Abstract:

As human activities continue to generate accelerating levels of carbon dioxide emissions, the world’s oceanic resources are threatened by variability in seawater chemistry, known as ocean acidification. Recent increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide have resulted in decreased carbonate ion concentrations and ocean pH levels, leading to increasingly acidic waters. The exact consequences of these chemical changes on ecosystems and individual species are difficult to predict; however, research has shown that economically valuable calcifying species will experience reduced reproductive fitness and

This thesis examines the economic and political aspects of the Soviet distant water fleet. The Soviet Union is the number two fishing nation, responsible for 12% of the world catch.

The 1990's will be a challenging decade for the Soviet fishing industry. Fish will remain a source of much sought after hard currency and food, but the prospects for the optimistic growth forecasted by the Soviet government

In our case, we believe that the main reason for developments of the output variables and the exchange rate is the extraordinary large and rapid inflow of foreign aid money. In summary, we find the overall impact of the tsunami on the Sri Lankan economy to be minor.</p>

Abstract:

La France s’implante à Mayotte en 1841, mais la ratification royale est attendue deux longues années par les autorités de Saint-Denis de la Réunion. Ces simples faits sont révélateurs de deux attitudes bien distinctes : celle de la métropole coloniale et celle de sa colonie insulaire isolée dans l’océan Indien. Les intérêts sont donc divergents : il importe de les recenser et de mesurer leur influence sur les politiques menées et les moyens accordés ou non. Durant plus d’un siècle, ces intérêts ont-ils connu des mutations, des modifications radicales ? La politique coloniale en a-t-elle été l’

Master of Agribusiness<br>Agricultural Economics<br>Vincent R. Amanor-Boadu<br>The rapidly changing economic environment in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DR Congo) offers significant opportunities for businesses. The food and agribusiness sector is one of the major opportunities for growth given that increasing incomes are going to enhance the food and nutrition security needs of an increasing segment of the population. Animal protein in the form of chicken meat and eggs are relatively inexpensive and offer an opportunity for entry and differentiation in a markets located in DR Congo’s lar

Abstract:

This thesis provides insight to the dynamics that come with the emergence of IoT in the furniture and kitchen manufacturing industry. The study is empirically grounded in an explorative case study that involves interviews with six manufacturing companies in the different industry sectors. The purpose has been to shed light on how incumbent companies adapt and implement IoT and the study highlight product features, aspects and challenges that companies are investigating and dealing with as they set out to work with IoT and connected products. The results indicate that companies are viewing IoT

Abstract:

This thesis focuses on the changing modes of state intervention into the economy in neoliberalism. It contends that the so called free market is neither a natural process nor an inevitable result of the harmony of interest, but the result of a deliberate political making process. The global economic crisis provided ample evidence to refute the claim that state and market are separately existing and antagonistic entities and indicates that the issue is not the market or the state, since the state in a capitalist society is equally subordinate to capital, simply providing an alternative mode of

Abstract:

Dans un cadre théorique construit à partir de la théorie des paradigmes scientifiques de Kuhn, les sciences de la gestion des pêches, la biologie et la science économique néo-classique, sont soumises à une approche critique. L’économie politique radicale est vue comme un paradigme qui permet une critique de certains postulats fondamentaux de l’économie néo-classique des pêches. L’évolution de la gestion des stocks de poisson de fond de l’Atlantique du Nord-Ouest, plus particulièrement ceux du Golfe du Saint-Laurent, est analysée à partir de cette approche.

Abstract:

On propose d'analyser la gestion de la dette publique pour montrer que, si l'on tient compte des critères d'optimalité, la dette publique peut être un choix de financement du déficit public plus judicieux par rapport à la hausse des prélèvements obligatoires ou au seigneuriage. Pour ce faire, une étude comparative entre ces trois modes de financement est menée en tenant compte de leur faisabilité institutionnelle et en revisitant la notion d'optimalité d'un point de vue financier, i.e. compte-tenu des impacts sur la santé financière de l'Etat et d'un point de vue économique, i.e. par rapport à

Les stratégies d’entreprises dites « BoP » (pour Bottom/Base of the Pyramid) impliquent la création de produits/services au bas de la pyramide économique, soit 4 milliards d’individus vivant avec moins de 9$ par jour. Les chercheurs et les professionnels expriment l’intérêt de ces stratégies mais relèvent la difficulté d’obtention simultanée des performances économique (pour la firme) et sociale (pour le marché BoP). Notre recherche doctorale s’inscrit dans cette lignée et pose les questions de recherche suivantes : « quels sont les déterminants des performances économique et sociale des strat
