La thèse propose une lecture de l’insertion qui s’inscrit dans le rapport entre vivre en commun et travail tel qu’il s’est historiquement construit et développé. Il s’agit d’un travail conduit dans le cadre d’une convention CIFRE avec une structure d’insertion par l’activité économique, l’association Acta Vista. L’hypothèse majeure consiste à considérer le secteur professionnel de l’insertion par l’activité économique comme un dispositif, c’est-à-dire un réseau d’éléments hétérogènes (normes, lois, comportements…) dans lequel s’entremêlent des stratégies de savoir et pouvoir. Ce secteur professionnel peut fonctionner en tant qu’hétérotopie et béquille du système social et économique dans lequel il opère. En tant que dispositif, il est aussi un espace dans lequel convergent des hommes, des femmes, des idées diverses ; un espace où se créée innovation et se tracent des lignes de fuites. Elles bousculent la structure du dispositif et révèlent une autre manière de penser et vivre l’insertion par l’activité économique et, globalement, le rapport entre vivre en commun et travail. Dans la thèse, le thème de l’insertion par l’activité économique se trouve à la jonction entre deux axes de travail qui apparaissent respectivement dans la première et la deuxième partie. L’un plus centré autour d’interrogations anthropologiques et historico-politiques concernant le rôle du travail dans le vivre en commun ; l’autre plus tourné vers une épistémologie de l’activité d’insérer, avec ses ambiguïtés, contradictions et possibilités. / The thesis undertakes a reading of « insertion » and also of the relationship that exists between 'living in the community' and 'working', and how this relationship has been constructed and developed from an historical perspective. More precisely, this work consists of a research project conducted within the terms of the CIFRE agreement made with the Acta Vista Association, which is a “work integration social enterprise”.The main hypothesis of the thesis considers the professional employment sector as a 'mechanism', that is a network of heterogenerous elements (norms, laws, behaviours...) in which power and knowledge strategies are intertwined.The employment sector can function as a 'heterotopia' and 'crutch' of the social system and economy in which it operates. Understood as a mechanism, is also a place where men, women and different ideas converge, where 'innovation' is created and which escape routes are traced. These shake off the structure of the mechanism and reveal another way to think and live the employment process, and, overall, the relationship between living in a community and working.In the body of the thesis, the theme of “insertion by economic activity” is considered as the meeting point of two axes of working which come together in the first and second parts. The first, which concentrates more on the anthropological and historical-political issues relating to the role of working in “living together”. The second, which is more focused on the epistemology of activity which highlights its ambiguities and contradictions and possibilities.

The present study aims to deliberate over a wider perspective on the topic of physical currency, assuming the global conversion to digital payment instruments affecting stakeholders at different scales alters number of aspects. The theoretical section discusses the process of transition to cashless society by identifying transformation stages and the barriers faced to undertake the shift. Subsequently, the links between factors as business environment, globalization, and shadow economy in relation to physical currency in circulation are examined by static and dynamic panel data analyses applying annual panel data for 70 countries for the period from 2013 to 2017. The conclusive inference is formulated based on outputs from the Blundell-Bond (1998) system GMM estimator. The empirical results provide significant evidence on negative relationship between business environment and physical currency in circulation and contrary positive link for shadow economy. Further, the greater impact of business environment on physical money among variables included, implies the promotion of electronic money solutions solely to be not sufficient to transit to cashless economy. We also construct transformation score ranking for the last five years to snap the transit stage among countries included in the study with...

A partir des associations féminines de microcrédit, des femmes sénégalaises mettent en place des stratégies de solidarité et investissent le secteur de la microfinance à l’aide de systèmes formels et informels d’épargne et de crédit pour assurer la survie de la famille ou l’acquisition de biens matériels et/ou d’argent, gage de succès économique et source de prestige au Sénégal. Ces pratiques de solidarité et de réseautage socio-économiques sont construites et entretenues à partir des acteurs dominants du milieu associatif (dirigeants et fondateurs) avec l’aide des partenaires financiers et techniques. L’Etat et les ONG de développement considérés comme les partenaires de ces associations sont les premiers à leur fournir un apport financier et technique. Ce partenariat s’inscrit dans une logique de lutte contre la pauvreté mais aussi instrumentale dans laquelle les femmes sont considérées comme une ressource, et comme sujette à un « investissement rentable ». Dans cette thèse, on semble se demander si les pratiques associées à la lutte contre la pauvreté en général et le microcrédit en particulier ne profitent pas plus aux partenaires qui en font la promotion qu’aux femmes elles-mêmes. A partir d’une étude de cas, cette thèse tente de comprendre la pratique du microcrédit dans les associations féminines de microcrédit sénégalaises, les dynamiques de collaboration et de pouvoir, entre les différents acteurs, qui se mettent en place, et enfin les objectifs poursuivis par les uns (Etat et ONG de développement) et les autres (les associations de femmes). / Women's microcredit associations allow Senegalese women to support each other while investing in the microfinance sector. Formal and informal savings and credit systems ensure the families survival and the purchase of goods. These, as well as the flow of cash, are proofs of economic success and a source of prestige in Senegal. Solidarity strategies, along with social and economic networking practices originate from key community leaders (both founders and leaders) with the help of technical and financial partners. The state and associated NGOs provide the biggest part of the financial and technical support. The partnerhip fits into a general fight against poverty where women are understood as resources and profitable investments. However one could argue that associated partners often benefit more from the fight against poverty- and the development of microcredit- than Senegalese women themselves. Using a specific case study, the thesis examines the microcredit practices of Senegalese women involved in the associative sector; the power dynamics behind associations of people and, finally, the objectives of each participant (NGOs, state and women’s associations).

The present work aims at discussing the main theoretical aspects related to the occurrence of long memory processes and its respective application in economics and finance. In order to discuss the main theoretical aspects of its occurrence, it is worth starting from the complex systems approach and emergent phenomena, keeping in mind that many of these are computationally irreducible. In other words, the current state of the system depends on all previous states, in such a way that any change in the initial configuration must cause a significant difference in all posterior states. That is, there is a persistence of information over time - this is a concept directly related to long memory processes. Hence, based on complex systems simulations, three factors (possibly there are many others) were related to the rise of long memory processes: agents\' heterogeneity, occurrence of large deviations from the steady states (in conjunction with the motion laws of each system) and spatial complexity (which must influence on information propagation and on the dynamics of agents competition). In relation to the applied knowledge, first it is recognized that the explanatory factors for the rise of long memory processes are common to the structures/characteristics of real markets and it is possible to identify potential stylized facts when filtering the long memory components from time series - a considerable part of information present in time series is a consequence of the autocorrelation structure, which is directly related to the specificities of each market. Given that, in this thesis was developed a new risk contagion technique that does not need any further intervention. This technique is basically given by the calculation of rolling correlations between long memory filtered series of the conditional variances for different economies, such that these filtered series contain the stylized facts (risk peaks), free from possible overreactions caused by market idiosyncrasies. Then, based on the identification of risk contagion episodes related to the 2007/2008 Subprime Crisis in the U.S. and its respective contagion to the Brazilian economy, it was filtered out from the conditional variance of the Brazilian assets (which are an uncertainty measure) aiming at eliminating the contagion episodes and, consequently, it was made a counterfactual projection of what would have happened to the Brazilian economy if the risk contagion episodes had not occurred. Moreover, in conjunction with the evolutionary trend of the Brazilian economy prior to the crisis, it is possible to conclude that 70% of the economic crisis posterior to the 2008 events was caused by macroeconomic policies and only 30% is due to the effects of risk contagion episodes from the U.S. / O presente trabalho tem como objetivo discutir os principais aspectos teóricos ligados à ocorrência dos processos de memória longa e sua respectiva aplicação em economia e finanças. Para discutir os principais aspectos teóricos da sua ocorrência, recorre-se primeiramente à abordagem de sistemas complexos e fenômenos emergentes, tendo em vista que muitos destes são irredutíveis computacionalmente, ou seja, o estado atual do sistema depende de todos os estados anteriores, tal que, qualquer mudança nos instantes iniciais deve causar significativa diferença nos estados posteriores. Em outras palavras, há uma persistência da informação - conceito este intimamente ligado à memória longa. Portanto, com base em simulações de sistemas complexos computacionais, três fatores (podendo haver outros mais) foram relacionados ao surgimento de processos de memória longa: heterogeneidade dos agentes, ocorrência de grandes desvios do equilíbrio do sistema (em consonância com as respectivas leis do movimento de cada sistema estudado) e a complexidade espacial (que deve influenciar na propagação da informação e na dinâmica competitiva dos agentes). Em relação à aplicação do conhecimento, primeiro é reconhecido que os fatores explicativos para o surgimento de processos de memória longa são inerentes a estruturas/características de mercados reais e que é possível identificar potenciais fatos estilizados, ao filtrar as componentes de memória longa de séries temporais - grande parte da informação presente nas séries é função da estrutura de autocorrelação que advém das especificidades de cada mercado. Com base nisso, nesta tese foi desenvolvida uma nova técnica de estimação de contágio de risco, que não necessita intervenções adicionais, tendo em vista a identificação prévia de potenciais fatos estilizados em diferentes economias, utilizando as séries filtradas de variância condicional, tal que a partir destas séries filtradas é calculada uma correlação com horizonte móvel de observações entre choques (picos de risco) de curto prazo livres de possíveis reações causadas por idiossincrasias de cada mercado. Posteriormente, com base na identificação dos episódios ligados à Crise do Subprime de 2007/2008 nos Estados Unidos e seu respectivo contágio para a economia brasileira, filtrou-se a variância condicional dos ativos brasileiros (que é uma medida de incerteza), objetivando-se eliminar os eventos de contágio e, consequentemente, foi feita uma projeção contrafactual da evolução da economia, caso os episódios da crise não tivessem ocorrido. Com base nestes dados e com uma análise da tendência evolutiva da economia brasileira no período anterior à crise, constatou-se que 70% da crise econômica vivenciada no Brasil no período pós-2008 é decorrente de falhas na condução da política macroeconômica e somente 30% decorre dos efeitos do cenário externo na economia.

Les déchets ont été initialement appréhendés selon la summa divisio classique droit public-droit privé, occultant ainsi leur dimension environnementale. L’extension progressive de la notion de déchet au regard des enjeux environnementaux et économiques remet en cause cette distinction traditionnelle au nom d’une nécessaire unité du déchet autour de ses différentes composantes intrinsèques. L’ambivalence de la nature du déchet impose de dépasser la division du droit.Le respect de l’intégrité du déchet, de sa conformité à lui-même, rend alors nécessaire la cohabitation du droit de l’environnement avec les autres branches du droit existantes dans le cadre d’une coproduction qui s’impose des contraintes mutuelles. L’objectif de notre étude consiste à définir les modalités de collaboration entre les différentes disciplines juridiques, fondées, d’une part, sur l’intégration de la gestion des déchets dans les règles du marché, assurant la rencontre des considérations environnementales et économiques, et fondées, d’autre part, sur l’application du droit de la concurrence à la gestion des déchets lorsque les pratiques intègrent la composante environnementale. C’est dans la définition des conditions d’interaction entre les impératifs environnementaux et économiques que l’unité du déchet peut être consacrée. / Waste was previously apprehended along the classic summa division of public and private law while concealing its environmental dimension. This traditional distinction has been called into question ever since the notion of waste has gradually expanded in view of economic and environmental issues. The unity of the notion of waste around his inherent parts is now necessary. The ambivalent nature of waste dictates us to go further than this division of law. In order to respect waste’s integrity and its true nature, environmental law must work together with other branches of law towards a co-production that implies mutual constraints. Defining the different ways these legal disciplines collaborate constitutes the study’s objective. These are founded on one hand, on waste management’s integration into market laws, ensuring the meeting of environmental and economical considerations and on the other hand, on the application of competition law to waste management when practices integrate an environmental aspect. Only once the interactions between environmental and economical imperatives are defined can waste’s unity be recognised.

With the enactment of Law 13.303/2016, the subject has gained yet more relevance. Changes to the concept of public service entailed a deterioration of the abovementioned dichotomy, since the legal institute of authorization allows material activities to be rendered by the state under a private law regime. Being also possible the competition among different concessionaries. Moreover, stated-owned entities may perform other activities not encompassed by the dichotomy, such as internal supply of goods and services, fostering and construction of public works. Hence, it becomes necessary to revisit this topic, bringing new elements to precisely define the legal regime applicable to stateowned entities / O trabalho examina a consagrada dicotomia serviço público vs. atividade econômica, desenvolvida historicamente pela doutrina como critério para definir o regime jurídico das empresas estatais. Com a edição da Lei n.º 13.303/2016, o tema ganhou ainda mais importância. A alteração no conceito de serviço público ensejou desgaste da dicotomia, pois a figura da autorização permite o desempenho de prestações materiais pelo Estado sob regime de direito privado, com concorrência entre os prestadores, sendo possível, também, a concorrência entre diferentes concessionários. Ademais, as estatais podem desempenhar outras atividades que não se enquadram na dicotomia como o fornecimento interno de bens e serviços, fomento e construção de obras públicas. É necessária, pois, uma releitura do tema, agregando-se outros elementos para a correta aferição do regime jurídico das empresas estatais

Para isso, s??o apresentados tr??s artigos. No primeiro artigo, Acessibilidade e desigualdade regional no Brasil: uma proposta metodol??gica, prop??e-se um indicador de acessibilidade que ?? uma medida de mercado potencial, mas que considera as diferen??as de infra-estrutura existentes no Brasil. O segundo, Aglomera????es: quais seus fatores explicativos?, atrav??s de uma metodologia de an??lise de vari??ncia, procura responder quais os fatores explicativos das aglomera????es. Os resultados mostram que os principais fatores s??o os aglomerativos, corroborando com os argumentos da Nova Geografia Econ??mica.

We observe that second order causes directly or indirectly are the main determinants of agglomeration. We also collect evidence that transportation cost are at intermediate levels in these regions. c) In the third paper, we investigate if access to markets determines the (transitional) growth rate of per capita income. It does, but in a differentiated manner accordingly mainly to the macro-region from which the micro-region belongs. / Economia e Finan??as

Choques podem advir de variáveis exógenas ao sistema nacional ou dos próprios setores (spillovers). As respostas a esses choques podem ocorrer de forma heterogênea entre os subsetores, assim como a própria dissipação desses choques. Essa dinâmica depende do grau de interligação entre os setores, bem como a relação desses com o resto do mundo. Para tanto, será usada a metodologia de Vetor Autorregressivo Global (Global Vector Autoregressive - GVAR), com dados trimestrais de 1998 a 2016. Por meio de análises dos coeficientes, de resposta ao impulso e de projeções condicionadas, chega-se a resultados que demostram a dinâmica de interligação entre os subsetores, bem como os impactos que eles têm no crescimento da economia brasileira. Subsetores mais representativos tendem a ter maior impacto, tanto no nível de atividade como no nível de emprego. Contudo, alguns subsetores que não são tão representativos também registraram impactos significativos nessas variáveis. / The objective of this paper is to analyze the behavior of the Brazilian economy sectors, through the level of activity and employment level, observing the interrelationship among them, the propagation of shocks and their impacts on growth. Shocks can arise from variables exogenous to the national system or from the sectors themselves (spillovers). The responses to these shocks can occur in a heterogeneous way among the subsectors, as well as the dissipation itself of these shocks. This dynamic depends on the degree of interconnection between sectors, as well as their relationship with the rest of the world. To do so, the Global Vector Autoregressive (GVAR) methodology will be used, with quarterly data from 1998 to 2016. Through analysis of coefficients, impulse response and conditional projections, we arrive at results that demonstrate the interconnection dynamics between the subsectors, as well as the impacts they have on the growth of the Brazilian economy. Most representative sub-sectors tend to have a greater impact, both in the level of activity and in the level of employment. However, some sub-sectors that are not as representative also have significant impacts on these variables.
