“What is more real than the thoughts in your mind?”, “Re/structure your memories, re/construct your reality, re/define yourself”. The foundation of my research is about practising theory instead of theorising practice.

I attempt to demonstrate how theory and practice can be joined to create a fruitful union, each one feeding the other.

La modernité cinématographique désigne une remise en cause de la représentation classique au moment de la Seconde Guerre mondiale qui se manifeste par un retour au documentaire. Celui-ci se traduit de deux manières : au sein du cinéma hollywoodien, comme en témoignent la fin du Dictateur de Charlie Chaplin et le début de Citizen Kane d’Orson Welles; et dans l’Europe de l’après-guerre avec le néo-réalisme italien. Dans ce contexte, la critique cinématographique définit l’essai comme une des finalités du cinéma moderne alliant ontologie et langage comme en témoignent les textes d’Alexandre Astru

Consistent with high accounting quality reducing information asymmetry between firms and stakeholders, I hypothesize and find that firms with higher accounting quality are able to obtain more trade credit from their suppliers.

Much existing analysis engages with this work in terms of its subject matter and themes and their relationship with its associational, rather than linear, narrative form, with relatively little focus on the stylistics of Marker’s editing.

Abstract:
La thèse contient trois essais sur les entreprises internationales. Le premier essai était développé par Iodice et Tomasi et étudie l'évolution de la structure du travail et des salaires des secteurs manufacturiers italiens au début des années 2000s. Il ressort que les travailleurs s’orientent principalement vers les secteurs non qualifiés, en cohérence avec l'avantage comparatif de l'Italie dans les industries plus traditionnelles. La plupart des changements se sont produits au sein d’industries et surtout au sein d’entreprises, alors que les salaires ne s'ajustent pas proportionnellement. Le

Abstract for Chapter 2:Most of the debate related to innovation now focuses on the disruption theory.This theory is the result of years of research and multiple contributions over the last forty years, the most important ones coming from Clayton Christensen.Still it comes with limitations. This paper therefore examines the usefulness of the theory compared with the contributions of the strategy literature.It concludes that the disruption theory is mostly descriptive, that using it as a prescriptive theory to build a strategy can be quite dangerous, and that incumbents could probably design mor

This thesis examines the organisation of firms under various circumstances Endogenous mergers in an international context In a two country model where firms vary in their production efficiency, amodel of endogenousmergers is developed to examine equilibriummerger configurations and their welfare implications. In autarky, it is found that profitable mergers are welfare decreasing. On the other hand, in the presence of international trade in goods, domestic mergers increase welfare in a country as long as the country is not too large or the country has all the most efficient firms.

Abstract:
The increasing concerns over the environmental sustainability of current development trajectories have brought numerous countries to adopt “greener growth strategies”. However, given the numerous failures that hinder the well- functioning of market mechanisms in relation to the environment, environmental regulations are considered as necessary to align private and public marginal benefit (and cost) curves. This dissertation aims at contributing to the on-going debate in literature on the impact of environmental policies on economic growth. To this end, the first essay of this thesis reviews t

Abstract:
The field of International Trade aims to study the consequences of the spatial disconnection between the activities of production and consumption, which has been allowed by the increasing opening of the economies. However, while most of the history of the field has focused on the role played by production in shaping trade patterns, only recently researchers have emphasized the importance of demand characteristics. This dissertation follows these recent works by containing three essays that specifically study the importance of demand characteristics on export patterns at the microeconomic level

The story of this animation is set in a fictive world, which is situated between the fantasy and the reality. The author tries to present the animation in a style of fairy tale, which is achieved through the use of a digital technique imitating the hue of water color that allows colors to move fluently on screen, thus making the audience feel like reading a children''s picture book.
