The primary focus of this dissertation is the doctrine of the Providence of God and it is approached from a distinctive perspective – that of the doctrine of the Trinity.Its fundamental thesis is that the adoption of a trinitarian perspective on Providence provides us with a conceptual paradigm in which varying theological emphases, which often divide understandings of Providence, are best understood in a form of paradoxical tension or creative balance with each being correctly understood only in the context that the other provides. To demonstrate this, it addresses four issues of Providence that have on occasion divided understandings of Providence in the past and which have become significant issues of contention in the contemporary debate on Providence occasioned by a proposal known as Open Theism. These issues concern the nature of divine transcendence, sovereignty, immutability and impassibility and how each should be understood in the context of divine Providence. Through a detailed examination of three recent trinitarian theologies, which have emanated from the three main communities of the Christian church, it argues that a trinitarian perspective is able to provide significant illumination and explication of these identified issues of Providence and of the tensions that are often intrinsic to this doctrine. In relation to these identified issues of Providence, it affirms tensional truths in our understanding of the issues of Providence and an articulation that necessarily incorporates a binary form of language – that is, utilising language of both-and rather than either-or. In other words, it posits that divine transcendence ought to be held in paradoxical tension with divine immanence; divine sovereignty ought to be held in paradoxical tension with human responsibility; and divine immutability and impassibility ought not to be understood as immobility or impassivity but as affirming the paradoxical tension of active constancy. The articulation of these tensional truths is followed and completed by an examination of how they might be applied pastorally in the specific area of prayer and its relationship to Providence. Consequently, this dissertation not only constructively impacts our understanding of divine Providence but also significantly advances the contemporary debate on Providence concerning Open Theism.

Ce travail sort du cadre classique des concepts traditionnels du bien-être comme le revenu, la consommation, ainsi que la richesse. Dans ce travail l'utilisation de plusieurs dimensions de bien-être est mise en évidence: l'emploi du temps, la discrimination, l'égalité des opportunités et la ségrégation dans le marché du travail ainsi que les relations de pouvoir à l'intérieur du ménage affectant les négociations et les prise de décisions. La première partie de la thèse est consacrée au calcul des réponses du consommateur aux changements des prix monétaires de biens. De plus, on complète cette analyse par le calcul de changements d'utilité en ayant déjà introduit une taxe sur l'alimentation. La seconde partie est dédiée à l'étude des interactions dans le marché du travail. En premier lieu, le premier article permet de donner un cadre à l'étude de la discrimination salariale par genre et ethnie incluant différents pays de l'Amérique Latine. En revanche, dans le deuxième article on se focalise sur l'effet du salaire minimum dans la distribution des salaires et sur les taux de travailleurs formels et informels dans l'économie équatorienne. / The works on this thesis go beyond traditional concepts of welfare, such as income, consumption, and wealth, and include into the analysis time use, discrimination, power relations inside the households, equality of opportunities, and segregation in the labor markets. ln Part 1 of this work, we base our measure of welfare on both a monetary and a time dimensions, including domestic production in the Beckarian sense into the analysis. From a given allocation of monetary and time resources, we calculate consumer's reactions to changes in monetary prices of different commodity groups. We complete the analysis with the calculation of utility changes given the introduction of a tax in the aggregated food group. Part Il of this work is devoted to a comprehensive analysis of labour market outcomes. The third chapter of the thesis studies the discrimination suffered by women and ethnic minorities in Bolivia, Ecuador, and Guatemala by means of quantile decomposition techniques. We complete the analysis with the study of the intra-household allocation of time determinants to paid and unpaid work. Finally, the last chapter focuses on the influence of the minimum wage in shaping the workers's wage distribution and its impact on employment rate in the formai and informai sectors of the economy. The high level of noncompliance, and the important share of informai workers cali for new policies and institutions concerned with the enforcement of labor regulations, and the design of social securitv systems and laws that protect informai workers.
