Dans un contexte français marqué par le développement des barèmes judiciaires, cet article propose une analyse économique de ces derniers, centrée sur les acteurs du litige : juges et justiciables. Après avoir présenté différentes formes que pouvait prendre barème judiciaire, l’article, qui prend appui revue littérature, met en évidence peuvent être envisagés comme outils d’aide à la décision q...

We reconsider the CES production functions, focusing on their additive separability properties and the constraints these impose on dual elasticites of gross substitution and complementarity. In particular, we offer some alternative characterizations of the (standard) homogeneous cases that seem to have gone unnoticed, as far as we know. We also start exploring the cases of the (additively separ...

We study a double auction environment where buyers and sellers have interdependent valuations and multi-unit demand and supply. We propose a new mechanism which satisfies ex post incentive compatibility, individual rationality, feasibility, non-wastefulness, and no budget deficit. Moreover, this mechanism is asymptotically efficient in that the trade outcome in the mechanism converges to the ef...

This note provides an alternative proof of a known result on the existence of collections of orderings generating intersection quasi-orderings. Instead of proving the result from first principles, it is illustrated how it can be obtained by making use of an analogous relationship between partial orders and linear orders.

We consider two-sided matching markets with couples. First, we extend a result by Klaus and Klijn (2005, Theorem 3.3) and show that for any weakly responsive couples market there always exists a “double stable” matching, i.e., a matching that is stable for the couples market and for any associated singles market. Second, we show that for weakly responsive couples markets the associated stable c...

This paper examines the connection between path independence and transitive rationalization of a choice function in a general domain where a choice function may not include all possible non-empty subsets of the universal set. Describing a sequential choice procedure, this paper shows that the requirement of path independence of a choice function is equivalent to Richter's Congruence Axiom and t...

Consider the dual pressures toward a more tightly integrated workstation window system: 1) the need to eeciently handle high bandwidth services such as video, audio, and three-dimensional graphics; and 2) the desire to achieve the under-realized potential for local window system performance in X11. This paper proposes a new window system architecture called D11 that seeks higher performance whi...
