Visibility of contributions in Industrial Organization in international scientific journals.

This empirical study evaluates the relative importance of articles in industrial organization published in major general or specialized scientific journals, either english or french, using the new 1991 J.E.L. classification system. Contributions are examined within two recent periods, 1991-93 and 1994-96, and regrouped according to the nature of the article: theoretical (L100-L390); industrial policy (L400-L590); industry studies (L600-L990). A specialization progress indicator (IPS) may show the evolution of the editorial policy in relation with the treatment of the subject, while a rate of multiple reference (TRM) reveals the specific characteristics of the journals with respect to the type of article being published.Industrial organization; French journals; Sociology of economics; Journals ratings.

Balkanisation of telecommunication networks and regional development : a network economics approach (In French)

The paper focuses on the links between telecommunication networks and local development, emphasizing on the peculiar case of Metropolitan Area Networks (MAN). From tools of network economics, the paper studies the market dynamics of telecommunication networks and the infrastructure diffusion from metropolitan regions to peripheral ones. This market dynamics shows that the infrastructure offering by local communities can contribute to local development only if regulation mechanisms of co-operation between local public institutions are instituted.metropolitan area networks, network economics, competition/co-operation, local communities, local development

Investigation of the unified rain attenuation prediction method with data from tropical climates

The semi-empirical method recently proposed by Silva Mello and Pontes (SMP) for the prediction of rain attenuation in slant paths is investigated in this letter. The SMP method uses the simplified model of equivalent rain cell and the concept of an effective rain rate. However, substantial deviations were observed in SMP predictions when compared to the rain cell diameters derived from experimental data. The measured rain rates and attenuations were obtained from three tropical climates (Australia, and USM and IIUM both in Malaysia). The measured rain attenuation complementary cumulative distributions (CCDs) were also compared to SMP and the Rec. ITU-R P. 618-11. The test results show that the ITU-R model performs much better compared to SMP method in the three tropical climates

La mesure du travail téléphonique

Nous retraçons les débats qu’accueille entre 1911 et 1938 la revue des Annales des Postes Télégraphes et Téléphones sur la question de la mesure du travail des opératrices des centraux téléphoniques. Cette période charnière, entre le règne du télégraphe et l’essor après la Seconde Guerre des technologies numériques, voit les ingénieurs confrontés à un problème inédit, après l’amélioration des lignes qui se poursuit parallèlement : l’optimisation du travail des opératrices. Les propositions présentées dans la revue, émanant de traductions de publications étrangères, de comptes rendus de visites aux États-Unis ou de comptes rendus d’expériences, donnent à voir les valeurs et les évaluations morales qui trament bien souvent l’analyse rationnelle. Le travail est vu, selon les cas, comme un strict coût à réduire, une activité dont le rendement doit être optimisé, ou encore une valeur. La mise en regard des contributions des ingénieurs français et américains met en évidence deux façons d’opérer le passage d’une valeur-travail à une valeur-utilité en matière téléphonique, soit deux cadrages de ce « service », associés aux spécificités du développement téléphonique dans chaque pays.Evaluating Telephone Labor, 1910-1938 This article examines the debates about the evaluation of telephone central operators labor published in the journal  Annales des Postes Télégraphes et Téléphones from 1911 to 1938. During the period between the reign of the telegraph and the post-war era of numeric technologies, engineers were faced with a new problem: given line improvement, how optimize the operators' labor? The published proposals were drawn from foreign publications, accounts of visits to the United States and other experiences. They express the values and moral judgments that often shape rational analysis. Labor was variously considered: simply as a cost to be reduced, or as an activity, the outputs of which should be optimized, or yet again as a value. Contributions from French and American engineers show two separate ways to pass from a work-based to a utility-based standard; in other words, two different ways of framing "service" derived from the specific development of telephone in each countr

Le Parlement et les citoyens

Ce numéro des Cahiers du CEVIPOF interroge les liens entre l’institution parlementaire et les électeurs entre deux élections à travers des contributions de politistes, historiens ou de praticiens. Une première partie met à jour différents types d’attitudes et de comportements des électeurs français vis-à-vis du Parlement. Elle permet de dépasser le constat connu d’une profonde défiance citoyenne pour éclairer différentes types de circulation entre élus et électeurs. La seconde partie questionne la façon des citoyens sont perçus, sollicités voire craints depuis le Parlement. Elle prend la mesure des multiples stratégies de communication des assemblées mais aussi de leur adaptation, parfois réticente, aux mouvements d’opinion, touchant par l’exemple aux règles éthiques, ou aux technologies modernes de l’information. Au final, ces contributions mettent à jour la profonde ambivalence du lien représentatif hors élections
