  • Customary land conversion in sub-Saharan African cities

    Open AccessPierre M Picard, Harris SelodARTICLEJournal of Economic Geography2025References: 2

    We propose an urban model to discuss the conversion of customary agricultural land to formal and informal residential land in developing country cities. Because customary land sales are insecure, migrant buyers face a risk of eviction, which affects land markets in non-trivial ways. Tenure risk and asymmetric information likely cause insufficient urban development. Empirical tests of the model for Bamako, Mali, confirm the existence of tenure ins…

  • The Zoom city: Working from home, urban productivity and land use

    Open AccessEfthymia Kyriakopoulou, Pierre M PicardARTICLEJournal of Economic Geography2023Cited by: 1References: 3

    This article investigates the impact of working from home (WFH) on the emergence and structure of monocentric cities. In the long run, WFH raises urban productivity only in sufficiently large cities. Business land rents fall while residential land rents decrease near the business district. Workers have incentives to adopt inefficiently high WFH schemes. In the short run, WFH yields mixed benefits for commuters and firms, which corroborates the lo…

  • Covid-19 crisis management in Luxembourg: Insights from an epidemionomic approach

    Open AccessMichał Burzyński, Joel Machado et al.ARTICLEEconomics & Human Biology2021

    We develop an epidemionomic model that jointly analyzes the health and economic responses to the COVID-19 crisis and to the related containment and public health policy measures implemented in Luxembourg. The model has been used to produce nowcasts and forecasts at various stages of the crisis. We focus here on two key moments in time, namely the deconfinement period following the first lockdown, and the onset of the second wave. In May 2020, we …

  • Geographical stratification of urban green areas in European cities

    Open AccessPierre M Picard, Huyen Trang Tran et al.ARTICLEJournal of Economic Geography2021Cited by: 1

    This article studies the provision of urban green areas in cities where residents have preferences for the size of and access to those areas. At the optimum, the number of urban green spaces is a nonmonotone function of distance to the city center, while the sizes and distances to other urban green areas increase as one moves to the urban fringe. This article empirically investigates those properties for the 300 largest European cities by using t…

  • Can economic instruments regulate noise pollution in locations near airports

    Open AccessPierre M Picard, Thierry Bréchet et al.ARTICLEBrussels Studies2016

    One objective of Brussels Studies is to encourage debate around scholarly articles containing proposals for public action. With this issue, under the heading “double vision”, we are inaugurating a new formula – a dialogue between academics from different disciplines – in this case two economists and a geographer ‐ on the highly controversial issue of noise pollution caused by air traffic at Brussels National. The former propose creating a market …

  • Des instruments économiques pour la régulation des nuisances sonores autour des aéroports

    Open AccessThierry Bréchet, Pierre M Picard et al.ARTICLEBrussels Studies2016

    Un des objectifs de Brussels Studies est de favoriser le débat autour de propositions pour l’action publique issues de travaux scientifiques. Avec ce numéro, sous l’appellation Strabismes, nous inaugurons une nouvelle formule où nous faisons dialoguer des scientifiques de disciplines différentes – en l’occurrence, deux économistes et un géographe – au sujet de la problématique très controversée des nuisances sonores autour de l’aéroport de Bruxel…

    Brussels Studies heeft onder meer als doel het debat aan te zwengelen over voorstellen voor overheidsoptreden die op wetenschappelijke studies steunen. Met dit nummer, Strabismen genaamd, hanteren we voor het eerst een nieuwe formule waarbij wetenschappers uit verschillende disciplines – in dit geval twee economisten en een geograaf – van gedachten wisselen over het zeer omstreden vraagstuk van de geluidshinder in de omgeving van de Brusselse luc…

  • Government Outsourcing: Public Contracting with Private Monopoly

    Open AccessEmmanuelle Auriol, Pierre M PicardARTICLEThe Economic Journal2009Cited by: 5References: 22

    The article studies the impact of the government budget constraint on the regulation of natural monopolies in adverse selection contexts. The government maximises total surplus but incurs some cost of public funds à la Laffont and Tirole (1993). Government outsourcing is proposed as an alternative to regulation in which firms freely enter the market and choose their prices and output levels. However government can contract ex post with the privat…

    Olivier Favereau, Pierre Picard et al.ARTICLESociologie du Travail1996Cited by: 4

    Depuis le milieu des années soixante-dix, l'analyse économique néo-classique s'est progressivement centrée sur le contrat comme forme prototype de régulation des échanges. Cet article présente les notions clés de la théorie économique des contrats en distinguant les types d'acteurs (le principal, l'agent) et les risques (sélection adverse, risque moral) liés aux asymétries d'information. Après avoir éprouvé la puissance explicative de ces notions…

Les propriétés du modèle font apparaître des prix fictifs définissant les valeurs sociales des biens et du travail. On examine également les circonstances dans lesquelles une modification du taux de change s'avère favorable. Enfin l'analyse est complétée par l'étude d'un modèle avec choix …

    Cet article est consacré à l'étude de la dynamique des équilibres temporaires à prix fixés, dans le cadre d'un modèle macroéconomique de croissance. L'étude se situe dans le cadre d'un modèle du type Barro-Grossman, complété par la donnée d'une fonction d'investissement. La dynamique de l'économie est fondée sur l'évolution du salaire réel, des encaisses des ménages et du stock de capital. On caractérise les sentiers de croissance équilibrée ains…
