Sebillotte, une étude prospective sur les filières Vignes et Vins, animée notamment par les auteurs, analystes de la filière depuis deux décennies. Ce travail est l’occasion de partager et approfondir des réflexions méthodologiques de deux ordres : -la prospective est une démarche utile pour dépasser la simple réactivité des acteurs ; elle permet une analyse et une gestion de phénomènes complexes dont la filière vin est le siège : par exemple l’analyse de la gouvernance mondiale. - la prospective en tant que démarche interdisciplinaire soulève la question des représentations partagées d’une la filière conçue comme un système ; en particulier, la capacité de telles représentations d’appréhender une question comp...

Such partition is typically determined by subjective thresholds for a few variables, such as access to transportation and local population size, leaving aside relevant factors despite data availability. We propose to measure 'remoteness' by mapping a comprehensive set of covariates onto a scalar, and define an objective score of remoteness using a standard selection model. We apply the proposed method to data from Taiwanese public elementary schools. Our method replaces 35% and 47% respectively of the current official list of 'remote' and 'extra-remote' campuses, shifting the remoteness designation to those furthest from train stations, having the highest teacher vacancy percentages, and located in the least populous areas with the least well-educated populations. The campus-and district-level variables used are publicly available and periodically updated in most advanced economies, and the statistical model can be easily implemented.

The linkage will be thoroughly investigated with country-level and bank-level data of 42 countries in three separate years: 2011, 2014, and 2017. In this study, an inclusive financial system is assessed by two dimensions: usage of financial services and access to the financial system. Usage of financial services ranges from account to credit, savings and payment services. Access to financial system measures the financial outreach where individuals can use financial services. Meanwhile, financial stability, which proxied by Bank Z-score is regarded as the dependent variable. We apply fixed effects regression and random effects regression to capture the impacts of financial inclusion upon financial stability. To enhance the robustness of the model, the Feasible Generalized Least Squares (FGLS) regression is therefore adopted as the solution for the random effects regression. The empirical findings exhibit an overall weak positive influence of financial inclusion on financial stability. The research results also provide both financial institutions and governments with insightful information, which helps them to have an appropriate financial development strategy, improve the regulatory framework and consequently enhance financial stability for the whole system.

The Board of Directors for the Academy recommended that these guidelines be reviewed and updated to reflect current practices and the additional levels of certification. A committee was formed to draft revised guidelines for review by the Board. The committee included Jan Bernal, DVM,

Simulation of the RPC response is a crucial part of the entire CMS Monte Carlo software and directly influences the final physical results. An algorithm based on the parametrization of RPC efficiency, noise, cluster size and timing for every strip has been developed. Experimental data obtained from cosmic and proton-proton collisions at √ s = 7 TeV have been used for determination of the parameters. A dedicated validation procedure has been developed. A good agreement between the simulated and experimental data has been achieved.
