Most of them are ad valorem – proportional to the price of the targeted good or service – as the income credit for energy transition, the reduced rate VAT for building thermal retrofitting, the zero-rate loan or the ANAH subsidies. Others are specific i.e. independent from the price: automobile bonus and energy efficiency certificates. We review the arguments for each subsidy type. Compared to specific subsidies, ad valorem ones suffer from four drawbacks: they cause more public spending for a given impact, they distort goods’ quality, they benefit more to wealthier households and they encourage more fraud. However, specific subsidy are not without drawbacks either: the fiscal basis must be defined for every type of good and in case of an unexpected drop in the production cost of the subsidised good, the price of the latter risks becoming virtually zero.","PeriodicalId":44798,"journal":{"name":"REVUE D ECONOMIE POLITIQUE","volume":"24 1","pages":"1089-1100"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83252083","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

On this basis, we calculate a rate of implicit rentability of this global capital in order to test the validity of what Piketty presents as a ?fundamental unbalance?, comparing in the long term the rate of return of capital and the growth rate of income. Piketty?s ?economic law?, linking the coefficient of capital to the ratio savings rate?-?growth rate, is then examined (part?2).

First-best liberal social contracts redistribute individual wealth and determine the level of provision of public commodities to achieve a Pareto-efficient allocation of resources that is unanimously preferred to the allocation of a hypothetical initial situation of perfect communication. We show that the social welfare functionals that aggregate individual social preferences by means of the generalized bargaining solution of Nash support the liberal social contract if they verify non-paternalistic benevolence, that is, if the associate social welfare functions are strictly increasing in the private welfare of all individuals. The existence of a liberal social contract follows as a corollary of this property of supportability. We characterize the liberal social contract as a case of application of Habermas?s norms of communicative action to the allocation of scarce resources by public finance and the market.","PeriodicalId":44798,"journal":{"name":"REVUE D ECONOMIE POLITIQUE","volume":"166 1","pages":"267-296"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76180806","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

L’analyse est faite a partir d’une approche DEA en deux etapes. Dans la premiere etape, l’efficience des IMF est estimee de facon non parametrique, en executant un modele VRS (de rendements d’echelle variables) a orientation input. Au total six modeles d’efficience sont estimes dont trois concernent l’efficience financiere et trois autres, l’efficience sociale. Les scores d’efficience obtenus dans cette premiere etape sont regresses, dans la seconde etape, sur un ensemble de variables environnementales en suivant la procedure bootstrap truncated de Simar et Wilson [2007], plus robuste que les approches classiques basees sur la regression tobit ou les moindres carrees ordinaires. Les resultats de la premiere etape mettent en evidence une faible efficience des IMF de la zone UEMOA. L’inefficience est a la fois technique et d’echelle, mais s’explique davantage par une mauvaise combinaison technique des ressources. Elle est plus palpable sur le plan social que financier. Les resultats de l’estimation post-dea montrent que la rentabilite economique est un determinant essentiel de l’efficience financiere et sociale. Les IMF les plus rentables economiquement sont les plus efficientes tant au plan social que financier. Les IMF les plus grandes et les plus anciennes sont egalement les moins efficientes au plan social. De meme les IMF a profil non commercial sont les plus efficientes du point de vue social.

If rationality can be characterized by conditions on preferences and choices and, in addition, people are, to a reasonable degree of approximation rational, then economists can invoke the theory of rationality to explain choices. If people are also, as in positive economics, largely self-interested and reasonably well-informed, then their preferences will also indicate their level of well-being. Modeling both choice and welfare in terms of rational preferences thus unites positive and normative economics. In explaining market outcomes in terms of individual choices, explaining choices by preferences, and taking preferences to indicate well-being, economists who are concerned with welfare defend a normative theory that piggybacks on their positive theory. This traditional mainstream normative theory is problematic, but because of its unity and its connection to positive economics, it is also very powerful.","PeriodicalId":44798,"journal":{"name":"REVUE D ECONOMIE POLITIQUE","volume":"11 1","pages":"191-208"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81465201","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we propose a model of household recycling that, while including pecuniary and non pecuniary motives for decisions, such as social or moral norms, reveals heterogeneous values of saving time from recycling (VSTR). The predictions of our model are tested using data from a discrete choice experiment on waste management conducted in 2008 in Corsica and estimating a latent-class rank-ordered logit model. We find VSTR clearly heterogeneous across individuals, ranging from 8 % to 76 % of one’s income. francaisBien qu’il soit clairement etabli que le cout d’opportunite du temps consacre au recyclage constitue un determinant essentiel des decisions des menages en matiere de tri des dechets, tres peu de travaux empiriques ont tente d’en fournir une estimation.
