augmentation a été largement due à la libéralisation des échanges et des investissements, ainsi qu’à l’évolution des technologies de l’information et de la communication. On a ainsi pu atteindre un pic historique des flux d’IDE en 2007 (à 1833 milliards de dollars US). Mais un événement a pourtant modifié la donne: le renforcement de la crise financière et économique a engendré un recul global des investissements en 2008, qui s'est encore accentué en 2009.

one of the five deadliest hurricanes, in the history of the USA. More than 1,900 people lost their lives in the actual hurricane and in the subsequent floods, making it the deadliest U.S. hurricane since 1928. The damage was estimated at 81 billion dollars. More than 80% of the city has been devastated. After this disaster, the city became mostly white, because the black population moves to Chicago or Detroit, where they have found help (food, medical help, lodgment…) It’s very interesting, to go

KPMG Planning for the Recovery 02 Planning for the Recovery Introduction The global economic downturn has confronted transfer pricing practitioners with a host of challenges. A recession that began in the United States at the end of 2007 morphed into a severe global contraction following the financial crisis of September 2008.1 The International Monetary Fund (IMF) estimates that global GDP contracted at a 6 ¼ percent annual rate in the fourth quarter of 2008

In this paper, we study 43,132 households that invest through a large discount broker in the United States. Neither investors, nor firms, nor industries are uniformly distributed across the country. A graphic example of the non-uniform distributions can be seen in Figure 1 of Ivkovic and Weisbenner (2005). In the figure, it is clear that firm headquarters

Le conflit s'aggrava à la fin décembre 1998, lorsque le ministère du Commerce américain publia la liste de seize produits originaires de l'Union européenne qu'il menaçait de taxer à 100%, ce qui représentait un volume d'échanges de 520 millions de dollars (Inside Europe, 21 décembre 1998). Les Etats-Unis soutenaient que cette action était autorisée par l'OMC, car l'UE ne s'était pas mise pleinement en conformité avec les règles de l'Organisation, et que l'augmentation des droits de douane serait équivalente

And it will occupy the leading position. [pic] II- Chinese population China gathers one fifth of world population, with approximately 1,4 billion people.

Belgium, France, Luxembourg, Netherlands and the United Kingdom signed it. This treaty was an economic, social and cultural collaboration, and collective self-defence. Its aim was to unite the nations against all other threats. All parties who signed it were engaged to assist the other signers in case of aggression by another state. But they knew that this was not enough to ensure their security, due to the intimidation from the Soviet Union. The United States were an obligatory ally in order to efficiently

ainsi que, en ce début des années 70, l'influence croissante du mouvement écologiste, eurent finalement raison des recherches en ce domaine. Les dépenses du DoD pour la recherche sur les modifications environnementales ont plafonné à 2,8 millions de dollars en 1977, l'année où les Nations Unies adoptèrent la Convention ENMOD. En 1979, les Etats-Unis supprimaient totalement ce poste du budget du département de la défense et ratifiaient la Convention. Ces quelques recherches ont eu, malgré tout, des

One of the consequences of the current crisis is that the government has implemented cuts in the rations of commodities subject to the rationing system.1 An official note by the Ministry of Domestic Trade, posted recently in every grocery store, states that the quotas of beans and peas, each set at 20 ounces per family member per month, have been cut to 10 ounces, while the salt quota—2 kilograms every three months for a 3– to-4–member family—has been reduced to 1 kilogram.
