The theoretical perspective has as main founts: (1) contributions done by Marcel Mauss on the theme of sociability nets, which are built around structures of giving and reciprocity; (2) the contributions done by Bourdieu on the theme of honour among the Kabila; (3) the contributions done by Simmel, with his discussion on sociability forms. In order to understand the social organisation of hammock sellers and theirs wives in the context of hammocks and other sales and other craft-works sales, I used the ethnographic method and did semi-structured interviews. Besides it I made direct observation and participated in informal chats between hammock sellers I chose, in order to have some life stories. Among the main outcomes of my research I bring out the following: (1) the honour of the hammock sellers from Patos-PB is built with reference to the debt logic; (2) the sociability of hammock sellers is determined by the imposed reciprocity of debt, which helps them in building and make strong social links; (3) the hammock sellers honour expresses itself in varied forms according to the different places in which hammock sellers circulate. It varies as well as a function of social roles they play at the community. / Neste trabalho analiso as formas de sociabilidade dos redeiros de Patos-PB, incluindo as vivências com seus cônjuges, a partir da observação e mergulho nos aspectos do cotidiano de suas vidas. A perspectiva teórica adotada tem como principais matrizes:os conceitos de dádiva e reciprocidade na constituição de redes de sociabilidade (MarcelMauss0; a noção de honra (Bourdieu)e forma de sociabilidade (Simmel) (1) a contribuição de Marcel Mauss, com sua discussão relativa às redes de sociabilidade constituídas em torno das estruturas de dádiva e de reciprocidade; (2) a contribuição de Bourdieu, em seus estudos sobre a honra entre os Kabilia; (3) a contribuição de Simmel, com sua discussão a respeito das formas de sociabilidade. Para compreender a organização social dos redeiros-vendedores e das suas mulheres no contexto das vendas das redes, cangas e mantas, bem como as maneiras pelas quais eles constroem e reconstroem as mais diversas formas de sociabilidade e trabalho frente a outros sujeitos sociais nos múltiplos espaços por onde transitam ao efetivarem suas vendas, utilizei a etnografia como metodologia, realizando entrevistas semi-estruturadas, conversas informais, observação participante e sistematizando algumas histórias de vida. Dentre as principais conclusões do trabalho destaco as seguintes: (1) a honra entre os redeiros de Patos-PB é construída a partir da lógica da dívida; (2) a sociabilidade dos redeiros é determinada pela reciprocidade obrigatória da dívida, que favorece a construção e fortalecimento de laços sociais; (3) a honra se expressa de várias formas nos diferentes lugares e papéis sociais ocupados e desempenhados pelos redeiros na relação da dádiva

Ce travail doctoral étudie l’effet « retour » de l’information financière liée aux prix des actions sur les décisions des dirigeants d’entreprise. Plus précisément, j'étudie si et comment les gestionnaires apprennent effectivement les nouvelles informations contenues dans les prix des actions pour guider leurs décisions d'entreprise. Ma thèse de doctorat est composée de trois essais, chacun abordant un aspect différent de ce même sujet. Le premier essai étudie le lien entre l'efficacité informationnelle du marché d'actions et le niveau d’efficacité économique réelle de l'entreprise. Dans le premier essai, je constate que lorsque les prix de l'action agrègent une plus quantité d'informations utile plus grande, les décisions des entreprises prises par les gestionnaires devraient être encore plus optimales efficaces. Le deuxième essai étudie si les gestionnaires cherchent à apprendre les informations utilisées par les vendeurs à découvert. L’étude des prix des actions en présence de vendeurs à découvert est-il utile pour les décisions de l'entreprise ? Dans le deuxième essai, j'ai surmonté les difficultés empiriques en exploitant une caractéristique institutionnelle unique sur le marché des actions de Hong Kong. Je constate que les gestionnaires des entreprises « non-shortable » peuvent tirer profit des informations des vendeurs à découvert sur les conditions économiques sectorielles par l'intermédiaire des prix des actions d'autres entreprises « shortable » dans la même industrie et les utilisent dans leurs décisions d'entreprise. Le troisième essai étudie les effets réels de la négociation d'options à long terme. Dans le troisième essai, je constate que l’introduction d’une catégorie spécifique d'options à long terme stimule la production d'informations privées à long terme et donc entraîne une augmentation de l'informativité des prix sur les fondamentaux à long terme des entreprises. Par conséquent, les dirigeants peuvent extraire davantage d'informations du prix de l’action pour guider leurs décisions d'investissement à long terme. / In my doctoral thesis, I investigate the information feedback from stock prices to managers’ decisions. More specifically, I study whether and how managers learn new information from stock prices to guide their corporate decisions. My doctoral thesis includes three essays focusing on this topic. The first essay studies the relationship between stock market informational efficiency and real economy efficiency at firm-level. In the first essay, I find that when stock prices reflect greater amount of information that managers care about, corporate decisions made by managers become more efficient. The second essay studies whether managers seek to learn short sellers’ information from stock prices and use it in corporate decisions. In the second essay, I overcome the empirical difficulties by exploiting a unique institutional feature in Hong Kong stock market that only stocks included in an official list are allowed for short sales. I find that that non-shortable firms’ managers can learn short sellers’ information on external conditions from shortable peers’ stock prices and use it in their corporate decisions. The third essay studies the real effects of long-term option trading. I find that long-term option trading stimulates the production of long-term information, which managers can use to guide their long-term investment decisions.

Le produit de luxe n’est pas un bien comme les autres. Ses qualités matérielles et immatérielles lui confèrent une valeur particulière qui oblige son producteur à le vendre dans un environnement commercial adapté. La règle de droit peut-elle considérer cette particularité économique ? Paradoxalement, la France est leader mondiale du marché des produits de luxe, mais nul n’est en mesure d’affirmer avec précision ce qu’est le luxe. Intégrer une notion aussi insaisissable au sein d’un raisonnement juridique semble difficile. Pourtant, les atteintes subies par les titulaires des droits du produit de luxe ont convaincu le juge européen de mettre en place des règles protectrices spéciales. Le but poursuivi est légitime. Il s’agit de protéger les investissements réalisés pour vendre et promouvoir le produit de luxe. Mais cette démarche légale s’appuie sur une méthode de qualification qui n’est pas satisfaisante. L’«aura», le «prestige» ou la «sensation» de luxe qui émanent du produit marqué, sont des critères trop subjectifs pour assurer l’application systématique et cohérente de règles protectrices. C’est pourquoi, outre la démonstration d’un corpus de règles applicables au produit de luxe, il convient d’analyser les fondements de sa reconnaissance par le droit positif, ainsi que l’instauration d’un régime unifié reposant sur des critères de définition précis, prenant en considération les qualités intrinsèques de ce bien particulier. / The luxury product is not a product like any other. Its material and immaterial qualities confer a special value that requires its producer to sell it in a proper business environment. The rule of law can it consider this economic feature ? Paradoxically, France is world's leading luxury goods market, but no one is able to state precisely what is luxury. The law seems unsuited to integrate a concept as elusive as luxury. Yet, violations suffered by the owners of luxury product rights have convinced the European judge to set up special protective rules. The aim is legitimate. This is to protect the investments made to sell and promote luxury products. But this legal approach is based on a method of qualification which is not satisfactory. The "will", "prestige" or the "feel" of luxury emanating frombranded product, are too subjective criteria to ensure systematic and consistent implementation of protective rules. Therefore, in addition to the demonstration of a body of rules applicable to the luxury product, it should analyze the foundations of its recognition by positive law and the establishment of a unified system based on criteria precise definition, taking into account the intrinsic qualities of that particular property.
