Changes in children’s cognitive development at the Start of School in England 2001–2008.

Since 1997, England has seen massive changes in the Early Years including the introduction of an early childhood curriculum, free pre-school education for three-year-olds and local programmes for disadvantaged communities. Many of these initiatives took time to introduce and become established. Beginning in 2001, and each year thereafter until 2008, the authors collected consistent data from thousands of children when they started school at the age of four on a range of variables, chosen because they are good predictors of later success. These included vocabulary, early reading and early mathematics. Children from the same set of 472 state primary schools in England were assessed each year. This paper contributes to the existing studies of educational trends over time by examining the extent to which children's scores on these measures changed over that period; in general, they were found to have remained stable

Impact de l'intervalle d'échantillonnage sur les tests d'efficience : application au marché français des actions

(FRE) L'efficience des marchés financiers est un des thèmes les plus débattus de la recherche en finance. La formalisation de ce concept est réalisée à travers le modèle de la marche au hasard. De nombreux tests ont été développés pour valider l'hypothèse selon laquelle l'innovation est identiquement et indépendamment distribuée. Les résultats des travaux empiriques sont loin d'être unanimes ; l'acceptation de l'hypothèse de marche au hasard n'est pas systématique et dépend trop des caractéristiques de l'échantillon. Cette constatation nous conduit à étudier l'impact de l'intervalle d'échantillonnage sur les résultats en distinguant deux méthodologies distinctes de tests : les tests fondés sur la détection de la racine unitaire (DICKEY et FULLER 1979, 1981) et les tests fondés sur le ratio de variance (LO et MACKINLAY 1988). La question que nous nous posons est donc la suivante : le rejet ou l'acceptation de l'hypothèse nulle de marche au hasard est-il lié à l'intervalle d'échantillonnage et/ou à la méthodologie de test ? (ENG) Efficiency of financial markets is one of the most studied subject in theoretical finance. Formalization of this idea is realised by the random walk model. Numerous tests have been developped to validate the hypothesis of identically and independantly distributed innovations. But the results of empirical works are not unanimous ; the acceptation of the random walk is not systematic and depend too much on sample features. This constatation leads us to study the impact of the sample frequency on empirical results by distinguishing two different methodologies of tests : the first one is based on unit root (DICKEY et FULLER 1979, 1981) and the other one on variance ratio (LO et MACKINLAY 1988). The question is the following : rejection or acceptation of the null hypothesis of random walk depend on the sample frequency and/or on the methodology of test ?25 pages, tableaux, bibliographi
