Abstract:
<p> National security depends on having skilled professionals leading their organizations through the preparation, mitigation, response and recovery phases of an emergent situation. The Certified Protection Professional (CPP) credential is the current yardstick that attempts to codify and measure the knowledge and competencies required for security leadership. Does the attainment of this industry credential provide adequate proof (or evidence) of proficiency of the required security leadership knowledge and competencies? During an adverse situation, it is too late to learn that the security le

If voters do make these comparisons, it creates "yardstick competition," where governors are competing with each other as they set taxes. Previous research has shown that governors are punished at the ballot box for raising taxes. However, Besley and Case (AER 1995) find that if gover

Cette thèse est articulée autour du concept d'agence politique. Le premier chapitre présente les concepts et la littérature dans un modèle simple. Le deuxième chapitre développe et complète la compréhension du phénomène de dernier mandat. Cet effet apparaît lorsqu'un politicien n'est pas rééligible: les dépenses publiques et des niveaux d'imposition augmentent. Je montre qu'il est rationnel pour un politicien bienveillant de choisir en première période des niveaux de dépenses publiques et d'impôts inférieurs aux niveaux préférés par l'électeur.

Abstract:
Under the terms of the Water Act 1989, the Office of Water Services (Ofwat) was established and given responsibility for the economic regulation of the English and Welsh water industry. One of the concepts underpinning the new regulatory regime was comparative or 'yardstick' competition. Implementation of the regime required the establishment of a methodology for comparative efficiency measurement. The thesis presents econometric results from estimates of a series of ordinary and stochastic frontier cost functions. These are used to compare the efficiency of operators in both the water supply

Abstract:
Cette thèse est consacrée à l'étude de la concurrence par comparaison ("Yardstick Competition") utilisée dans le cadre de la règlementation des monopoles naturels. Celui-ci consiste à évaluer (et éventuellement rémunérer) les performances d'un agent relativement à celles d'autres agents dotés de caractéristiques suffisamment proches. L'idée directrice de ce mécanisme est d'introduire une concurrence "fictive" entre des firmes qui ne peuvent par nature être mises en concurrence directe sur le marché.

Abstract:
La libéralisation des marchés impose aux chemins de fer une révolution économique. Elle remet en cause l'organisation monopolistique au profit du développement de nouveaux marchés. L'analyse des défaillances du marché (notamment évaluation des économies d'échelle) et celle des différentes formes de réglementation justifient le recours à une régulation incitative des marchés ferroviaires. A ce titre, la concurrence par comparaison paraît intéressante : la comparaison des performances d'entreprises semblables permet de réduire les contraintes informationnelles de la régulation classique.

Abstract:
Industrial organization focuses on imperfectly competitive markets to understand the behavior of firms and the resulting welfare effects. This is a broad definition as most markets are imperfectly competitive and industrial organization research can then focus on a wide variety of topics. Imperfect competition may be due to many reason. Perfect competition in fact requires: a large number of firms and consumers, free entry and exit, marketability of all goods and service including risk, symmetric information with zero search cost.

Abstract:
This study proposes two methods, (1) a probabilistic method based on historical oil prices and (2) a method based on Gaussian simulation, to model future prices of oil. With these methods to model future oil prices, we can calculate the ranges of uncertainty in traditional probability indicators based on cash flow analysis, such as net present values, net present value to investment ratio and internal rate of return. We found that conventional methods used to quantify uncertainty which use high, low and base prices produce uncertainty ranges far narrower than those observed historically. Thes
