En paraules del seu autor, autodefinit com “un turista més”, aquest és un llibre dirigit, amb mala intenció, als amants dels viatges i del món. El seu objectiu és analitzar el “drama del turisme”, com ell mateix l’anomena. És el turista un destructor marginal? La pregunta ens trasllada a l’univers on els turistes es converteixen en els principals actius de la “món-fàgia”. Literalment, menjar-se el món. El turisme com a consumidor i principal depredador d’una espècie que resulta el món sencer. Partint del principi de racionalització absoluta introduït per Max Weber a l’era científica i tècnica que significà la industrialització de finals del segle XIX i principis del XX, el sociòleg Rodolphe Christin ens planteja un espai convertit en parc, escenificat i modelitzat per la tecnosfera, on el turista assumeix el paper d’espectador-consumidor, i l’hàbitat el d’actor.In the words of its author, self-described as "another tourist", this is a book intended, with a bad intention, for travel lovers and the world. His goal is to analyze the "tourism drama", as he calls it. Is the tourist a marginal destroyer? The question takes us to the world where tourists become the main assets of the "world-phagia". Literally eating the world. Tourism as the main consumer and predator of a species that is the whole world. Based on the principle of absolute rationalization introduced by Max Weber into the scientific and technical era of industrialization in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, sociologist Rodolphe Christin proposes a park-turned space, staged and modeled by the technosphere, where the tourist assumes the role of spectator-consumer, and the habitat the actor.

Horizontal Mergers, Involuntary Unemployment, and Welfare
Standard welfare analysis of horizontal mergers usually refers to two effects: the anticompetitive market power effect reduces welfare by enabling firms to charge prices above marginal costs, whereas the procompetitive efficiency effect increases welfare by reducing the costs of production (synergies). However, demand-side effects of synergies are usually neglected. We introduce them into a standard oligopoly model of horizontal merger by assuming an (empirically supported) decrease in labour demand due to merger-specific synergies and derive welfare effects. We find that efficiency benefits from horizontal mergers are substantially decreased, if involuntary unemployment exists. However, in full employment economies, demand-side effects remain negligible. Eventually, policy conclusions for merger control are discussed.horizontal mergers, involuntary unemployment, efficiency defense, oligopoly, competition

La nourriture au service de la littérature : le banquet d’inauguration du monument à Karamzine à Simbirsk en 1845
Celebrating Literature with Food : The Inauguration Banquet for Karamzin’s Monument in Simbirsk in 1845.
the present paper analyzes the reference to food in Mikhail Pogodin’s depiction of the banquet given by the nobility of Simbirsk on the occasion of the inauguration of the monument to nikolay Karamzin in 1845. After reminding how the different genres of classical poetry deal with the depiction of food, particularly with fish, the author shows how Pogodin used the specific features of the odic tradition, from the hyperbole to the enthusiastic tone, in his depiction of the Simbirsk banquet.Sapchenko Lioubov, Baudin Rodolphe.

Quantitative Economic Modeling vs Methodological Individualism ?
During a long time, the Austrian Economic School was against any mathematical formalization in social and economic sciences because it would be opposed to an individualist point of view of social phenomenons. We try to find an quantitative individualism modelling way from a criticism of holist modelling. But this paper tries to improve the dilemma of the quantitative modelling : we have to choose between whole representations - which denies individuals - and individualist models which are'nt able all to represent. Each one of these models have got his own logic of elaboration (statistical, experimental etc.) but we have to consider they are complementary from a scientific point of view.Methodological Individualism ; Austrian Economics ; Quantitative Economics ; Computational Economics
