Este trabalho tem como objetivo discutir os pontos de convergência e divergência entre as teorias econômicas de Thorstein Bunde Veblen e John Maynard Keynes. Para cumprir este objetivo, são apresentados, primeiramente, os princípios fundamentais que dão forma à teoria institucionalista de Veblen (a partir de obras selecionadas), tais como os instintos, hábitos e instituições que moldam o comportamento humano. Segundo o autor, a evolução desses elementos é importante para a compreensão da estrutura e do funcionamento do sistema capitalista atual. A seguir, é realizado um estudo do pensamento keynesiano (a partir da publicação de sua Teoria Geral em 1936) a respeito da demanda efetiva, do papel das expectativas de longo prazo na determinação dos níveis de emprego e renda, dos ciclos econômicos, e sua perspectiva sobre o futuro do sistema capitalista. A pesquisa encontrou semelhanças nos pontos de vista dos autores acerca dos componentes da demanda agregada, da determinação dos níveis de emprego e renda em uma economia capitalista, do uso de convenções sociais na tomada de decisão dos agentes e dos ciclos econômicos. Não obstante, a opinião dos autores sobre o futuro do capitalismo é divergente.
This research aims to discuss the convergence and divergence issues between the economic theories of Thorstein Bunde Veblen and John Maynard Keynes. To meet these objectives, it presents firstly, the core principals of Veblen’s theoretical underpinnings (based on his selected pieces), such as: instincts, habits, and institutions that shape human behavior. According to the author, the evolution of these elements is important to the understanding of the structure and the functioning of the current capitalist system. After that, the dissertation examines the Keynesian thought (developed after his General Theory, 1936) about the effective demand, the role of long-term expectations to determining employment levels and income, the economic cycles, and his perspective on the future of the capitalist system. The research found similarities in the views of both authors about the components of aggregate demand, about the determination of employment and income, the use of social conventions in decision-making agents, and the economic cycle. Nevertheless, the opinion of the authors on the future of capitalism is divergent

Cette thèse analyse les rapports que Veblen - sociologue et économiste américain ne en 1857 mort en 1929 établit entre la culture et l'éducation. Deux points essentiels sont abordés par l'auteur. Dans quels cas l'éducation et notamment le système éducatif peut ralentir ou accélérer le changement culturel. Quelles relations la culture scolaire entretient avec la culture globale. Veblen a pris comme champ d'études la société américaine entre la fin de la guerre de sécession et la première guerre mondiale. Cette période correspond pour lui à l'avènement d'une éducation capitaliste et par conséquent d'une culture capitaliste qui remet en cause les progrès accomplis par l'homme depuis le 18eme. On a cherché à montrer que les critiques de Veblen reposaient largement sur une conception puritaine de l'Amérique, qui est emblématique de la classe des fermiers américains en voie de déclin social, classe à laquelle Veblen appartenaitAThis thesis is about the relations which Veblen - American sociologist and economist 1857-1929, sees between culture and education. Two main points are studied by the author in which case education especially the educational system can hinder or accelerate the cultural change. What are the relations between the culture inside the educational system and the main culture of the society? Veblen choose as a field of studies the American society from the civil war to the First World War. This period is considered by him as the rising of a capitalistic education and therefore as the rising of a capitalistic culture which stops the progress of humanity. Our aim was to show that his critics were related to a puritan background common among American farmers at this time, because they were losing their power and wealth Veblen belonged to this social class

Thorstein Veblen, auteur de La théorie du loisir (1899), est commémoré en sciences économiques par «l'effet Veblen», terme introduit par Harvey Leibenstein pour représenter une réponse positive de la demande des consommateurs à une augmentation de prix. L’article de Leibenstein de 1950 qui introduit «l’effet Veblen» ne cite pas Veblen parmi ses 17 références.Je commence cette thèse en revisitant la théorie de Veblen sur le comportement du consommateur et en évaluant son traitement ultérieur dans la littérature économique. Je trouve que Leibenstein (1950) interprète mal le concept de «consommation ostentatoire» de Veblen et contredit les prédictions empiriques de Veblen.Comment la théorie de Veblen pourrait-elle être interprétée plus fidèlement et avec plus de pertinence pour les marchés actuels? Dans cette thèse, j'essaie d'observer certains attributs et certaines primes de Veblen sur les marchés de consommation actuels.Je présente des résultats expérimentaux sur les marchés de la vente au détail américains de bière (partie II), de vin (partie III) et de produits alimentaires (partie IV). J'utilise diverses techniques expérimentales, notamment des enquêtes auprès des consommateurs, des expériences de dégustation à l'aveugle, des expériences de laboratoire et des expériences d'infiltrationThorstein Veblen, author of The Theory of the Leisure Class (1899), is memorialized in economics by the “Veblen effect,” a term introduced by Harvey Leibenstein to represent a positive consumer demand response to an increase in price. However, Leibenstein’s 1950 QJE article introducing the world to the “Veblen effect” does not cite Veblen as one of its 17 references.I begin this dissertation by revisiting Veblen’s theory of consumer behavior and evaluating its subsequent treatment in the economics literature. I find that Leibenstein (1950) misunderstands Veblen’s concept of “conspicuous consumption” and contradicts Veblen’s empirical predictions.How might Veblen’s theory be interpreted more faithfully with relevance to present-day markets? I suggest that the notion of “Veblen goods” and “Veblen consumers” is misleading, because Veblen’s theories applied to nearly all goods and consumers. My alternative approach is to look for attributes and corresponding prices whose market behavior is in line with Veblen’s predictions. I divide the attributes of goods into three classes, and I suggest that each class has its own hedonic price component: “useful,” “decorative,” and “invisible” attributes.Invisible attributes cannot be detected by the consumer’s own unaided sensory apparatus. Examples of invisible attributes are a good’s market price, scarcity, reputation, ratings, place of origin, microbial content, organic certification, and age. I refer to decorative and invisible attributes, together, as “Veblen attributes”; and I refer to the premiums consumers are willing to pay for Veblen attributes as “Veblen premiums.”In this thesis, I attempt to observe some Veblen attributes and Veblen premiums in present-day consumer markets. I report experimental results from the U.S. retail markets for beer (part II), wine (part III), and food (part IV). I employ a variety of experimental techniques, including consumer surveys, blind tasting experiments, lab experiments, and undercover experiments. I include several first-person essays to round out the narrative

Full textAbstract:
According to Veblen (1915), the evolution of institutions is the same as institutional development and this is the development of society. The aim of this paper is answer the question: what is the role of the individual in Veblen's institutional evolution? The general objective is to seek the role occupied by the individual in Veblen's institutional evolution. In order to achieve the general objective, we developed an analytical framework that presents the fundamental characteristics of the Evolutionary Economic Theory. The specific objective is investigate the fundamental characteristics of an Evolutionary Economic Theory and a form of presentation as an analytical framework that is to evaluate a Veblen’s Theory and the role of the individual in it. To understand what the fundamental elements of an Evolutionary Economic Theory are it is necessary to clarify what an evolutionary ontology is. According to Dopfer and Potts (2008, 2004), an ontology serves as a foundation for an Evolutionary Economic Theory and is made up of scientific claims about a fundamental nature of reality. As an alternative to evolutionary ontology, Dopfer and Potts (2008; 2004) propose the Evolutionary Realism. After defining the evolutionary ontology, we starts with the construction of the fundamental characteristics of Evolutionary Economic Theory that are in conformity with Evolutionary Realism. In order to do that we use the works of Witt (2014), Metcalfe (1998), Lawson (2003) and Potts (2003). From the union these four authors combined with an evolutionary ontological orientation, we concluded that four elements fundamental to an Evolutionary Economic Theory are variation, selection, replication and adaptation. These elements are fundamental characteristics of the Evolutionary Economic Theory and connect in the analysis framework through the Witt’s (2014) modalities. To begin this evaluation it is necessary to clarify who the population and the unit of selection are. This structure is a tool for analysis the evolutionary theory of Veblen. This method of evaluating the individual's role applied in a selection of Veblen's writings leads to the conclusion that through his instincts, habits, and institutions, the Veblen’s individual has characteristics of variation, selection, adaptation and replication. In institutional evolution, it has a multiple role, sometimes acting as an agent through its instincts and habits, or else it takes a more passive stance, where it is shaped by the institutional environment. The multiple role of the individual in Veblen can be conceived scientifically and theoretically, when we incorporates in the theoretical structure the explanation of type (iii). This kind of explanation makes it possible to conceive the history of adaptive processes that are also interactive in which selection, adaptation and replication are imperfect, opening the way for the generation of new variation. An evolutionary ontology allows creating scientific theories in these molds.Segundo Veblen (1915), a evolução das instituições é o mesmo que desenvolvimento institucional e isso é o próprio desenvolvimento da sociedade. Este trabalho almeja responder a seguinte questão: qual é o papel do indivíduo na evolução institucional de Veblen? O objetivo geral é buscar o papel que o indivíduo ocupa na evolução institucional de Veblen. Para atingir o objetivo geral foi desenvolvida uma estrutura analítica que apresenta as características fundamentais de Teoria Econômica Evolucionária. Como objetivo específico, investiga-se as características fundamentais de uma Teoria Econômica Evolucionária e uma forma de apresentá-la como uma estrutura analítica que será usada para avaliar a Teoria de Veblen e o papel do indivíduo na mesma. Para se entender quais são os elementos fundamentais de uma Teoria Econômica Evolucionária, primeiramente é necessário esclarecer o que é uma ontologia evolucionária. Conforme Dopfer e Potts (2008; 2004), a ontologia tem a função de servir como alicerce para a Teoria Econômica Evolucionária e é composta por afirmações científicas sobre a natureza fundamental da realidade. Como uma alternativa de ontologia evolucionária Dopfer e Potts (2008; 2004) propõem o Realismo Evolucionário. Após a definição da ontologia evolucionária, parte-se para a construção das características fundamentais da Teoria Econômica Evolucionária que estejam em conformidade com o Realismo Evolucionário. Nesse trabalho serão apresentados quatro autores Witt (2014), Metcalfe (1998), Lawson (2003) e Potts (2003). Da união desses quatro autores somada com a orientação ontológica evolucionária conclui-se que quatro elementos são fundamentais para uma Teoria Econômica Evolucionária: variação, seleção, replicação e adaptação. Esses elementos compõem as características fundamentais da Teoria Econômica Evolucionária à luz das modalidades de Witt (2014). Ressalta-se que para iniciar essa avaliação é preciso esclarecer quem é essa população e qual é a unidade de seleção. Essa estruturação foi usada como uma ferramenta para analisar a teoria evolucionária de Veblen. Esse método de avaliação do papel do indivíduo aplicado à leitura de uma seleção de escritos de Veblen leva à conclusão de que através de seus instintos, hábitos e instituições, o indivíduo de Veblen possui características de variação, seleção, adaptação e replicação. Na evolução institucional ele possui um múltiplo papel, ora atua como agente através de seus instintos e hábitos, ora assume uma postura mais passiva, onde é moldado pelo ambiente institucional. O múltiplo papel do indivíduo em Veblen pode ser concebido cientificamente e teoricamente quando se incorpora na estrutura teórica a explicação do tipo (iii). Esse tipo de explicação torna possível conceber a história de processos adaptativos que são, também, interativos nos quais a seleção, adaptação e replicação são imperfeitas, abrindo caminho para a geração de nova variação. Uma ontologia evolucionária permite criar teorias cientificas nestes moldes.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse montre que l’on peut trouver chez Marx, Veblen et Hawtrey trois théories pré-keynésiennes de l’instabilité financière. Elle dégage, pour chacun d’eux, le cadre théorique qu’il met en place et qui lui permet de poser la question du rôle de la finance dans la dynamique économique. Elle analyse ensuite leurs écrits pour montrer que l’on peut en déduire des théories (incomplètes) de l’instabilité financière, c’est-à-dire que les perturbations économiques sont dues à la manière dont les entreprises se financent. Le chapitre I reconstruit la théorie marxienne des marchés financiers, ce qui permet, dans le chapitre II, de montrer le rôle central joué par la finance dans l’explication du cycle économique chez Marx. Le chapitre III dégage les éléments qui font de la théorie de Veblen une théorie du capitalisme financier, puis, dans le chapitre IV, discute cette dernière pour montrer qu’il s’agit d’une théorie de l’instabilité financière. Le chapitre V propose une représentation du modèle macroéconomique de Hawtrey, à partir de laquelle le chapitre VI dégage les conditions dans lesquelles le crédit est instable dans sa théorie. Le chapitre VII fait le lien entre les théories de ces auteurs et les faits économiques dont la connaissance a nourri leur réflexion : les théories de l’instabilité financière sont à la fois une explication, une représentation et un projet de régulation du capitalisme financierThe thesis demonstrates that three pre-keynesians theories of financial instability can be found in Marx, Veblen and Hawtrey. For each of these three authors, the argument is that the theoretical frame displayed allows him question the role of finance in the economic dynamic. Then, analysis of their main writings shows that theories of financial instability can be infered from them. In chapter I, the marxian theory of financial markets is reconstituted paving the way to the demonstration of the central role played by finance in the explanation of the business cycle in Marx’s theory in Chapter 2. In Chapter III, we show what elements in Veblen’s theory constitutes a theory of finance capitalism. Then, the discussion in Chapter IV shows how it a theory of financial instability. In Chapter V is displayed a representation of of Hawtrey’s macro-model. Chapter VI highlights the conditions under which credit is unstable in his theory. Chapter VII shows the links between the three authors’ theories and the economic facts that nurtured their thinking. It shows that their theories of financial instability are an explanation, a representation et a project of regulation of financial capitalism

Full textAbstract:
Based on Thorstein Veblen's Theory of the Leisure Class, this thesis gives an interpretation of Marcel Proust's A la recherche du temps perdu. Published in 1899, the Theory proposes a sociological analysis of the economical and social American elite, from 1850 to 1900, a time of major capitalistic expansion in the United States. Veblen's concepts of leisure and conspicuous consumption allow us to demonstrate how each character in Proust's novel distinguishes itself in a context of social rivalry. Referring to Pierre Bourdieu's theory, various conspicuous social practices are analyzed according to the social milieu of La Recherche from which they originated. Therefore, Mme Verdurin's upper middle class perception of reality confronts the aristocratic ethic embodied by the duchesse de Guermantes. In the conclusion of the thesis, we acknowledge the predominant sociological aspect of La Recherche, which is however only one of the many underlying elements of Proust's technique of fiction.

L'institutionnalisme cest un courant heterodoxe de l'economie politique americaine qui refuse, pendant l'entre-deux guerres, le postulat d'autonomie de l'ordre economique relativement aux autres dimensions du social. Celui-ci doit etre alors compris au travers du concept d'institution qui designe l'ensemble des schemas mentaux assurant les rigidites previsibles des comportements individuels. Mitchell, veblen et commons sont consideres comme les fondateurs de cette ecole de pensee. Neanmoins, polanyi peut y etre inclus dans la mesure ou son approche enrichit l'institutionnalismre a l'aide de l'economie comoparatiste. Ces auteurs retiennent l'hypothese implicite selon laquelle la dette est une interaction sociale essentielle.

Enfin, ils soulignent l'importance des representations de l'avenir et des rapports de pouvoir pour rendre compte des crisesInstitutionnalism is a conunter movement of american political econoly which rejects, during the period between the world wars, the principle of autonomy of economic order relative to other social dimensions. Thus. Social order is understood with a concept of institution that designates the ensemble of mental qschemas, producing the foreseeable inflexibility of individual behaviors. Mitchell, veblen and commons are usually considered to be the founders of this school of thought. Nevertheless, polanyi is included in this school to the extent that his approach enriches institutionalism through comparative economics. These authors advance the hypothesis that debt is an essential social interaction. The system of debt creation and release (i. E. Monetary practices) therefore becomes a fundamental institution of the economy. Finally. They emphasize the importance the futurity and power relations for explaining crisis

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation combines three contributions to the literature on the determinants of well-being
and the social nature of preferences. Departures from self-centred, consumption-oriented decision making are increasingly common in economic theory and are empirically well motivated
by a wide range of behavioural data from experiments, surveys, and econometric inference. The
first two contributions are focused on the idea that reference levels set by others’ consumption
may figure prominently in both experienced well-being and in decision making. In the first
paper, the well-being question is addressed empirically through the use of self-reported life satisfaction and high-resolution census and survey data in Canada. Strong income externalities
are found at multiple spatial scales after controlling for various confounding factors. The second paper explores the general equilibrium consequences of a utility function having an explicit
comparison with neighbours’ consumption. The question is investigated in a model in which
decision makers knowingly choose their neighbours — and hence their consumption reference
level — as well as their own consumption expenditure, thereby helping to set the reference
level for nearby others. For both discrete and continuous distributions of types in an economy
with a heterogeneous population undergoing such endogenous formation of consumption reference groups, there exist general equilibria in which differentiation of neighbourhoods occurs
endogenously. The novel welfare implications of growth in such economies are described. The
final paper addresses econometric reservations about the use of subjective reports as dependent
variables. The date and location of survey interviews are combined with weather and climate
records to construct the random component of weather conditions experienced by respondents
on the day of their interview. Standard inferences about the determinants of life satisfaction
remain robust after taking into account this significant source of affective bias.

Previous issue date: 2015-03-02O debate entre os paradigmas da mecânica e o sistêmico tem causado importantes revoluções nos mais diversos campos de conhecimento, principalmente na física, química e biologia. Sendo assim, esta dissertação tem o objetivo de analisar como as teorias sistêmicas mais recentes desenvolvidas na química, a partir de Prigogine, e na biologia, conforme Maturana e Varela, podem contribuir para a abordagem institucionalista de Veblen. Para isso, apoiar-se-á na hipótese fornecida pela Teoria Geral dos Sistemas, de Bertalanffy (2006), no qual se refere que os princípios que regem um determinado sistema independem das particularidades de seus componentes mas do modo como estes se inter-relacionam. Assim, a convergência entre estas três teorias passa a ser válida uma vez que o tipo de sistema tratado em todas seja caracterizado por: 1) irreversibilidade da trajetória de suas mudanças, 2) com oposição à ideia de equilíbrio e 3) a introdução de uma abordagem evolucionária e com tempo histórico. Este trabalho se inicia a partir da introdução ao debate entre os paradigmas da mecânica e sistêmico surgido no ramo da física. Na sequência apresenta os referenciais teóricos do institucionalismo de Veblen e da teoria das estruturas dissipativas e autopoiese. Em seguida é feito a análise de convergência entre os arcabouços teóricos vistos, e verificado como as abordagens de Prigogine juntamente com a de Maturana e Varela podem contribuir para o estudo das instituições. Por fim é mostrado como a abordagem desenvolvida neste trabalho pode auxiliar no tratamento de questões relacionadas à economia, com ênfase dada especificamente no que tange a economia monetária.
The debate between the paradigms of mechanical and systemic has caused important revolutions in various fields of knowledge, especially in physics, chemistry and biology. Thus, this work aims to analyze how the most recent systemic theories developed in chemistry, from Prigogine, and biology, as Maturana and Varela, can contribute to the institutional approach of Veblen. For this, will be supporting the hypothesis provided by General Systems Theory of Bertalanffy (2006), which mentions that the principles governing a given system independent of the peculiarities of its components but how these interrelate . The convergence between these three theories becomes valid once the treaty system in all type is characterized by: 1) irreversibility of the trajectory of your changes, 2) with opposition to the idea of equilibrium and 3) the introduction of a evolutionary and historical time approach. This study starts from the introduction to the debate between the paradigms of mechanical and systemic emerged in the physics branch. Following presents the theoretical frameworks of institutionalism of Veblen and the theory of dissipative structures and autopoiesis. Next up is done the analysis of convergence between visas theoretical frameworks, and verified as the approaches of Prigogine along with Maturana and Varela can contribute to the study of institutions. Finally it is shown how the approach developed in this work can assist in addressing issues related to the economy, with emphasis specifically with respect to monetary economics.

Full textAbstract:
O presente trabalho objetiva investigar as proximidades e afastamentos nas análises de Thorstein Bunde Veblen e de Karl Heinrich Marx acerca das relações de causalidade entre a estrutura e o sujeito. Para desenvolver essa questão, é abordada a concepção de indivíduo, de instituições e suas relações de causalidade na ótica de Veblen, as quais partem da crítica aos autores clássicos e neoclássicos. É exposta, ainda, a crítica que Veblen efetua a Marx por entendê-lo como determinista. Abordam-se, também, as origens da caricatura de Marx determinista em sua própria obra, a partir de seu arcabouço teórico, o materialismo histórico dialético. Nele o sujeito é condicionado pelas relações produtivas, em uma conjunção de propriedade privada e alienação. O rótulo de Marx tem também origem por seu intento de contradizer o idealismo e demonstrar a importância da história para se entender a realidade. A referida visão é desconstruída a partir das dispersas passagens em que Marx reconhece o indivíduo e sua influência sobre a estrutura. Por fim, são frisadas as zonas de aproximação e distanciamento entre as duas abordagens, assim como críticas a ambos.This research aims at investigating the approximation and distances in the analysis of Thorstein Bunde Veblen and Karl Heinrich Marx about the causal relationships between structure and individual. To develop this issue, it is discussed the conception of individual, of institutions and their causal relationships from Veblen‘s perspective, which starts out from a critic to classical and neoclassical authors. It is also exposed the criticism that Veblen does to Marx by understanding that the last is deterministic. It is discoursed the sources of Marx‘s deterministic caricature in his own work, from its theoretical, the historical dialectical materialism. At this approach, the individual is conditioned by the productive relations, in a combination of private ownership and alienation. This label has also origin from Marx‘s attempts of contradicting the idealism and demonstrates the importance of history for understanding reality. That vision is deconstructed from scattered passages in which Marx recognizes the individual and their influence on the structure. Finally, the distance between the two approaches are beaded, as well as critical to both.

O debate entre os paradigmas da mecânica e o sistêmico tem causado importantes revoluções nos mais diversos campos de conhecimento, principalmente na física, química e biologia. Sendo assim, esta dissertação tem o objetivo de analisar como as teorias sistêmicas mais recentes desenvolvidas na química, a partir de Prigogine, e na biologia, conforme Maturana e Varela, podem contribuir para a abordagem institucionalista de Veblen. Para isso, apoiar-se-á na hipótese fornecida pela Teoria Geral dos Sistemas, de Bertalanffy (2006), no qual se refere que os princípios que regem um determinado sistema independem das particularidades de seus componentes mas do modo como estes se inter-relacionam. Assim, a convergência entre estas três teorias passa a ser válida uma vez que o tipo de sistema tratado em todas seja caracterizado por: 1) irreversibilidade da trajetória de suas mudanças, 2) com oposição à ideia de equilíbrio e 3) a introdução de uma abordagem evolucionária e com tempo histórico. Este trabalho se inicia a partir da introdução ao debate entre os paradigmas da mecânica e sistêmico surgido no ramo da física. Na sequência apresenta os referenciais teóricos do institucionalismo de Veblen e da teoria das estruturas dissipativas e autopoiese. Em seguida é feito a análise de convergência entre os arcabouços teóricos vistos, e verificado como as abordagens de Prigogine juntamente com a de Maturana e Varela podem contribuir para o estudo das instituições. Por fim é mostrado como a abordagem desenvolvida neste trabalho pode auxiliar no tratamento de questões relacionadas à economia, com ênfase dada especificamente no que tange a economia monetária.
The debate between the paradigms of mechanical and systemic has caused important revolutions in various fields of knowledge, especially in physics, chemistry and biology. Thus, this work aims to analyze how the most recent systemic theories developed in chemistry, from Prigogine, and biology, as Maturana and Varela, can contribute to the institutional approach of Veblen. For this, will be supporting the hypothesis provided by General Systems Theory of Bertalanffy (2006), which mentions that the principles governing a given system independent of the peculiarities of its components but how these interrelate . The convergence between these three theories becomes valid once the treaty system in all type is characterized by: 1) irreversibility of the trajectory of your changes, 2) with opposition to the idea of equilibrium and 3) the introduction of a evolutionary and historical time approach. This study starts from the introduction to the debate between the paradigms of mechanical and systemic emerged in the physics branch. Following presents the theoretical frameworks of institutionalism of Veblen and the theory of dissipative structures and autopoiesis. Next up is done the analysis of convergence between visas theoretical frameworks, and verified as the approaches of Prigogine along with Maturana and Varela can contribute to the study of institutions. Finally it is shown how the approach developed in this work can assist in addressing issues related to the economy, with emphasis specifically with respect to monetary economics.

La satisfacción que las personas obtienen al consumir bienes y servicios no solamente viene de las cualidades intrínsecas de estos. Los productos con precios más altos tienden a darle satisfacción a las personas mediante el status y reconocimiento social, lo cual se ha estudiado y documentado hace más de doscientos años bajo el concepto de consumo conspicuo. Además, los precios elevados dan señales sobre la calidad de los bienes que un consumidor tiene enfrente, en ausencia de información relevante Este documento explora los dos fenómenos descritos previamente, que en la literatura económica son agrupados dentro del llamado efecto Veblen. A partir de una metodología empírica de campo, herramienta muy utilizada en la economía del comportamiento, se explora la existencia del efecto Veblen en las decisiones de consumo de pisco en Lima Metropolitana. Un cuestionario, aplicado a una muestra representativa de la cuidad, permite recoger importantes datos subjetivos que se codifican en datos cuantitativos y, utilizando un modelo probit, se estima la probabilidad de que un individuo exhiba una decisión de consumir pisco dominada por el efecto Veblen. Las estimaciones muestran que los habitantes de Lima Metropolitana tienen entre 75% y 85% de probabilidad de mostrar un comportamiento Veblen en la compra de la bebida de bandera. Contrariamente a lo que un modelo analítico predice, las probabilidades de exhibir efecto Veblen crecen cuando se estudia individuos de estratos socioeconómicos más bajos y aquellos que ostentan menor status. La literatura sobre este tipo de fenómenos es escasa, pero los hallazgos de esta investigación son alentadores para posibles investigaciones futuras en torno a estos temas poco ortodoxos.

Full textAbstract:
L'institutionnalisme constitue une protestation contre les théories dites orthodoxes qui accordent une place centrale au marché. Comme son nom l'indique, il prétend attribuer aux institutions un rôle non moins important dans l'analyse des phénomènes économiques. Toutefois, pour ce faire, il emprunte des voies différentes. La démarche de Veblen, elle, s'appuie sur l'anthropologie. S'y opposent les institutions industrielles et pécuniaires. Dans ce schéma holiste, la compétition entre les individus sur le marché entrave le développement de la technologie qui relevé d'une solidarité communautaire. Chez Commons, au contraire, il n'existe pas d'incompatibilité entre les intérêts individuels et collectifs. Son point de vue se fonde sur le droit et sa méthodologie est partiellement individualiste. Dans cette configuration, les institutions soutiennent le marché. Ce qui doit assurer le progrès socialInstitutionalism constitutes a protest against theories called orthodox which are focused on market mechanisms. As its name shows, it intends to ascribe to institutions a place no less important in the analysis of economic phenomena. Nevertheless, in order to do that, it uses various ways. Veblen puts an emphasis on anthropology. In his approach, are opposed industrial and pecuniary institutions. In this holistic perspective, competition between individuals following the rules of market hinders technological progress that comes under solidarity in the community. According to commons, on the contrary, there is no incompatibility between individual and collective interests. His point of view is founded on law and his methodology is partly individualistic. In this configuration, institutions support the market. And this is supposed to ensure social progress

Full textAbstract:
Similarly to the great names of political economy, Thorstein Veblens writings have been animating a myriad of economic studies for more than a century. This way, within what seems to be an eternal re-founding of a veblenian paradigm it is straightforward to perceive a clear trend: the abandon of the attitude of positing Veblen in his times, of analyzing him as a man from the Gilded Age and the Progressive Era. Therefore, this Thesis intends to recover a theme that the earlier studies concerning Thorstein Veblen had presented. That theme was to evaluate his work within the rich scenario when his native nation had come to be the worlds capitalism leader. Hence, for that objective this work takes the Sociology of Scientific Knowledge of the Scottish Strong Programme, founded by the pioneer David Bloors book Knowledge and Social Imagery, as an auxiliary. The central hypothesis is that the Veblens institutional economics structurally reflects the American nineteenth century pathway. Meanwhile, it is remarked that his system embraces recurrent ideas sustained by north-American anticonservatives since the colonial times.Assim como acontece com os grandes nomes da economia política, os escritos de Thorstein Veblen animam, há mais de cem anos, uma miríade de estudos econômicos. Nesse passo, no que parece uma eterna refundação do paradigma institucionalista de cores veblenianas, é possível observar uma tendência clara: o abandono da atitude de postar Veblen em seu tempo, de analisá-lo como homem dos Estados Unidos da Gilded Age e da Era Progressiva. Esta Tese, portanto, pretende retomar a temática dos primeiros estudos acerca de Thorstein Veblen e, assim, colocar sua obra no riquíssimo cenário dos anos em que seu país natal tornava-se o líder do capitalismo mundial. Destarte, em auxílio do cumprimento deste objetivo, o trabalho socorre-se da Sociologia do Conhecimento Científico do chamado Programa Forte escocês, fundado pelo trabalho pioneiro de David Bloor, Knowledge and Social Imagery. A hipótese central é que a arquitetura da economia institucionalista de Veblen reflete estruturalmente o caminho histórico do capitalismo norte-americano no século XIX, bem como comporta idéias recorrentes desde a era colonial entre os anticonservadores daquele país.

Previous issue date: 2014-05-30O consumo é um tema central na economia e foi abordado em diversas correntes microeconômicas, além de ser estudado em diversas outras áreas como a Administração, Marketing, Psicologia, Sociologia, etc. Este trabalho busca mostrar a importância da contribuição de Thorstein Veblen acerca deste tema, que engloba componentes como instintos, hábitos e instituições. Para tanto, inicia-se a pesquisa com uma retrospectiva histórica sobre a conjuntura institucional na qual o autor escreveu sua obra. Ao longo desta são apontados como os fenômenos históricos influenciaram algumas das obras do autor. Em seguida, apresenta-se a teoria do processo de decisão do agente em sua forma mais abstrata, no que tange à inter-relação dos instintos, hábitos e instituições. Esta análise se inicia com um breve panorama da Teoria da Utilidade Marginal, qual seja, a interpretação marginalista sobre o consumo, seguida da crítica vebleniana a esta teoria. Estas seções são importantes pois é a partir da crítica à Utilidade Marginal que Veblen apresenta quais são as bases essenciais para uma teoria do consumo institucionalista assim como quais são suas concepções epistemológicas. Em seguida examina-se a teoria do processo de decisão do agente vebleniano, base para a elaboração tanto da teoria do consumo conspícuo quanto do consumo padronizado. Na sequência, analisa-se o consumo conspícuo na obra de Veblen e a interpretação marginalista deste conceito. Busca-se avaliar em que medida esta última se afasta da teoria original, assim como mostrar seus avanços acerca do tema. Demonstra-se, a partir da análise do livro The Theory of Bussiness Enterprise, que a concepção vebleniana não está restrita ao consumo conspícuo e apresenta o conceito de consumo padronizado, responsável por analisar mercadorias não emulativas.
The consumption issues are central to the economic theory, and were approached by various microeconomic schools and as well by other disciplines as Administration, Marketing, Psychology, Sociology, etc. This Dissertation tries to demonstrate the importance of Thorstein Veblen contribution to the theme, primarily by the inclusion of instincts, habits and institutions in the analysis. To this purpose, the study initiate with a historical retrospective of the decades that Veblen wrote his most important works. As the historical phenomena are discussed, there are indications of how those have influenced Veblen’s works. Afterwards, the Veblen’s decision making process is presented, with specific sections to instincts and habits/institution, as well as the interrelation between those factors. This analysis initiate with an overview of the marginalist theory of consumption (the marginal utility theory), and Veblen’s critic to this point of view. Those sections are important to express the origin point of Veblen epistemological proposition for an evolutionary economics. Subsequently, the decision making process is analyzed per se. Over this process lies all Veblen’s consumption theory, both the conspicuous and the standardized. Finally, the primary objective of this Dissertation is investigated, first by the survey of Veblen’s Conspicuous Consumption Theory, the original proposition, than its latter unfolding research, the marginal interpretation. In these section the research attempt to expose in which points the marginal interpretation of the Conspicuous Consumption advances as well in which points it deviates from the original proposition. Finally, from the analysis of The Theory of Business Enterprise book, the research indicates that Veblen’s consumer theory is not restricted to the Conspicuous Consumption of luxury brands. Otherwise, with the introduction of standardized consumption concept, this theory embodies the wage goods as well.

Full textAbstract:
Ma thèse s'intéresse à la théorie financière de l'entreprise qui émerge entre 1880 et 1929, ainsi qu’à l’apport de Veblen.Tout d'abord nous mettons en exergue les contributions analytique et macroéconomique que livre Veblen concernant la business enterprise. Il met en avant un triptyque crédit-actions-goodwill grâce auquel nous affirmons qu'il est un théoricien "pré-moderne" de la finance d'entreprise. Sa vision du goodwill lui permet de dresser une théorie de l'investissement qui s'ancre dans la filiation de la Q-Theory. Il propose ainsi un regard pionnier sur le management d'entreprise, avec son analyse du comportement de l'insider et de l'outsider. Dans un second temps, à travers un travail d'archives et une investigation dans les premiers manuels de finance d'entreprise, nous présentons une lecture de l'émergence de cette discipline académique, issue de la pratique des grandes entreprises. Un premier vocabulaire et les premières théories émergent. Par ailleurs, un débat plus large prend place concernant l'éducation aux Etats-Unis et l'institutionnalisation de l'enseignement des affaires dans la higher education, auquel Veblen prend partMy PhD dissertation focuses on the theory of the corporate finance that emerged between 1880 and 1929, as well as the contribution of Veblen.First, we highlight Veblen’s analytical and macroeconomic contributions to the business enterprise. He highlights a trinity credit-equity-goodwill by which we assert that he is a "pre-modern" theorist of corporate finance. His vision of goodwill allows him to draw up a theory of investment that is rooted in the affiliation of the Q-Theory. It thus offers a pioneering look at the management of an enterprise, with its analysis of the behavior of the insider and the outsider.Secondly, through an archival work and an investigation into the first corporate finance manuals, we present a reading of the emergence of this academic discipline, resulting from the practice of large companies. A first vocabulary and the first theories emerge. In addition, there is a wider debate about education in the United States and the institutionalization of business education in higher education, in which Veblen takes part

Full textAbstract:
Thorstein B. Veblen (1857-1929) est la principale figure de référence de l'institutionnalisme, un courant de pensée économique qui se constitue aux États-Unis durant l'entre-deux-guerres. Veblen construit une théorie générale de la connaissance, dont il tire un projet scientifique visant à l'élaboration d'une économie "évolutionniste". Tirant parti d'une théorie des comportements humains fondée sur les concepts d'instinct et d'habitude, il développe une analyse du changement institutionnel que nous interprétons en termes d'"effets émergents". Si la plupart des institutionnalistes contemporains se revendiquent de son héritage intellectuel, nombre d'entre eux ont de facto abandonné son projet scientifique, au profit d'une économie normative du progrès socio-économique inspirée de la pensée de Clarence E. Ayres. Dans ces conditions, une réhabilitation de l'économie "évolutionniste" veblenienne apparaît comme un enjeu important pour l'avenir de l'institutionnalismeThorstein Veblen is the main figure of institutionalism, a movement in economics which formed in the United States in the nineteen twenties. He develops a general theory of knowledge that constitutes the basis of a scientific project aiming at the elaboration of an "evolutionary" economics. Resting on a theory of human behaviour based on the concepts of instinct and habit, Veblen offers an analysis of institutional change which we interpret in terms of "emergent effects". Although most contemporary institutionalists claim to be his followers, a lot of them have de facto given up his scientific project, adopting a normative conception of economics that deals with socio-economic progress, thus following Clarence E. Ayres' approach. A restoration to favour of the Veblenian "evolutionary" economics is therefore needed in regards to the future of institutionalism

Full textAbstract:
By probing Thorstein B. Veblen&rsquos (1857-1929) and Joseph A. Schumpeter&rsquo
s (1883-1950) views on technology, this thesis aims at displaying an institutional economic approach to technology. Most of the contemporary studies on technological change are under the dominance of neoclassical economics. Because of their inadequacies in revealing the complex structure of technological phenomena due to their adherence to mechanistic and deterministic postulations of orthodox economic theory, an institutional approach to technology has become a must. Therefore, today, the fundamental ideas of Veblen and Schumpeter concerning technology are used heavily to constitute an alternative approach by evolutionary and institutionalist economists in their technical, philosophical, sociological and methodological studies. In this sense, this thesis, based upon a comparative analysis of Veblen and Schumpeter, is engaged with presenting an alternative conceptual framework for science and technology policy studies.

Full textAbstract:
La question de la bonne consommation a disparu des préoccupations de la théorie économique contemporaine. Pensée à travers l’exercice d’une rationalité instrumentale, la décision du consommateur se fonde désormais sur un rapport technique avec les biens dans lequel autrui est écarté. La consommation consiste alors en l’exaltation d’une volonté qui n’est entravée que par une contrainte de revenu. Nous proposons ici de relire trois auteurs qui se sont préoccupés de l’influence du regard d’autrui dans le choix de l’acteur tout en refusant d’assimiler celle-ci à la contrainte sociale à la manière de la sociologie classique. Peu étudiés dans cette perspective, nous montrons qu’Adam Smith, Gabriel Tarde et Thorstein Veblen ont consacré une grande partie de leur œuvre à la question de la formation des interactions sociales par la consommation et ont insisté sur son influence dans la constitution des individus. Par une lecture attentive de leur théorie sociale, nous essayons en particulier d’identifier ce qui dans le rapport à l’autre permettrait au consommateur de se protéger du risque de perte dans l’illimitation de son désirThe issue of good consumption is no longer a concern for economics. The decision of the consumer, described in terms of instrumental rationality, is based on a relationship with commodities from which other people are excluded. Consumption consists of the exaltation of a will which is only subject to a budget constraint. I analyse three authors who did examine the influence of others on an individual’s choice while refusing to resume it by a social constraint as in traditional sociology. Rarely studied from this point of view, I show that Adam Smith, Gabriel Tarde and Thorstein Veblen devoted most of their work to the question of the formation of social interactions through consumption, and insisted on its influence in the construction of an individual. By studying their social theory, I try to identify what element in the relationship would protect the consumer from the risk of loss due to his illimitated desire

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation addresses the phenomenon of 'radical commodities'-commercial products which advance an oppositional politics. Examples of such include the products of Rage Against The Machine, a 'revolutionary' rock band; Michael Moore, a best-selling author and award-winning documentary filmmaker; Naomi Klein, a journalist and author of the international bestseller No Logo; The Body Shop, a multinational manufacturer and retailer of 'natural' cosmetics and toiletries; Freitag, a company which manufactures bags, wallets and other fashionable accessories from recycled materials, and; the Adbusters Media Foundation, publisher of Adbusters magazine and producer of Blackspot shoes. Radical commodities are fundamentally paradoxical objects whose apparent ethic would appear to be at odds with the fact that they are commodities. This dissertation asks: can a commodity-object legitimately serve as a vehicle for social and political critique? It is reasoned that the problem of radical commodities is principally structural. Marx's seminal writings on the commodity accordingly represent the logical point of departure. The Marxian analysis illuminates not only the commodity-structure, but also the political problematic which emerges from that structure-for Marx, the commodity is a mechanism of exploitation. From an orthodox Marxist perspective, the idea of a radical commodity would therefore be most contradictory, or indeed impossible. It is argued, however, that the Marxian analysis is inconclusive. This dissertation traces a genealogy of analyses of the commodity, which variously advance or diverge from the orthodox Marxist position. From a perspective of the consumption of commodity-objects, the radical commodity would appear to be possible. Yet, the relationship between the commodity-structure and the capitalist ideology runs deep. The question of the radical commodity is therefore markedly more complex than it might initially appear. With regard to the ideological consequence of the commodity-structure, however, certain streams of post-Marxist analysis are themselves problematic, for they ultimately short-circuit historical critique and destabilise the very possibility of politics. In contrast, this dissertation seeks to reaffirm a place for politics and, in so doing, to establish the theoretical possibility of radical commodities. To contend that the idea of a radical commodity is not fundamentally contradictory, however, says nothing of the political potency of such objects. These are undoubtedly complex objects, whose peculiarities cannot be ascertained by abstract theorisation alone. For this reason, this dissertation also employs empirical analyses of a number of radical commodities. In sum, it is argued that the sphere of commodities should be admitted as a possible site for the expression or implementation of a radical politics, and thus that radical commodities should be understood as a legitimate vehicle for social and political critique, but that such objects are by no means free from contradiction, and that the political efficacy of these products is anything but guaranteed.

Les résultats des marchés fonciers dépendent de la gestion de l'espace qui est elle-même tributaire de nombreuses institutions telles que la tenure foncière ou la structure économique. La gestion n'agit pas seulement comme une contrainte visant à ordonner l'utilisation de l'espace. Dans des contextes insulaires caractérisés par des vulnérabilités, elle est un moyen de développer des résiliences et d'accéder au développement. Elle a permis, à Maurice et à La Réunion, la transformation de la monoculture de canne et sert encore de levier à la poursuite de la diversification et de la croissance économiques. Elle permet de dépasser le malthusianisme qui conclut à une rareté absolue du foncier. Elle est un moyen d'optimiser l'utilisation d'une ressource stratégique qui existe en quantité limitéeVeblenism helps construct a market theory that takes into account the role of institutions. It transcends the Marshallian perspective of partial equilibrium. Land markets depend on town and country planning which depends on various institutions like the land tenure or the economic structure. Planning does not solely imply a means of constraints in order to achieve orderly patterns of land use. Given the economic and ecological vulnerabilities of small island territories, it is a means to develop resilience and to attain sustainable development. In Mauritius and Reunion, land planning has enabled the transformation of the economic structure from mono-crop to diversified economies and it still constitutes a lever of economic diversification and growth. It is a means to surmount the Malthusian perspective because instead of inferring absolute scarcity of land in the Mascarenes, land is considered to be a strategic resource whose use has to be optimised by planning

Full textAbstract:
The name of the American economist and social analyst Thorstein Veblen has been inextricably linked with the term “conspicuous consumption” referring to the competitive consumption practices and leisure activities that aim to indicate one’s membership in a superior social class. However, the ‘classical models’ of consumer behaviour face difficulty in accommodating and understanding the nature of conspicuous economic display and a serious study of Veblen’s arguments on the consumption practices of the ‘nouveau-riche’, non-utilitarian and status-directed behaviour has been noticeable only through its absence. This Thesis suggests and encourages a rereading of Veblen’s The Theory of the Leisure Class through a critical examination about the adoption and discussion of his work. Thereupon, it argues that although many marketing theorists and consumer researchers will be aware of some of the terminology popularized from his book, surprisingly little attention seems to have been paid to the substance of Veblen’s arguments and ideas. Also, via a series of existential phenomenological interviews and employment of vignettes, this study sought to draw broader conclusions about how ostentatious consumption activities and ‘status consumption’ are perceived nowadays by adult middle-income British consumers. Overall, the findings suggested that the notion of ‘achieved status’ receives a more intangible and honorable connotation compared to the excessive features of luxurious products and services and participants’ accounts indicated that conformity and individual’s need for a socially acceptable identity can be viewed as the primary motivations behind conspicuous consumption practices. In conclusion, it is argued that negative connotations associated with ostentatious economic display necessitate the reappraisal of Veblen’s accounts about consumer’s rising expectations and desires together with further research as regards the ‘taboo’ and sensitive issue of upward social mobility via consumption.

This research ventures into a field that is very popular among movie audiences but not as highly valued in cinema studies: film comedy. Its chosen corpus encloses films written and directed by an artist that is also scarcely studied, even among experts in the field of Cinema and even in his own country: Francis Veber, the French veteran who has written over 30 films and directed 12.The dual purpose of the research is to contribute to the discussion of cinema as entertainment, mainly in its dramaturgical aspect, and also to shed more light on the work of Veber, an artist who shows ability on dealing with the construction of humorous narratives and on blending various types of comicality, and one that often excels the canons of comedy. Therefore, the research intends to combine the study of so-called "genre cinema" (comedy, in this case) and "auteur cinema" (by seeking the stylistic traits of the filmmaker), valuing the dialogue between these two fields and not treating as divergent. To this end, it follows three conceptual axes: the characterization of the comic hero in its various manifestations; the narrative structures in film comedy; and the various forms of comicality (burlesque, situational, satirical, parodic and verbal), all the while linking these axes with Vebers films. Next the research studies two specific traits in Vebers oeuvre, notably in the so-called "Pignon Saga": his peculiar strategy of casting throughout the saga,and also the transformation of François Pignon from character to meta-character.These reflections may help in the study or development of screenplays that take comicality into account and that value the involvement of the spectator in the construction of film discourse.Esta pesquisa aventura-se num campo bastante popular entre o público cinematográfico, mas menos valorizado por teóricos e críticos de arte a comédia, especialmente o filme cômico e tem como corpus a obra de um artista pouco estudado, mesmo entre os especialistas da área de Cinema e em seu próprio país: o francês Francis Veber, veterano que já roteirizou mais de 30 filmes e dirigiu 12.O duplo objetivo da pesquisa foi contribuir para a discussão do cinema de entretenimento, sobretudo em seu aspecto dramatúrgico e, ao mesmo tempo, lançar mais luzes sobre a obra de Veber, artista que demonstra habilidade em lidar com a construção da narrativa humorística, com os vários tipos de comicidade e que em muitos momentos ultrapassa os cânones da comédia. Dessa forma, procurou-se conciliar o estudo do chamado cinema de gênero (no caso, a comédia) e do cinema de autor (buscando as marcas estilísticas do cineasta), valorizando o diálogo entre estes dois campos e não os tratando como divergentes. Para isso, partiu-se de três eixos conceituais: a caracterização do herói cômico em suas várias manifestações; a estrutura da narrativa cômica no cinema; e as diversas formas de comicidade: burlesca, de situação, satírica, paródica e verbal,sempre as relacionando com a produção de Francis Veber. Além disso, foram estudadas duas características da filmografia de Veber, mais especificamente na chamada Saga Pignon: sua peculiar estratégia de casting ao longo desta série de filmes, e também a transformação de François Pignon de personagem em meta-personagem.Essas reflexões podem auxiliar no estudo de filmes e na elaboração de roteiros cinematográficos que levem em conta a comicidade e/ou o envolvimento do espectador na construção do discurso fílmico.

Full textAbstract:
Political cartoons as headline representation are in effect a combination of artistic licence and a critical version of the truth. Linley Sambourne and Jean Veber’s 1901 cartoons on the Boer War for Punch and L’Assiette au Beurre create tensions and dialectic not only on British and French feeling about foreign policy in South Africa and at home, but also indicate fine points on each publication’s editorial remit. This comparative study is a mirroring synthesis of these approaches that sets the Boer War forty five cartoons in context. Whereas Punch’s cartoons are set within a text layout and L’Assiette’s are the text themselves, both transmit set ideas on The Boer War as ‘sight bite’ news and opinion pieces. Veber’s cartoons offered swift knee-jerk reactions against the ruling elite and the horrors of British cruelty toward Boer prisoners as coverage of the war escalated in 1901. His extreme capturing of the zeitgeist followed the magazine’s editorial bent, but they also reflected his brave counter-hegemonic stance towards a French government seeking an alliance with its British counterpart. With this in mind, Antonio Gramsci’s theory on hegemony as applied to journalism allows the scholar to look at the media from a cultural perspective. This focus is used to show cartoons as representative of conflicts in the fight for power, but this time publicly conveyed to the readership. Thus, types of truth enhancements in each set of cartoons indicate the cartoonists’ respective entrenchment with, or detachment from, Imperial institutions, thereby signalling emerging attempts of the attitudinal persuasion of the reader toward Punch or L’Assiette’s political leanings. The inclusion of political cartoons in editorial pages was part of the cult of visual attention-grabbing news values that had become professionalised, industrialised and popularised by the early Twentieth Century. Cartoons can be decoded using Ernst Gombrich’s six-point filter in order to identify the cartoonist’s method of compressing messages about people and events. A publication’s politics are reflected in the telescoping of exaggerated opinions – an effective way to pass on an authoritatively saturated message to the readership. Gombrich recognised the power of conveying messages to the audience through seemingly incongruous placement of figures in odd situations within cartoons. His methodology acts as visual shorthand for images designed to elicit a desired response to a reported situation as the publication saw it. In the context of the history of journalism, his psychologically analytical approach is appropriate in the appreciation of cartoons’ extremes, often made more acute by the partisan politics of war.

Au Québec, des milliers de tonnes de résidus de béton sont issus de la démolition des infrastructures et des milliers de tonnes de verre sont récupérés annuellement. Seulement près de la moitié de ces résidus sont réutilisés. La pression pour trouver des applications potentielles permettant une réutilisation optimale de ces résidus de démolition est grandissante. Dans un contexte de développement durable, la ville de Montréal a comme défi de réutiliser tous les matériaux de démolition qu’elle génère et tout le verre qu’elle récupère. Ce projet de recherche, financé par la ville de Montréal, s’inscrit donc dans une perspective de valorisation des matériaux recyclés et de développement de matériaux innovants et durables.
L’objectif de cette étude de recherche est d’étudier et d’évaluer les divers potentiels d’application des granulats de béton recyclé et des granulats de verre recyclé dans les bétons compactés au rouleau. Le programme d’essais réalisé dans le cadre de cette étude comporte quatre phases. Dans un premier temps, des essais réalisés sur les matériaux recyclés ont permis de mieux les caractériser afin de formuler des mélanges de BCR optimaux. Par la suite, les propriétés à l’état frais et les propriétés mécaniques des BCR ont été réalisées en laboratoire. L’analyse de ces propriétés a permis de déterminer un taux de remplacement optimal. Ce taux de remplacement a été utilisé afin d’évaluer l’impact sur la durabilité des mélanges. Finalement, des analyses sommaires ont été réalisées afin de démontrer l’impact économique et environnemental d’un remplacement granulaire par des MR-2 dans les BCR.
Les travaux de recherches ont montré qu’un remplacement granulaire par des matériaux recyclés affecte les propriétés à l’état frais, les propriétés mécaniques et la durabilité des BCR. Il a été montré qu’un taux de remplacement de ± 40 % dans le cas des granulats de béton recyclé et de ± 25 % dans le cas des granulats de verre recyclés permet d’obtenir un BCR présentant des propriétés satisfaisantes. Finalement, des analyses sommaires démontrent que l’utilisation de matériaux recyclés dans les BCR est profitable tant en matière économique et qu’en matière environnementale.

Full textAbstract:
Concrete, the second most used material in the world, presents great performance and economic benefits. Yet, it is often characterized by a brittle behaviour, low tensile strength, and toughness. Fibers are usually added to concrete to counteract its brittle behaviour, increasing ductility and toughness, controlling crack propagation and delaying concrete failure. However, their addition significantly worsens the fresh state performance of the material. To improve fresh state of the so-called Fiber Reinforced Concrete (FRC), conventional mix-design methods recommend the use of high paste content, which results in a significant increase of Portland cement (PC) content and raises the carbon footprint of the material. The latter is responsible for 8% of the global annual carbon dioxide (CO2) anthropogenic emissions. Given the current worldwide concerns on global warming, the construction industry is in a need to lessen the demand, and thus production of PC. Recent studies have been focusing on the use of advanced mix-design techniques (i.e. particle packing models- PPMs) along with Inert Fillers (IF) as an alternative to reduce PC content in concrete. However, the latter was not applied to conventional FRC. In this work, advanced mix design techniques (i.e. PPMs) are used to overcome the aforementioned issues and mix-proportion eco-efficient FRC with low cement content (< 300 kg/m3). Fresh (i.e. VeBe time, slump, rheological behaviour) and hardened (i.e. compressive strength, and flexural behaviour) state tests were performed on the proposed mixtures and compared with control high PC content (375 kg/m3) FRC mixes. Results show that PPM designed mixes presented higher minimum torque (yield stress) but quite comparable apparent viscositiy when compared to conventionally designed mixtures. Moreover, the flowability (i.e. VeBe time, and slump) tends to decrease as fiber content, length, and/or as the amount of fillers increase in the mixtures. In addition, PPM mixes exhibited a shear thinning behaviour following the Herschel-Bulkley model, which enables the design of FRC PPM mix-proportioned mixtures for applications requiring high torque regimes such as vibrated and/or pumped concrete. Finally, results show that the use of PPMs to mix proportion eco-efficient low cement FRC mixtures produced improved hardened (i.e. compressive strength, and flexural performance) state behaviour with lower environmental impact than conventional ACI designed FRC mixtures.

L’utilisation des bétons secs représente de grands volumes de production au Québec. Pour des raisons techniques, économiques et environnementales, l’utilisation d’ajouts cimentaires dans ce type de béton est pratique courante. Le coût et la disponibilité de ces matériaux peuvent toutefois être un obstacle à leur utilisation. Ce projet vise donc à étudier la possibilité d’utiliser des matériaux alternatifs en remplacement partiel du ciment dans les bétons compactés au rouleau et les bétons moulés à sec. Les matériaux à l’étude sont : la poudre de verre, des poussières de pierre calcaire et des poussières de béton concassé. Les bétons compactés au rouleau fabriqués en laboratoire sont représentatifs des mélanges typiques utilisés pour la fabrication de pavages. En fonction de leur maniabilité, ces bétons se divisent en deux catégories distinctes : les bétons compactés au rouleau (BCR) et les bétons compactés à la paveuse (BCP). Les essais réalisés sur ces bétons permettent d’évaluer l’influence de la poudre de verre et des poussières de concassage sur la maniabilité du béton frais, la résistance à la compression, la résistance à la flexion et la pénétration des ions chlore.
Les bétons moulés à sec fabriqués en laboratoire sont représentatifs des mélanges utilisés par l’industrie pour la fabrication de pavés.

Des blocs de maçonnerie et des pavés ont été fabriqués en usine pour évaluer le potentiel d’utilisation de la poudre de verre en remplacement cimentaire. La masse volumique, l’absorption et la résistance à la compression ont été mesurées en laboratoire sur ces éléments. La résistance à l’écaillage a été mesurée sur les pavés.

В диссертационном исследовании раскрыты теоретические основы определения экономической эффективности экспортно-импортной деятельности промышленных предприятий и методы её повышения. Определена группа факторов, влияющих на эффективность экспортно-импортной деятельности промышленных предприятий. Построена расчётная схема экспортной деятельности промышленного предприятия, которая позволила сделать вывод о том, что факторы, связанные с её осуществлением, могут соотноситься с различными категориями расходов предприятия, а также формировать непрямые связи и зависимости. Проанализирована экспортно-импортная деятельность промышленных предприятий Украины, производящих парфюмерно-косметическую продукцию, и её влияние на их финансовое состояние и общую экономическую результативность. На основе классификации предприятий была создана их репрезентативная кластерная выборка и сформированы базы данных финансовых показателей экспортно-импортных операций выбранной группы промышленных предприятий. Анализ баз данных позволил провести диагностику влияния факторов экспортно-импортной деятельности промышленных предприятий на показатели их экономической результативности. Проведенное исследование стало основой для разработки организационно-экономического обеспечения экономической эффективности экспортно-импортной деятельности промышленных предприятий, которое предусматривает комплексное воздействие на базовые параметры экспортной и импортной деятельности с общей целью повышения капитализации бизнеса. Организационно-экономическое обеспечение отражает системную связь между факторами влияния экспортно-импортной деятельности на экономическую эффективность промышленного предприятия; способами повышения эффективности осуществления экспортно-импортной деятельности промышленного предприятия в контексте задачи повышения общей эффективности его деятельности; соответствующими элементами функциональной стратегии деятельности промышленного предприятия; показателями, которые могут использоваться для проведения анализа экономической эффективности экспортно-импортной деятельности промышленного предприятия. Эффективность рекомендаций и предложений, сформулированных как результат диссертационного исследования, доказана в процессе их апробации при подготовке ряда методик по повышению эффективности экспортно-импортной деятельности парфюмерно-косметических предприятий.

The thesis is focused on the improvement of theoretical provisions and scientific and methodical approaches to the formation of a system for economic efficiency assessing of export-import activities of industrial enterprises. In the thesis the analysis of the export-import activity of Ukrainian industrial enterprises producing perfumery and cosmetic products and its impact on their financial condition and overall economic performance, has been done. On the basis of the classification of enterprises, their representative cluster sampling has been created and databases of financial indicators of export-import operations of the selected group of industrial enterprises have been formed. The analysis of databases has allowed to diagnose the influence of factors of export-import activity of industrial enterprises on their economic performance indicators. The research has become the basis for the development of organizational and economic support for the economic efficiency of the export-import activity of industrial enterprises.

Full textAbstract:
When discussing charity, it is important to recognize that charity and other forms of giving are not solely done out of altruism, but can also be done out of greed and self promotion. It is especially important to recognize when those in power or those who have fame participate in this form of giving, because their actions may be emulated by others.
This self aggrandizing giving has been done historically throughout multiple cultures as a way to gain or keep prestige, and also as a way to keep the boundaries between the classes strong. This is an important idea because, as I argue, giving as a way to gain public recognition and to keep social boundaries in place is still occurring today. This form of giving is what I label Conspicuous Charity. This is giving in which the main focuses of the participation in charity are the public and social benefits (such as prestige and recognition) to the givers, whereas the assistance to those in need is but a secondary benefit. The conspicuous use of charity also can take a broader approach, which I label Conspicuous Giving. This form of giving is presently being used as a way to keep those with fame, such as media celebrities, in the limelight, those with high standing in the global hierarchy at the top, and those at the top of the racial hierarchy separated from those at the bottom.
In order to flesh out the concept of Conspicuous Giving, other forms of giving are also discussed such as Christmas gifts, bribes, and feasting. These cultural events are discussed within the context of multiple cultures as ways to show that using giving in a predatory manner is not a phenomenon unique to Western or even American culture. However, I argue that when it comes to this behavior, Americans are at the forefront of this movement into postmodernity.

Full textAbstract:
The focus of this dissertation is to provide a cultural and organizational analysis
of the development of medicine as viewed through the theoretical tenets of Thorstein
Veblen, one of our most brilliant social and economic theorists. I trace the historical
development, examine the current status, and project the future trends of our medical
institution. I explore how our current medical system has evolved, both culturally and
organizationally, along the same path that Veblen set forth in his social and economic
theories of instincts, status emulation, ceremonial-technological dichotomy, and business
and market capitalism. I include his thoughts on the development of institutions and the
ways in which cultural lag impedes progress.
To accomplish this, I rely heavily on theoretical discussion, interpretative analysis
of secondary data, and qualitative analysis of current medical issues. As a result, I
discover that the development of medicine as a social institution has followed a
predictable course; one that reflects a cultural and organizational dilemma created by the profit motive, which restricts the implementation of technological advances and
negatively impacts the health of our nation.
I find that the ability to view a modern day social institution, such as medicine,
through the lens of theories that were at the forefront of social and economic thought at
the beginning of the twentieth century, provides us with a unique perspective; the insight
to better understand exactly why that development occurred. With that understanding, we
are better equipped to alter future development thereby improving structures, processes,
policies, and procedures. This research focuses on exposing not only how the institution
of medicine evolved but, more importantly, what we can do to improve the delivery of
health care and the overall health of our nation’s population.
