supermarket area, online shopping with home delivery (such as proposed by Auchan express) or withdrawal at the store (like Chronodrive), is a technological advance very appreciated by consumers. This is a good example showing that technology can reduce costs and lead to innovation. Such developments can benefit consumers as well as supermarkets providing products or services technologically advantageous. In an other hand, if the store is not receptive to these innovations, it is a major risk to become

excess of that afforded to domestic producers from tariffs. For example, work carried out by the World Bank calculated that nominal tariffs on United States manufacturing imports would average 23 per cent compared with actual rates of 6 per cent if the costs of anti-dumping duties were added to ordinary tariffs (reported in the Financial Times, 25.11.93). Morkre and Kelly (1994) found that over the period 1980-9 the average margin of dumping in the US was 33 per cent. Over the same period, Bourgeois and

particular industry, is the amount of money needed to cover the fixed costs. To overcome the barriers and ensure a successful position on the market, Quantock Airlines will need to ensure their starting budget is vast and use it appropriately. A huge advertising campaign, negotiations with airports and good aircraft deals (Boeing or Airbus) should ensure a partial success in the short run. In order to cut down the fixed costs, the company should borrow aircraft in the short run, and invest in new

growth for the environment and an ecological preoccupation punishing the competitiveness of companies and thus the growth itself. During a second part, we shall speak about new models of endogenous growth, not treating any more environmental issues as costs but as engines of growth of tomorrow. I) Economic growth and environmental protection: two apparently incompatible concepts because of their negative bilateral relation A) The environmental consequences of the current level of production

accidents are unilateral — only injurers (not victims) influence risk — by their choice of care x. Let p(x) be the probability of an accident that causes harm h, where p is declining in x. Assume that the social objective is to minimize total expected costs, x + p(x)h, and let x* denote the optimal x. Under strict liability, injurers pay damages equal to h whenever an accident occurs, and they naturally bear the cost of care x. Thus, they minimize x + p(x)h; accordingly, they choose x*. Under the negligence

Renault’s strategy. French car maker Renault sees its net profit slumps because of a thin margin and high costs. There are more precisely four reasons from which results this decrease on net profit : ❖ A decrease on vehicules sales (4 %) ❖ An increase on raw material costs ❖ Higher oil prices ❖ Exchange rate movements ❖ An increase on manufacturing costs ❖ European pollution norms too costly Renault has charted a four year program called Commitment
