefactor François Vatable (the Hebraicist). </jats:p
Trois essais sur la transmission de la politique monétaire en zone euro
No full textAprès Septembre 2008, du fait du gel du marché interbancaire, d’un manque de liquidité, d’une perte de confiance et des difficultés des institutions financières, la transmission de la politique monétaire au sein de la zone euro a été sévèrement altérée. La Banque Centrale Européenne (BCE) a donc dû avoir recours à des politiques monétaires non-conventionnelles. En considérant, au sein de la zone euro, les contraintes imposées à la banque centrale et la fragmentation des marchés financiers, l’objectif de cette thèse empirique est d’évaluer les canaux de transmission des politiques monétaires conventionnelles et non-conventionnelles de la BCE. Les comportements de prêts des banques étant liés à leurs coûts de financement, le premier essai se focalise sur le canal de transmission des prêts bancaires. Il étudie l’évolution des activités de prêts syndiqués d’institutions financières européennes et leur réaction aux politiques de la BCE. La communication de la banque centrale revêt une importance toute particulière dans une union monétaire. Les deuxième et troisième essais se concentrent sur le canal des signaux. Le deuxième essai étudie sur la communication durant les conférences de presse mensuelles ainsi que ses effets sur la prévisibilité des décisions de politique monétaire et sur les rendements et la volatilité des marchés financiers. Le dernier essai se focalise sur l’utilisation du guidage des taux d’intérêt futurs, une communication non-conventionnelle informant les marchés du niveau futur des taux d’intérêt de court-terme. Il étudie l’efficacité de cette annonce et sa capacité à influencer les prévisions de taux d’intérêt faites par les acteurs de marché.After September 2008, due to a frozen interbank market, shortage of liquidity, loss of confidence, and collapsing financial institutions, the monetary policy transmission in the euro area was severely impaired. Under thus exceptional circumstances, the European Central Bank (ECB) had to turn to non-standard monetary policy measures. Considering, in the euro area, the constrained range of actions and fragmented financial markets, the objective of this empirical thesis is to assess the transmission channels of ECB standard and non-standard monetary policies and their effects on both financial markets and the economy.As banks’ lending behaviors are related to their financing costs, the first essay focuses on bank lending channel. It studies the evolution of lending activities of European financial institutions on the syndicated loan market and its reaction to the ECB standard and non-standard policies. The communication of the central bank is of utmost importance in a monetary union with heterogeneous, in terms of economic situations and cultures, countries. The second and third essays study the signaling channel of monetary policy. The second essay focuses on the communication during monthly press conferences and their effects on the predictability of monetary policy decisions and on financial markets returns and volatility. The last essay concentrates exclusively on the use of \textit{forward guidance} on interest rate, a non-standard central bank communication providing information on future short-term interest rates. It discusses its effectiveness and ability to lower market participants expected interest rates
Social protection
No full textThis chapter analyses models of social protection. The author (Matthieu Clément) first discusses several recent programmes and proceeds by implementing Esping-Andersen’s analytical framework accounting for the plurality of social protection logics and actors. He finds that the two main dimensions that help differentiate social protection types across countries are the extent of decommodification and the extent of informal social protection. Four models of social protection are identified. Although China, India or Brazil, together with Latin American reformers, all fall into the USA-like liberal type, the other emerging countries fall into the social insecurity model, with migrant remittances playing a key role in bolstering family income in the country of origin. The last two models, which are specific to developing economies, are described in detail
L'Ouvrage incomplet sur Matthieu (Opus imperfectum in Matthaeum) et les commentaires en latin sur l'évangile de Matthieu de l'Antiquité. Comparaison exégétique et stylistique ciblée sur la partie A (Mt 1-8)
No full textAs part of the critical edition project of the Incomplete Work on Matthew (Opus imperfectum in Matthaeum, OIM), the present thesis analyzes the links between this anonymous commentary on the Gospel of Matthew, coming from a Riminian subordinationist environment (i.e. “Homean”), and other Latin exegetical works on the same gospel. After recalling, in a state of research, the main characteristics of the corpus taken into account, we carried out a continued exegetical comparison relating to the section Mt 1-8, corresponding to the first part of the OIM, with the fragments remains of the commentary on Matthew by Origen (3rd century), the commentaries on Matthew by Fortunatian of Aquileia and Hilary of Poitiers (mid-4th century), those of Jerome and Chromatius of Aquileia (late 4th century), and the texts by an anonymous Latin author from late Antiquity known as pseudo-Origen. This study was accompanied by a stylistic comparison on certain aspects (appellations of Christ, exegetical vocabulary, personal marks), highlighting the profound originality of the OIM in this regard. The results of this double comparison confirm the deep link of the OIM with Origen's Commentary on Matthew, an influence that the anonymous author shares with Jerome. Furthermore, our study shows for the first time the use in the OIM of the Commentary on Matthew by Chromatius of Aquileia. Finally, the results of the stylistic comparison, accompanied by a theological analysis of the translator's positions, tend to confirm that it is indeed to the author of the OIM that we owe the ancient Latin translation of the Commentary on Matthew of Origen.S'inscrivant dans le projet d'édition critique de l'Ouvrage incomplet sur Matthieu (Opus imperfectum in Matthaeum, OIM), la présente thèse analyse les liens entre ce commentaire anonyme sur l'évangile de Matthieu, provenant d'un milieu subordinationiste riminien (i.e. « homéen »), et d'autres ouvrages exégétiques latins sur le même évangile. Après avoir rappelé, dans un état de la recherche, les principales caractéristiques du corpus pris en compte, nous avons procédé à une comparaison exégétique suivie portant sur la section Mt 1-8, correspondant à la première partie de l'OIM, avec les commentaires sur Matthieu de Fortunatien d'Aquilée et d'Hilaire de Poitiers (milieu IVe siècle), ceux de Jérôme et Chromace d'Aquilée (fin IVe siècle), et les textes d'un auteur latin anonyme de la fin de l'Antiquité surnommé le pseudo-Origène. Cette étude s'est doublée d'une comparaison stylistique sur quelques aspects (appellations du Christ, vocabulaire exégétique, marques de personne), faisant ressortir la profonde originalité de l'OIM à cet égard. Le bilan de cette double comparaison confirme l'influence profonde du Commentaire sur Matthieu d'Origène sur l'OIM, ce qui rapproche l'auteur anonyme de Jérôme. De plus, notre étude met en évidence pour la première fois son utilisation du Commentaire sur Matthieu de Chromace d'Aquilée. Enfin, les résultats de la comparaison stylistique, assortis d'une analyse théologique des positions du traducteur, tendent à confirmer que c'est bien à l'auteur de l'OIM que nous devons l'ancienne traduction latine du Commentaire sur Matthieu d'Origène
Words are not all created equal: A new measure of ECB communication
No full textInternational audienceWe develop a field-specific dictionary to measure the stance of the European Central Bank (ECB) monetary policy (dovish, neutral, hawkish) and the state of the Eurozone economy (positive, neutral, negative) through the content of ECB press conferences. In contrast with traditional textual analysis, we propose a novel approach using term-weighting and contiguous sequence of words (n-grams) to better capture the subtlety of central bank communication. We find that quantifying ECB communication using our field-specific weighted lexicon helps to explain future ECB monetary decisions when considering an augmented Taylor rule. Regarding European stock market volatility, we find that markets are more (less) volatile on the day following a conference with a negative (positive) tone about the euro area economic outlook. Our indicators significantly outperform a textual classification based on the Loughran–McDonald or Apel–Blix Grimaldi dictionaries and a media-based measure of economic policy uncertainty
