SEMINARE

Die „Probabilismen” sind ein transdisziplinäres Forschungsseminar, das sein Augenmerk auf die Rolle der Probabilitäten in den Wissenschaften richtet. Im Seminar vergleichen Spezialisten jeglicher Wissenschaftsdisziplin ihre Definitionen und Methoden. Augustin Cournots Texte zur Wahrscheinlichkeitstheorie dienen dabei als Inspirationsquelle.

Can we learn something philosophical from experimental philosophy?

Maison des Sciences Économiques

Speaker : Pascal Engel (EHESS)

The debate about the relevance of experimental philosophy has been, in my view, misconceived. Both experimental philosophers and their "a priorist" opponents have assumed that the issue turns upon whether thought experiments can yield philosophical insight and contribute to conceptual analysis, the latter assuming that the answer is positive, the former that it is negative. Both parties over-emphasize the importance of thought experiments and counterfactual thinking in philosophy, as well as the role of intuitions. Philosophy is indeed mostly conceptual analysis, but thought experiments do not play a central role and the role of intuitions is not essential. Philosophy is first and foremost a matter of constructing theories and arguing for them; thought experiments can only make sense within this larger context.

Modelling Wind Resource with Diffusion

CAMPUS DE L’ECOLE POLYTECHNIQUE

Speaker : Alexandre Brouste (Université du Maine)
Commentator : Marie-Noëlle Bouin (Météo France), Josselin Garnier (Ecole polytechnique)

La gestion d'un parc éolien dépend fortement des prévisions de la vitesse et de la direction du vent sur le site. L'exploitation efficace et sûre d'un parc peut s’illustrer dans l’utilisation des moyens de stockage, la vente de la production sur les marchés d’énergies et les opérations d’entretien et de maintenance. Deux processus de diffusion (CIR et processus de diffusion Weibull marginal) sont présentés et évalués pour la prévision de la vitesse du vent à court terme. Ils peuvent constituer une entrée pour les problèmes de contrôle optimal apparaissant dans la gestion opérationnelle.

WHY EUROPE NEEDS A FUNDING MARKETS UNION

Paris

Speaker : Régis Breton (Banque de France)
Commentator : Xavier Timbeau (OFCE)

Following the financial crisis, the European Union took a number of initiatives to foster financial integration between member countries, notably through the Banking Union and more recently through the Capital Markets Union. Do Eurosystem central banks have any particular motivation for accompanying and encouraging this movement?

This seminar will propose a new mechanism by which the barriers to credit market integration challenge the viability and the desirability of a common currency. Credit market integration appears to be a necessary ingredient in order to reap fully the benefit of monetary integration, independently of the homogenous transmission of monetary policy and the asymmetrical shocks that are usually put forward in economic debate.

Economic Crises and the Lender of Last Resort:
Evidence from 19th Century France

Paris

Referent: : Vincent Bignon (Banque de France)
Commentator : Pierre-Charles Pradier (Université Paris I)

Maison des Sciences Économiques
106 - 112 Boulevard de l'Hôpital, 75013 Paris
Room S/18


How can central banks best help to stabilize economic shocks? A historical case from France’s history will be presented. The crisis sparked by the arrival of the agricultural disease phylloxera in the 1860s shows the importance of the conditions of access to central bank loans in stabilizing the default rates of non-financial companies. The results suggest that it must guarantee easy access and a large array of guaranties in its operations with economic agents. What lessons in monetary policy can we draw from this study for the current period?

WHAT FORCES GOVERN THE EVOLUTION OF CEO PAY IN FRANCE?

Paris

Referent: : Lionel Almeida (CNAM - LIRSA)
Commentator : Christophe Clerc Pinsent Masons

Maison des sciences économiques , Salle 115
106 - 112 Boulevard de l'Hôpital
Paris 13e


The pay of Chief Executive Officers (CEO) has rapidly increased over the last decades. How can this development be explained? Is it due to a competitive process used to attract and reward the best talent? Or should institutional factors be taken into account: managerial power, the weight of outsider scrutiny or financial market activism? The study presented in this seminar will bring to light the forces at play by looking at the evolution of CEO pay in listed companies in France since the implementation of new disclosure rules in 2001.

GROWTH THEORY AND THE ENVIRONMENT: DEMATERIALIZING ECONOMIC ANALYSIS

Paris

Referent: Antonin Pottier (CERNA – Ecole des Mines de Paris)

Maison des sciences économiques , Salle 117
106 - 112 Boulevard de l'Hôpital
Paris 13e


En analysant, à travers le prisme des théories de la croissance, la manière dont l'analyse économique orthodoxe fait intervenir l'environnement, ce séminaire met en évidence une tendance de l'analyse économique à se "dématérialiser", c'est-à-dire à ignorer les aspects physiques des relations économiques. Il décrit en particulier le tournant néo-classique avec la figure de Jevons, ainsi que la réponse des théoriciens de la croissance au rapport du club de Rome. Les bifurcations successives vers une analyse économique dématérialisée rendent compte de sa difficulté à prendre en compte les questions environnementales. Le séminaire tente enfin d'expliquer ce que signifie la "dématérialisation" de l'analyse économique et quelles en sont les raisons.

JEVONS AND THE DYNAMICS OF INDUSTRIALIZATION: LESSONS FROM THE PAST AND AN OUTLOOK INTO THE FUTURE

Paris

Referent: Raimund Bleischwitz (UCL Institute for Sustainable Resources)
Diskutant : Aurélien Saussay (OFCE)

The seminar will discuss William Stanley Jevons’ contribution to the issues of energy and industrialization. His book on “The coal question”(1865/66) has been widely perceived as a starting point for critical debates about “limits to growth”, resource availability, the fallacies of efficiency, and understanding the carbon-based industrial system.

We will critically re-examine Jevons’ findings, how his ideas were born and conceptualized, and what lessons have been drawn. We will also look at recent international trends of using key resources and how they have been shaped by stages of industrialization. Finally, we will engage in an outlook on how such trends and innovations can contribute to the aims of the Paris COP on climate change and the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
