The vacuum system increases maple sap yield without extending the sugar season
The vacuum system is largely used in the maple industry to enhance sap yield without compromising its quality. Understanding how vacuum influences the timings and dynamics of exudation compared with the traditional gravity system is crucial for maximizing yield and optimizing the productive process. This study tests two diverging hypotheses, i.e., the vacuum (i) extends the productive time window, and (ii) enhances the rate of sap extraction. We …
A Structural Macroeconomic Analysis of Financial Bubbles
This paper focuses on the structural macroeconomic factors that lead to an extraordinary increase in liquidity feeding financial bubbles at the national and international levels. Contrary to firmly held beliefs, these bubbles do not simply originate from agents’ behaviour, particularly speculation, but result from a disorderly functioning of current monetary systems at both the national and international levels. As a matter of fact, the domestic …
The divergent advancements of sap phenology in maple under warming conditions can shorten the sugar season
Climate change raises concerns for the maple syrup industry, mainly regarding the expected changes in the timings of the sugar season and the resulting uncertainty of sap yield. This study investigates the temporal relationships between the environmental factors and sap phenology (i.e., timings of the onset and ending of sap season) in sugar maple ( Acer saccharum Marsh.) during 2018-2022 at the northern limit of the species in Quebec, Canada, an…
Decoding the seasonal clock of sugar maple: Timings and sequence of its phenological events
The sequence of different phenological events across the annual cycle of maple was studied • Onset of tension driven water transport resulted in the end of sugar season • Leaf expansion and radial growth followed two weeks and four weeks after the onset of tension driven water transport, respectively • Radial growth ended in late summer, while leaves were still in trees • Ending of xylem water movement caused leaf fall in maples The seasonal sequ…
Not just carbon: Biodiversity credits for restoration of the marine animal forests
The ecosystems known as Marine Animal Forests (MAFs), predominantly inhabited by sessile invertebrates, represent critical biodiversity hotspots under imminent threats from human activities and climate change. This perspective evaluates the concept of biodiversity for MAFs restoration by incentivizing MAF restoration projects, and harnessing the advantages of biodiversity credits under the notion of ‘biodiversity-carbon credits’ for the MAFs, fur…

Sellers’ Inflation’ and Monetary Policy Interventions: A Critical Analysis
This paper analyses the phenomenon of ‘sellers’ inflation’, that is to say, the increases in consumer prices as a result of firms’ decision to increase their selling prices as much as possible in the aftermath of the war in Ukraine. This analysis focuses also on central banks’ responses to such inflationary pressures, which monetary authorities have been trying to limit with several increases in their policy rates of interest. The paper explains …

Bernard Schmitt and the Dijon–Fribourg School of Monetary Circuit Analysis
This paper presents the origin and the history of the so-called Dijon–Fribourg School that Bernard Schmitt created in regard of monetary circuit analysis. The first section provides a short biographical note about Schmitt and his academic research work in this regard, to point out his logical, rather than mathematical, approach to macroeconomics. The second section lists Schmitt's followers, who are mainly based in Europe and have been studying n…
The Euro-Area Crisis and the Monetary Policy Response of the ECB: A Critical Investigation and Some Reform Proposals
This paper investigates the monetary–structural origins of the euro-area crisis and offers a critical analysis of the monetary policy decisions of the European Central Bank in this regard. The first section explains that the euro-area crisis is the unavoidable result of the monetary architecture of the European Monetary Union, where the TARGET2 payment system lacks an international settlement institution to make sure that every cross-border trans…
The Political Benefits of ‘Unconventional’ Monetary Policies in Times of Crisis
Since the global financial crisis burst in 2008, central bankers have been at centre stage in addressing its negative consequences across the economic systems of many countries. This has been further noticed in the aftermath of the pandemic crisis that erupted at the beginning of 2020 at global level, when a number of governments did intervene also in a rather ‘unconventional’ way to support economic activity through public spending. In both circ…
The Euro Must Be Abandoned to Achieve European Monetary Integration
This article explains why the euro has to be abandoned in order to integrate the euro-area member countries monetarily. It first recalls the negative consequences of the adoption of a single European currency by a number of countries whose economies are still too different on structural grounds to support the financial constraints elicited by the fiscal and monetary policy straightjacket. It thus points out the lack of fiscal transfers between th…
Financialisation and monetary union in Europe: The monetary-structural causes of the euro-area crisis
The merging of national currencies into a single-currency area is an important factor of financialisation in Europe, as it has disposed of monetary barriers within Euroland, thereby allowing free mobility of financial capital in the form of bank deposits across the whole European Monetary Union (EMU). This monetary–structural change has increased economic divergence and financial instability within the euro area, rather than being a factor of sta…
Can It Happen Again: Structural Policies to Avert Further Systemic Crises
I elaborate on the structural causes of the global systemic crisis of 2007-9 to show that its ultimate origins lie in the still defective bookkeeping structure of national and international payment systems. As monetary circuit theory shows, banks are special, insofar as they can grant loans without the need to dispose of preexistent bank deposits. When the loans-generate-deposits causal chain occurs on the factor market, for firms to pay the wage…
Has "It" Happened Again
The ongoing global financial crisis, which originated in the United States, quickly spread to a number of countries around the world. Since it began to unravel in the summer of 2007, it has spread with an intensity rarely seen and claimed a great number of victims. The rise of a finance-dominated capitalist system implies profound changes in the way domestic economies operate. In particular, financialization contributed to the decoupling of finan…
Central Banking and Post-Keynesian Economics
The Post-Keynesian theory of endogenous money has given much attention to the role of the central bank in the money creation process. Circuit theory has neglected this role, in so far as it has focused on the relationship between banks and firms within a monetary production economy. The aim of this paper is therefore twofold. First, it intends to fill this gap in circuit theory, by providing a role for the central bank in settlement of interbank …
