With data from the 2015 household standard of living survey (ENV2015), we use the Chaudhuri, Jalan and Suryahadi model (2002) to measure the vulnerability to poverty of rural households in Cote d’Ivoire. Our work reveals that 34% of households are vulnerable while 25% are poor. The analysis of the influence of certain factors on this vulnerability was based on a tobit model. We come to the conclusion that farm and trade households are more vulnerable than those in industry and services. Also, households with a head of at least secondary education are less vulnerable than those whose head is at most at the primary level. Finally, contrary to many studies, we find that access to credit has a bad influence on the vulnerability of rural households to poverty. The origin and use of these rural credits would explain this last relationship.","PeriodicalId":30520,"journal":{"name":"Studies and Scientific Researches Economics Edition","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43851800","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We start from the widely acknowledged idea that communication is a new and emerging field, drawing its concepts, theories, and methods from diverse other fields and domains. In Romania, as well as in other former communist countries, after 1990 the changes in the political and economic situation created the premises to establish university programs in communication and to create jobs for people working in communication. All these were possible with the help of “imports” from the Western world, imports that transferred not only concepts and theories, but also the epistemological dispute and weakness of the field. This paper explores the development and the current state of communication as an academic discipline in Romania. Through an analysis of the social documents available on the University program’s website, we seek to understand the theoretical roots of the discipline of communication, as well as its current development.","PeriodicalId":30520,"journal":{"name":"Studies and Scientific Researches Economics Edition","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45768793","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
