Les agences de notation n'ont pu anticiper la faillite de plusieurs entreprises. Des recherches se sont intéressées à la qualité des notations et à leurs impacts sur les cours boursiers et les spreads de taux. Elles se sont focalisées, davantage, sur l’utilisation des notations par les investisseurs et dans les réglementations bancaires. Cette thèse s’inscrit dans le prolongement de ces travaux. Néanmoins, elle s’intéresse, particulièrement, aux conséquences des surévaluations sur les émetteurs. La principale contribution théorique attendue de ce travail est de fournir un éclairage sur ces notations, leur exactitude, et leur contribution dans la création de valeur de l’entreprise émettrice. Nous étudierons si la notation d’une entreprise peut être considérée comme un facteur explicatif de son recours excessif au marché de la dette, et nous analyserons les répercussions sur sa situation financière. / Rating agencies could not anticipate the collapse of several companies. Researches have focused on ratings impacts on stock prices and yield spreads. They investigated, more on the use of ratings by investors and banking regulators. This thesis is an extension of this work. Nevertheless, it investigates, particularly, the impacts of rating overvaluation on issuers. The main expected theoretical contribution of this work is to analyze ratings accuracy, and rating contribution to the value creation for the issuing company. We will study whether the rating of a company can be considered as a factor behind its excessive reliance on debt market, and we will analyze the impact on its financial situation.

The modern American city is organized into a multitude of spaces based upon function and use. These organized spaces dictate a prescribed behavior and social awareness resulting in a landscape of ill-fitting and awkward territories existing in opposition to one another. An unintended byproduct of these collisions is the counter-space. Akin to slag, sludge and waste resulting from modern industrial processes, the counter-space is the left-over and neglected space of the city resulting from the ever increasing hegemony of society. Hidden within plain site, abandoned and unused, these spaces exist everywhere. This thesis seeks to understand and reveal these counter-spaces and their subsequent populations within the city of Atlanta in order to bring an awareness to the design of the city for all populations. The spatial-temporalities of counter-spaces will be understood through a de-territorialization of representation through notation and mapping. Through this act, a “cartography of events” will be created for each counter space using series of notation machines in which temporal stimuli from each counter-space site will be used as inputs for the machines.
