The Axiomatic Approach to Population Ethics
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2001)
This paper examines several families of population principles in the light of a set of axioms. In addition to the critical-level utilitarian, number-sensitive critical-level utilitarian and number-dampened families and ...
What Is a Commody? Two Axiomatic Anwers
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2001)
We identify conditions under which preferences over sets of consumption opportunities can be reduced to preferences over bundles of \"commodities\". We distinguish ordinal bundles, whose coordinates are defined up to ...
Inflation Targeting Under Asymmetric Preferences
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2001)
This paper develops and estimates a game-theoretical model of inflation targeting where the central banker's preferences are asymmetric around the targeted rate. In particular, positive deviations from the target can be ...
Ranking Sets of Objects
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2001)
We provide a survey of the literature on ranking sets of objects. The interpretations of those set rankings include those employed in the theory of choice under complete uncertainty, rankings of opportunity sets, set ...

S’inspirant de la réflexion élaborée par le critique Guy Scarpetta dans « Kantor au présent », un recueil d’essais tournant autour du travail de l’homme de théâtre, artiste et peintre disparu en 1990, l’auteur interroge ...
Candidate Stability and Nonbinary Social Choice
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2001)
A desirable property of a voting procedure is that it be immune to the strategic withdrawal of a candidate for election. Dutta, Jackson, and Le Breton (Econometrica, 2001) have established a number of theorems that demonstrate ...
Exact Nonparametric Two-Sample Homogeneity Tests for Possibly Discrete Distributions
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2001)
In this paper, we study several tests for the equality of two unknown distributions. Two are based on empirical distribution functions, three others on nonparametric probability density estimates, and the last ones on ...
On the Political Economy of Sequential Reforms
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2001)
This paper proposes an explanation for why efficient reforms are not carried out when losers have the power to block their implementation, even though compensating them is feasible. We construct a signaling model with ...
La finance islamique: fondements, theorie et realite
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2001)
L’Islam interdit le riba , mot arabe signifiant à la fois usure et intérêt. L’interdiction du rib figure dans la loi islamique, née dans l’Arabie du Moyen Âge. Elle est à la base de la finance islamique qui connut une ...
The Bootstrap of Mean for Dependent Heterogeneous Arrays
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2001)
Presently, conditions ensuring the validity of bootstrap methods for the sample mean of (possibly heterogeneous) near epoch dependent (NED) functions of mixing processes are unknown. Here we establish the validity of the ...
