The wage inflation-unemployment curve at the macroeconomic level

This paper tests the reduced form New Keynesian Wage Phillips Curve in several advanced countries for the 1985-2014 period. Based on this approach, we estimate wage rigidity at the aggregate level. We document that rigidity is heterogenous among our sample of countries: nominal wage rigidities are more important in the United States, while wage indexation is dominant in European Countries. We also present evidence that wage rigidity is not linked to the institutional environment at the macroeconomic level. Finally, we show that there is significant time variation in the estimated coefficients on the implied equation that is usually not taken into account in the theoretical literature

A glass bead semi‑hydroponic system for intact maize root exudate analysis and phenotyping

Background: Although there have been numerous studies describing plant growth systems for root exudate collection, a common limitation is that these systems require disruption of the plant root system to facilitate exudate collection. Here, we present a newly designed semi-hydroponic system that uses glass beads as solid support to simulate soil impedance, which combined with drip irrigation, facilitates growth of healthy maize plants, collection and analysis of root exudates, and phenotyping of the roots with minimal growth disturbance or root damage. Results: This system was used to collect root exudates from seven maize genotypes using water or 1 mM CaCl2, and to measure root phenotype data using standard methods and the Digital imaging of root traits (DIRT) software. LC–MS/MS (Liquid Chromatography—Tandem Mass Spectrometry) and GC–MS (Gas Chromatography—Mass Spectrometry) targeted metabolomics platforms were used to detect and quantify metabolites in the root exudates. Phytohormones, some of which are reported in maize root exudates for the first time, the benzoxazinoid DIMBOA (2,4-Dihydroxy-7-methoxy-1,4-benzoxazin-3-one), amino acids, and sugars were detected and quantified. After validating the methodology using known concentrations of standards for the targeted compounds, we found that the choice of the exudate collection solution affected the exudation and analysis of a subset of analyzed metabolites. No differences between collection in water or CaCl2 were found for phytohormones and sugars. In contrast, the amino acids were more concentrated when water was used as the exudate collection solution. The collection in CaCl2 required a clean-up step before MS analysis which was found to interfere with the detection of a subset of the amino acids. Finally, using the phenotypic measurements and the metabolite data, significant differences between genotypes were found and correlations between metabolites and phenotypic traits were identified. Conclusions: A new plant growth system combining glass beads supported hydroponics with semi-automated drip irrigation of sterile solutions was implemented to grow maize plants and collect root exudates without disturbing or damaging the roots. The validated targeted exudate metabolomics platform combined with root phenotyping provides a powerful tool to link plant root and exudate phenotypes to genotype and study the natural variation of plant populations

Gouvernance foncière au prisme du genre cas du Niger, du Sénégal et de la Bolivie

Pour les les paysans, la terre n'est pas seulement un bien économique. C'est un espace de vie qui revêt de multiples dimensions : environnementale, sociale, culturelle et politique. Aujourd'hui, les conséquences des nouvelles formes de privatisation des terres se déclinent en termes de vulnérabilité, de marginalisation ou d'exclusion des agricultrices. Si l'accès à la terre est nécessaire, il n'est pas suffisant. Il faut pouvoir en garder le contrôle, c'est-à-dire avoir la sécurité de pouvoir la travailler sur le long terme. Or, un peu partout dans le monde, les femmes ont moins de droits, notamment en ce qui concerne l'accès et le contrôle des ressources (Yepez. et al.. 2001 ; Pacheco, 1998 ; Urioste et Pacheco, 1999; Chu. 2011 ; FAO, 2011). Comme l'indique Marcella Villareal dans le chapitre précédent, même si. selon certaines conventions internationales (par exemple celle sur l’élimination de toutes les formes de discrimination à l'égard de la femme, Cedef, 1979), les femmes devraient avoir accès à la terre de la même manière que les hommes ; en réalité, elles jouissent de moindres accès et contrôle des ressources, dont la terre, ce qui a un impact sur leurs conditions et stratégies de vie (Zoomers, 1998 ; Yépez et ai. 2001 ; Chu, 2011 ; Behrman et al, 2012). Même si certains droits, en lien avec l'héritage traditionnel ou religieux, existent, les femmes doivent négocier constamment et fermement leurs droits d'usage, notamment sur les terres

Why Is Case Management Effective? A Realist Evaluation of Case Management for Frail, Community-Dwelling Older People: Lessons Learned from Belgium

Despite many attempts to evaluate the effectiveness of case management for frail older people, systematic reviews including experimental designs show inconsistent results. Starting from the view that case management is a complex intervention occurring in multilayered realities, we conducted a realist evaluation of case management in Belgium, where this type of intervention is new. Realist approaches are particularly well suited to evaluate complex interventions as they seek to investigate iteratively the literature and empirical data to uncover mid-range theories underpinning the intervention under study. As such, realist evaluations are works in progress which provide tools to describe how, why and for whom an intervention is supposed to work. In this paper, we describe two mid-range theories that can explain why case management can help frail older people to remain at home, through the lens of capacity and social support
