externalités se concrétise par des « clusters ». L' de « cluster » issue des districts industriels italiens va idée être plus précisément définie par M. Porter (2000) : « a cluster is a geographically proximate group of interconnected companies and associated institutions in a particular field, linked by commonalities and complementarities. The geographic scope of a cluster can range from a single city or state to a country or even a group of neighboring countries ». Le cluster est ainsi considéré

empirical finding seems to suggest that the housing goals of the Community Reinvestment Act and/or Government Sponsored Enterprises—those intended to increase lending in low- and middle-income areas—might have created a negative by-product, that is associated with higher loan delinquencies. The structure of this paper is as follows. In Section 2 we show the descriptive statistics for the subprime mortgages in our database. In Section 3 we discuss the empirical strategy we employ. In Section 4 we present

cette asymétrie inter/intra entreprises. Mots clés : flexibilité – stratégie – systèmes d’informations Abstract : The evolution of the economic environment has forced companies to rationalize their relations with their clients, suppliers and other associated firms. They are rapidly confronted with a lack of adaptation of their organizational structures and information flow with regard to the constraints generated by their interfirms relations. From a study of literature and case studies carried out

cost shares from the optimum shares, failing, in such a context, to derive the relationship between allocative inefficiency and cost increases from such inefficiency (Greene problem). The main problem with the estimation of a cost-shares system is associated with selecting an appropriate way to represent the link between the allocative inefficiency in the error terms of the input demand equations and the allocative inefficiency error appearing in the cost frontier (Coelli et al., 1998).

Firstly, the magnitude is different. There are many more human human races, since the first are to be counted thousands and the second in single units; two cultures developed by men of the same race may differ as much as, or more than, two cultures associated with groups of entirely cultures than of races, different racial origin. Secondly, in contrast to the diversity where interest is confined to their historical origin or their distribution over the face of the world, the diversity many problems;

that eliminating formal deposit insurance by itself does not solve the problem. This paper asks, could financial liberalization itself be part of the problem? Some recent empirical studies suggest it may be: large interest rate increases, which are associated with financial market liberalization, are also systematically related to financial crises (see Demirgüç-Kunt, A. and E. Detragiache, 1997). This paper approaches the question from a theoretical perspective. Financial market liberalization increases

the fact that we can observe the number of acquisitions and divestitures, which represent a change in S ijt, but even here we face the problem that Sijt being a revenue share, Sijt increases with the number of (net) acquisitions and with the sales associated with each transaction, and it decreases with the existing scale of the firm (i.e. one acquisition will imply a bigger change in revenue shares for a smaller firm as it will for a larger firm). In order to tackle the non-linearity of (1), we write:

failure. Botman et al. (2004) investigate the determinants of survival for internet firms that have gone public at the NASDAQ stock exchange from December 1996 through February 2001. Their empirical results provide evidence that surviving firms are associated with lower risk, higher underwriter reputation, higher investor demand, lower valuation uncertainty, higher insider ownership retention, compared to non surviving ones. The literature exploring the other international markets is less developed.
