Quality performance gaps and minimal electricity losses in East Africa
L’effet des prix et des systèmes de tarification sur les quantités de déchets résidentiels
Les instruments tarifaires et non tarifaires sont de plus en plus utilisés pour encourager les ménages à réduire leurs déchets et à accroître le tri et le recyclage. Dans cet article, nous testons l’efficacité de ces instruments en utilisant un panel de données pour l’ensemble des municipalités de la Région wallonne (Belgique). Les municipalités sont responsables de la mise en œuvre de la politique en matière de déchets et décident du niveau des …

Analyse statistique des affaires d’ententes dans l’UE (2004-2014)
À partir d’une base de données originale rassemblant toutes les ententes sanctionnées par la Commission européenne depuis mai 2004, nous présentons des résultats statistiques relatifs au « design » des ententes et aux aspects procéduraux au niveau de la Commission et du Tribunal de l’Union européenne. L’étude souligne l’importance de la clémence et de la récidive, la première étant sollicitée par plus de la moitié des entreprises et donnant lieu …
The Postal Sector as a Vector of Financial Inclusion
Access to finance has become a major policy issue under the term Financial Inclusion. In this paper, we focus on the role of postal operators in financial inclusion policies. In developing countries, postal firms typically manage a dense network of counters with a unique coverage of rural areas where the banking sector is totally absent. We use a formal location model for postal counters and bank agencies to show that in rural areas a post‐bank p…
Gradual Network Expansion and Universal Service Obligations
Universal service obligations are usually not competitively neutral as they modify the way firms compete in the market. In this paper, we consider a continuum of local markets in a dynamic setting with a stochastically growing demand. The incumbent must serve all markets (ubiquity) possibly at a uniform price and an entrant decides on its market coverage before firms compete in prices. Connecting a market involves a sunk cost. We show that the im…
Disturbing the Peace
What does black vernacular expression have to do with either the law or the police powers? Everything, Bryan Wagner's monograph compellingly argues. Through an extended meditation on the correlations between the end of slavery and the rise of the police powers in the United States, which shows the latter's contingency upon the former, Wagner examines the early formation of black vernacular expression and the complications surrounding the document…
The Benefit and Cost of Winner-Picking
This paper examines the agency cost of winner-picking in multidivision firms and uses explicit incentive contracts to analyze the interaction between corporate headquarters' investment and incentive policies. Winner-picking, i.e., the efficient reallocation of scarce resources in an internal capital market, adds an extra layer of noise to the moral-hazard problem of incentivizing division managers to produce the resources that can then be redistr…
Regulation of an Open Access Essential Facility
A vertically integrated firm owns an essential input and operates on the downstream market. There is a potential entrant in the downstream market. Both firms use the same essential input. The regulator's objectives are (i) to ensure financing of the essential input and (ii) to generate competition in the downstream market. The regulatory mechanism grants non‐discriminatory access of the essential facility to the entrant provided it pays a two‐par…
Delegation and Information Revelation
This paper analyzes, in a setup where only the control over actions is contractible, the rationale for delegation. An organization must take two decisions. The payoffs are affected by a random parameter, and only the agent knows its realization. If the principal delegates the control over the first decision to the agent, his choice may indicate the information that he possesses. If the principal retains control over the second decision, discoveri…

Regulation under Financial Constraints
This article studies a simple procurement problem (Laffont and Tirole,1993) where the regulator faces a cash‐in‐advance constraint. The introduction of such a constraint not only reduces the amount of public good provided but also limits the instruments available to the regulator. The wealth constraint could change the optimal regulatory contract from a two‐part tariff, where the quantities produced depend on the firm’s cost, to a less efficient …
