Doctoral thesis, Universite Libre de Bruxelles, 2012. http://hdl.handle.net/2013/ULB-DIPOT:oai:dipot.ulb.ac.be:2013/209675.
Full textOne important driver of this growth was the emergence of specialized research agencies that standardized measurement of companies’ environment, social, and governance (ESG) performance and sold such information as a tool to evaluate or pressure corporate conducts. More recently, sell-side research, financial news, and market-index providers joined the ESG information market, where they aim to support more mainstream asset managers in integrating ESG information into investment decisions.
A dominant assumption has taken hold in a large part of the investment and regulatory circles: asset managers’ use of ESG information will induce a behavioral change so that they automatically integrate companies’ sustainability to investment return concerns. Understandings of what constitutes sustainable investment have been largely practitioner-driven. The academic community took little interest to challenge the assumption. Remarkably, more scholars have come to assume that conformance to institutional pressures to add ESG information to investment strategies will induce more sustainable and long-term behavior of investors and companies. ESG information integration is believed to be a behavioral enabler for mainstream investors to systematically embed sustainability in investment strategies. Because of the assumption, theory building of asset manager intrinsic motivations to engage in sustainable investment remains unexplored. Main contribution of this research is to generate a deep theoretical understanding of asset manager non-conformance to the ESG pressure to engage in sustainable investment.
The research starts by questioning the dominant assumptions made in the sustainable investment field. While working in the industry, I witnessed some asset managers’ practices of replacing the externally defined ESG information with their own research based on narratives to better understand investee companies. The research question came out of this experience: why do some asset managers use ESG information to engage in sustainable investment while others do not? Do pressures to integrate ESG information really induce more sustainable behaviors on the part of asset managers? These self-inquiries led to a wide array of literature review to search for conformance and non-conformance drivers. Surprisingly, non-conformance was an under-researched theme. Given the scarcity of the research, I sought a method that would enable grounded theorizing based on asset managers’ own experience and interpretations.
Grounded theory research draws on asset manager interviews, archival documents, expert and practitioner consultations and feedback during 2007 and mid-2011. To reflect the global nature of sustainability, I focused on global equity asset managers working in thirteen institutions in three lead markets with most geographically diversified sustainable investment, UK, the Netherlands and Belgium.
Theory building from the ground up does not happen in vacuum. I developed a framework to study conformance and non-conformance drivers to facilitate the concept elicitation. The question of conformance and non-conformance has been studied by institutional, resource-based view of the firm, behavioral finance, cognitive and sensemaking theorists but in a disintegrated manner. I enhanced insights by way of aggregating and exploring the drivers. The framework illuminates the viability of both conformers and non-conformers in sustainable investment practices. Both are leadership activities of asset managers based respectively on explicit and implicit motivations. It illustrates short-term and opportunistic motivations of conforming managers, as opposed to long-term and substantial motivations of non-conforming managers to integrate sustainability and return-making in their investment decisions.
The research results presented hereafter provide a significant theoretical and empirical contribution. Drawing from insights and perspectives from the practitioners, a grounded theory model of asset manager conformance and non-conformance highlights a pivotal concept of sensemaking capacities. It reveals a counter intuitive pattern of asset manager learning. Non-conforming asset managers have developed a distinctive capacity to integrate sustainability and investment return concerns regardless of public pressures to do so. This distinctive sensemaking capacity, founded on behavioral integration of external expectations with own motivation, goal, competence and know-how, was the strategic resource for the organization. Their behavioral integration of sustainability and return generation is so highly developed, that adding the ESG information in their investment strategy would actually impair their capacity to make sense of sustainability. Indeed, I find that non-conforming asset manager teams have sustained consistent returns and increased client assets throughout the financial crisis. In absence of such behavioral integration and sensemaking capacities, conforming managers failed to sustain consistency or suffered from under-funding. To stay competitive, the latter managers have fervently demonstrated the ESG information use in their investment strategies. However, such explicit demonstration of leadership has not been accompanied by distinctive sensemaking capacities. I find that conforming managers were less capable of integrating sustainability and return-generation, which subsequently reinforced their short-termism and opportunism.
The finding of this thesis points to the importance of ‘behavioral integration’ instead of ‘explicit conformance’ of asset managers. The academic community may need to shed a more critical eye on ESG integration by asset managers. Institutional pressures to adopt such information may not induce more sustainable behavior, as ESG know-how is likely to deprive a chance to develop distinctive sensemaking capacities. Furthermore, it may even hurt the sensemaking capacities of managers who have behaviorally integrated sustainability and return-generation. While I hope to trigger a re-think amongst academics how to promote sustainable investment, my findings has theoretical and empirical contributions. The most important theoretical contribution is identification of non-conformance variables to engage intrinsically in sustainable investment. Empirical evidence on non-conformers, corroborated with resource-based view of the firm, also enhances the understanding of non-conformers’ motivation to sustain competitive advantage.
Findings also lead to managerial and policy implications. I carried out this research in the midst of the financial crisis, a time of mounting European policy debates how to build investor capacity to induce long-term and sustainable behaviors. The European Commission’s Internal Market Directorate-General is set to publish a directive proposal that mandate ESG information disclosure to companies and ESG reporting by investors. This adds weight to already published procedural measures to strengthen corporate governance at financial institutions. These policy initiatives emerged largely because of expert consultation and anecdotal evidences. In addition to recommendations to specific pieces of legislative proposals, this research makes an overarching policy proposal. The EU Commission needs to reexamine if the current policy measures lead to further symbolic demonstrations of ESG usage without accompanying sustainable behavior at the cost of real economy. EU equally needs to pay more attention to non-conforming asset managers’ distinctive capacities and enabling mechanisms. Reporting burdens may inadvertently impair non-conforming managers’ capacities to sustain long-term performance and may induce a contradictory policy consequence of increased public distrust.

Full textThe objective of this paper is to explain differences in the economic performance of selected advanced capitalist countries between 1960 and 1980, such as rates of unemployment, level of inflation rates and economic growth rates, with the presence or absence of corporatist arrangements between major interest groups and the State, and with the strength of leftist parties in these nations.
In reviewing the literature, I have found basically two approaches to corporatism: ( 1) a 'structural' approach, which emphasizes sociological characteristics of the actors, especially labor unions; and (2) a 'functional' approach, which stresses elements of policy formation and implementation. Using factor analysis, I will create a corporatism score for each country.
According to Olson's 'Logic of Collective Action', nations with corporatist arrangements (large and centrally organized interest groups) should do better economically (in terms of growth rates) than nations without these arrangements. However, this application has been criticized, since economic growth would be a relatively automatic function of size and degree of organization of interest groups in a given nation, and would not leave any room for strategic considerations, which can be influenced by political parties.
Therefore, I will perform a LISREL analysis for two competing models: (1) an 'additive' model, where I compare the independent effects of corporatist arrangements and leftist parties on strike activity, unemployment rates, inflation rates, and GDP growth rates; and (2) a 'multiplicative' or conditional model, where the effects of corporatism on economic performance depend on the strength of left parties, and vice versa.
My findings do not strongly support the 'additive' model, whose policy implications for countries that wish to be more successful economically in terms of growth of GDP would be to pursue more corporatist strategies. With the notable exception of economic growth rates, on which the combined effects of corporatism and left parties have a strong, negative effect, the 'multiplicative' model is far more successful in explaining differences in economic performance among nations: I have found strong negative. indirect effects of this combined index on unemployment and inflation rates. An implication is that those countries with strong left parties and already existing corporatist arrangements could pursue strategies to extend corporatist arrangements with the hope of gain, while countries without strong left parties and corporatist arrangements might abstain from a policy of becoming more corporatist, since absence of strong labor-based parties might impede rather than promote economic growth. They might even try to reduce their extent of corporatism.

Full textFinancialization manifests itself as the development of an accumulation regime centered on the reproduction of finance capital. Our contribution to the understanding of this phenomenon consists in a critical study of the concept of finance capital. This concept has been incorporated into a larger theory of capitalist finance through a study of social foundations of the financial regulation. We have thus been able to isolate three typical financial relations, which are so many sociohistorical modalities of the financial accumulation of capital and of economic regulation : a savings relation, a banking relation of monetary creation answering the needs of enterprise and finally a financial market investment relation. These relationships are then combined into "idealtypical" institutional systems in which one form dominates the others, one thus obtains the basic structure of financial systems typical of modern capitalisms

Full textThis research investigates the sense given to the respect for the ethical rules by the agents in the specific investment banking activities. One of the specificities of this field is the existence of tensions between the imperatives of profit and the constraints inferred by rules. The normative dimension is illustrated by the implementation of a business ethical officer (or compliance officer) function. So, the safety or ethical concerns of the agents in their practice are analyzed towards the role of the compliance officer. The moral sociology is the main approach which allows us to deal with this question, within the analysis of observed situations and interviews. We also take support on the general frame put by the social studies of finance The works of the pragmatical sociology help us to analyze the links between the evolutions of the practices and the rules in a domain of the capitalism particularly subject to the criticism. This research presents at first a stake in historical and institutional perspective of the studied financial activities. Then, the analysis of practical situations reveals that these rules answer, in their contents, an ethical requirement of the agents, and in their formaI shape in safety preoccupations. They are sometimes instrumented in the modalities of competition between professionals. The morality which seize the agents appears rather in the values which they advance as the caution or the search for a good reputation. Finally, the main stake for the agents appears as that of the safety dimension of the activities for which they feel responsible

Full textIn this thesis, we propose to test a new behavioral explanation of the equity premium puzzle. This work is based on the heterogeneous beliefs model of Jouini and Napp (2007) according to which, pessimism of investors at the aggregate level leads to very important risk premiums. In this model, agents’ pessimism refers to an underestimation of the average rate of return of assets: while pessimistic agents require a market price of risk identical to the standard agent one, they overestimate the risk associated with assets and the resulting equity premium is therefore increased. There is no need, in this setting, for all investors to be pessimistic. Pessimism at the aggregate level is sufficient in order to ensure an increase in the equity premium. Even if the average belief is neutral, it’s possible to have pessimism at the aggregate level through a positive correlation between optimism and risk aversion. Based on this conclusion, we identify the conditions under which the excess returns of securities are consistent with agents’ pessimism. Our aim is to investigate if there is a positive correlation between optimism and risk aversion through a survey and laboratory experiments

Full textThis doctoral dissertation refutes the interpretation that wage-earners’ savings can be seen as a regulation mechanism in finance-led capitalism. From a historical perspective, wage-earners’ savings stems from a liberal vision of the economy. It is an instrument meant to flexibilize labor and a mechanism of forced savings. It weakens the as you go retirement systems and increases the role of capitalisation based retirement systems. This evolution results from a change in the power relationship between labor and capital in favor of the latter. Investment funds managed by workers and labor unions cannot emancipate from the domination of finance, and cannot change in a significant way the behavior of firms with respect to social and environmental goals. Employee ownership is an instrument in the hands of managers to increase their control of firms, and does not lead to a more balanced power relationship among firms’ stakeholders

Can we interpret this phenomenon as an opening of the french finance market to the anglo-saxon control taking practise? in the absence of a general theory of the take-over, and given the limitations of theorical currents that present the take-over either as a quest for synergies or a disciplinary mecanism, we have centered our reflexion on the nature of french capitalism through an analysis of the french public and private financial poles. The latter are shown to control and finance the take-over bids within the frame of a community of interests; where interpersonal relations play a premordial part. The twofold stake of the phenomenon of take-over bids being, on the one hand, europe 1993, and the other hand, the recontruction of alliance networks linked with the 1986-1987 privatisations

Many questions could be revealed in this context: How could be established an economic system based on Islamic values in order to achieve the aimed economical goals? If such a system could be realized, how would it work? Could Islam present an economical and social system that can be considered as an alternative to capitalism? Is there any financial system that could be described and presented as an Islamic economy? What is the Islamic approach of economy? Is there really a need for such approach? Does the Islamic economy have its own institutional context? The first part of this thesis is dedicated to study the relation between ethics and economy in general (through the works of well-known economists and philosophers like Sen and Rawls), as well as the relation between Islamic ethics and economy in particular : In the second part, we discussed how to take Islamic ethics in consideration from an economical point of view; this application could be done through the study of Islamic finance

Full textThe notion of the bank as a shareholder as discussed in this thesis refers to a bank financing a corporate entity by acquiring shares therein or by acquiring a corporation’s share capital or a portion thereof. Because the acquisition by a bank of an interest in a corporation in this manner implies an infusion of capital, a bank acquiring shares in a corporation is a means by which the corporation can be financed. This approach therefore represents a particular method by which a corporation can be financed since it requires the bank to assume risk in its capacity as a shareholder and entitles the bank to participate in the corporation’s affairs. Risk taking in this context is poorly controlled and involvement in corporate affairs at times translates into interference in the economy as a whole. Moreover, banks have the dual role of being depositaries of public savings, while being responsible for financing corporations. Banking activity therefore is not only a commercial activity, but an activity of general interest. These interests require that banks acquiring shares in corporate entities be better supervised than they are at present. Thus, the notion of the bank as a shareholder requires one to question means by which corporations are financed and the role of banks in the economy. Upon inquiry, the notion of the bank as shareholder appears compatible with the more traditional role of banks in the economy on the condition, however, that certain conditions be met, including, among others, appropriate prudential regulations

Full textWe approached the financing of the biotech firms (BF) according to two mainstreams of research, the financing constraints (FC) and the capital structures (CS). Our objective was to look for the existence of the FC and a particular CS for high tech firms from an international point of view. To do so, we placed the countries of our sample into models of capitalism. On the one hand, we had the BF of the “neo- or ultra-liberal” countries (LC), and on the other hand, the BF of the “intermediate” countries (IC). Comparison of the models then allowed us to observe “systemic” differences in terms of our objective. Individual factors (the characteristics of the BF) and cyclical factors (taken into account by the stock market crash of spring 2000) were integrated as other determinants of BF's financing conditions. From this triple approach (structural, cyclical and individual) it emerges (according to panel data) that some differences can be observed at the aggregated level between LC and IC, and within LC (between USA alone and USA excluded) which are in the FC or CS. Nevertheless, the data indicate that the public stock issues are very important everywhere in our sample in terms of FC and CS but that the BF's cost of capital is not significant

Full textThe main objective of this research is to highlight the persistence of family capitalism in Switzerland during the 20th century and its resistance to managerial and financial capitalisms that succeeded. For this purpose, we focus on twenty-two big companies of the machine, electrotechnical and metallurgy sector – the main branch of the Swiss industry for the considered period – whose boards of directors and executive managers have been identified for five benchmarks across the century (1910, 1937, 1957, 1980 and 2000). This thesis relates to business history and elites sociology, and uses different methods such as network analysis and prosopography. It is articulated around three main parts. The aim of the first one is to identify the evolution of corporate governance in our twenty-two enterprises, the second part concentrates on interfirms coordination and the objective of the last one is to highlight the profile of the corporate elite leading our firms. Our results show that during the main part of the century, most of the companies were controlled by families and were characterized by non-market mechanisms of coordination such as interlocking directorates ; moreover, the profile of the corporate elite remained very stable. Although some major changes that took place by the end of the century confirmed a transition towards financial capitalism and more competitive interaction among firms and the corporate elite, the persistence of family control in several companies and the maintaining of some former mechanisms of coordination allow us to put this evolution into perspective

They formed two groups : the one of the officers of finances and the one of the farmers. Some of them were tax collectors (the general receivers of finances and the tax farmers), the others were in charge of the royal expenditures and dept (the keepers of the royal revenue, the general treasurers, and the funds payers). The first part is a study of their social origins, their education, their way of life, their fortunes, their economical and cultural weight. The second part presents the evolution of the financial institutions, from 1715 to 1793, the differents ministers of finances policies, and finaly, the inability of the french monarchy to reform the fiscal system. The last part deals with the fall of the financial society in the same time of the Old Regime, their political role in favour of or against the Revolution, and the physical elimination of lots of them during de Terror

Full textThe aim of this thesis is to study the role of money and financial credit in a capitalist economy, since it is a very wage economy, with the aim of verifying their impact in the malfunctioning of this system. Neo-classic theory has been unable to provide a satisfactory answer to this to this question, since it is based on an exchange economy model. Alternatively, in an analysis based on an economy of production, the value of goods and services is seen as determined at the moment of production, as confirmed in the analyses of Smith, Ricardo and Marx. The contribution of these authors, whilst fundamental, has not always been able to clarify the role of money - in fact they do not explain the monetization of all production. Keynes' contribution represents the transition which allows us to progress further. Keynes' work is determinant in our understanding of the workings of a monetary production economy. Not withstanding this, since capitalist economy is based on monetary credit, it is difficult to accept his explanation of the economic crisis. It is through contributions that have given place to an elaboration of a "monetary theory of production" (whose references are represented by classic authors and keynesians) that it has been possible to obtain very important results from an analytical perspective. The ideas proposed by economists such A. Graziani in Italy and represented by the theories of the monetary circuit from the Dijon school in France, are fundamental in an understanding of the workings of a capitalist economy. In the light of these analyses the roles and responsibility of money and financial credit are clearly defined. So it is possible to explain economic crisis as a malfunction (i. E. ): irreversible insufficiency to global demand. Whilst they remain in the field of a monetary theory of production, the contribution of these theories provide diverse interpretations. Further, they offer important indications towards a reform of the banking system itself

In the last part of the work, we try to compare both approaches with the works of some actual spanish economic historians. Our conclusions are that the shortcomings of the litterary descriptions cannot influence the reader's vision of the spanish economic elite and so, whatsoever the course of national economic evolution

Full textPierre Crozat (1665-1740) is a financier famous for his activities as a collector and patron. Protector of Antoine Watteau, friend of Rosalba Carriera, patron of Charles de la Fosse and Pierre II Legros, his Parisian hotel, rue de Richelieu, built by J. -S. Cartaud, was a rendez,-vous place for amateurs, connoisseurs, collectors and artists. The painters of the royal academy, the foreign artists coming to Paris, Bachaumont, Caylus or Mariette met together during the weekly assemblies organized by Pierre Crozat, and studied the great collection of drawings. The artists also came to study and copy the sheets of great masters. They also could see Pierre Crozat's collections of paintings, etchings, sculptures, engraved stones and some 'objets de curiosités". A large library, with many books on art, was also available. Besides, Pierre Crozat, was a lover of Italy, where he went once to negotiate, for the regent, the collection of paintings of the queen of Sweden. After his return to France, he kept some relations with Firenze, Rome (especially with the academic de France directed by Charles Poerson and Nicolas Vleughels), and Venice. In England, the duc of Devonshire became one of Pierre Crozat's correspondents. Among the activities of Pierre Crozat's circle of connoisseurs - to which theorical references were R. De piles and C. Vasari writings - began a project of a "recueil d'estampes" which particularity was to mix a text and illustrations for the first time. But it stayed unfinished. The hotel Crozat was like an academy, and had a very important place for the amateurs connoisseurs and for the artists of the beginning of the XVIIIth century

Full textThe sociological perspective of financial crime not only reveals the inherent shortcomings of basing its legal treatment on a repressive framework and its economic treatment on a cost/benefit ratio, but by favouring a more syncretic approach, also helps clarify the nature of interactions between criminal actors and their socioeconomic environment. This thesis is based on four fundamental hypotheses. Financial crime is the result of individual deviant behaviour. It is the last stage of financial capitalism. It arises from the manipulation of financial information. The struggle against this scourge represents achallenge to civilisation. The demonstration of these hypotheses is based on a dual empirical and practical approach.The empirical approach aims to study the key criminal actors. Fieldwork interviews with magistrates, union members, tax officers, expert accountants, auditors and academics validate both the fundamental hypotheses and long-term difficulties involved in waging an effective battle against this type of intellectual crime. The first part of the thesis takes a socio-normative approach to financial crime with a view to developing a theoretical reflection on the means to be implemented to gauge the extent of damage to the community. Thus, the first area of research builds on an “epistemological approach to financial crime” (Chapter 1). The second studies the implications of the damaged integrity of the trust economy (Chapter 2).The second part of the thesis seeks to gain an insight into agents and actors involved in organising financial criminal activities. Such crime is only conceivable when agents firmly believe that they are entitled to absolute and unjust enrichment (Chapter 3). Taking a legal approach to these actors helps understand how these particular crimes are committed. Arethey isolated economic deviants? By analysing their characteristics and history, the specificity of major financial criminals is highlighted (Chapter 4). This approach identifies the reasons why these criminal agents are not isolated when they collude with criminally-minded groups (Chapter 5). They benefit from the complicity of institutional actors, who indirectly contributeto the emergence of financial crime, (Chapter 6), and give financial crime a dimension which goes far beyond the individual responsibility of the perpetrators. Finally, the third part of the thesis develops concrete proposals to resolve the dilemma inflicted by the criminal economy on a given community. Using both traditional fieldwork techniques and sociological reasoning drawn from various bodies of thought in social sciences, acts of financial crime are analysed, (Chapter 7) revealing the important role played by those leading the fight against this scourge (Chapter 8). Their testimonies lead to anevaluation of proposals for combating financial crime and their conditions of possibility (Chapter 9)

Full textOur study aims at questioning the artistic taste of the financiers of the eighteenth century, through the analysis of their behaviors vis-a-vis the different actors of the world of art. Whether financial collectors, financial amateurs, financial artists, or financial sponsors, these money handlers, sometimes jealous, sometimes adulated for their fortune, evolve in a complex sphere, where rivalry and eccentricity mundane mingle with the codes of decency And the magnificence of the noble society. Severely criticized in the eighteenth century, the financiers of the age of enlightenment were fully rehabilitated in society, perhaps thanks to their conformity with the habits and customs of their contemporaries. Seeking to equal their fellows in appearance, we may question the manner in which the financiers, whether general farmers, receivers of finance, or even treasurers, collect their works. Thus, is there a 'financial' way of collecting
