The present research sets out to study and scrutinise the key facts that illustrate the change in conditions caused by digital cultural industries and practice of the art of cinema and particularly the essay. In the era of digital projection, cinema halls are facing a true technological revolution. The latter induces a change in the consumption patterns and the access to culture The analysis of Utopia cinema halls and the video-in-pocket concept tell us a lot about this postmodern use of cultural artifacts at the age of digital economy
Essoukan, epee Hermann. "La Vision poétique du 'Monde' dans les films-essais Méditerranée de Jean-Daniel Pollet, Sans soleil de Chris Marker et Asientos de François L. Woukoache." Electronic Thesis or Diss., Université Grenoble Alpes, 2023. http://www.theses.fr/2023GRALL024.
The present study does not only examine the idea of a cinema that thinks and participates in the poetic thought, as stated by Norman McLaren as: ‟the flowing movement of the film that echoes that of the thought”, but it also argues for the idea of a poetic cinema and a poetics of cinema focused on a new aesthetic of mediation and creation that explores the poetic universe. In addition to engaging in the definition of a cinema of poetry and a poetics of cinema, this study intends to offer a deeper insight into the understanding of certain aesthetic and artistic mechanisms that poetically affect the attention of percept’acteurs (poetic attention) when they are faced with filmic effects/texts and processes that no longer rely on immersion and determining factors such as observed in popular cinemas, entertainment, storytelling, and documentary films. The attention of the percept’acteurs is rather drawn to the visual/perceptual indeterminacy, of the ‟aesthetic walk”, to sound like Jean-Marie Schaeffer and on the ‟poetics of idleness”.The essay-films Méditerranée by Jean-Daniel Pollet, Sans soleil by Chris Marker and Asientos by François L. Woukoache, make the percept’acteurs – a neologism that we use instead of spectator, since these films no longer deal with spectacle – to navigate in a timeless sphere and export them beyond the time, in order to break the relationship they maintain with classic films and to encourage a new look towards the artwork. For these filmmakers of poetry and memory, it’s about an ambivalent way to uproot and bury the word in order to defy conventions and break habits through a poetic and ‟political” vision in the broaden sense (Political-historical) of the world, a new aesthetic, a diy and artistic poaching, leading to a kind of reinvention of the language.Keywords: Essay films, Modern cinematography, a poetic cinema, aesthetic attention, poetic attention, percept’acteurs, artistic creation

La projection de franges permet de mesurer la carte des déplacement hors-plan. Elle est adaptée à la mesure des contraintes résiduelles dans les films minces par analyses de courbure et/ou essais de gonflement. On montre suite à trois études expérimentales :
1. la précaution à prendre dans l'utilisation de la formule de Stoney même pour des bicouches libre-libre (SiO2/Si) ;
2. la présence de flambage dans les membranes bicouches comprimées encastré-encastré (SiO2/Si) ;
3. un parfait accord entre essais de gonflement et essais de nano-indentation pour des films tendus (polimiide).
La photographie numérique de speckle permet de mesurer la carte des déplacements dans le plan. Elle est adaptée avec succès à un banc d'essais de traction conçu durant la thèse et spécialement dédié aux films minces. Un algorithme original de calcul a été développé pour obtenir une résolution subpixel. Les performances de l'algorithme sont comparées par des simulations et des expériences aux algorithmes classiques de corrélation. Sa rapidité et sa haute résolution permettent de calculer les cartes de déplacements en temps réel. Les déformations dans le plan en sont déduites et permettent le tracé des courbes contrainte/déformation puis le calcul du module d'Young E et du coefficient de Poisson v. Les matériaux choisis pour valider le banc d'essai sont le cuivre électrodéposé, matériaux ductile, puis le silicium monocristallin, matériaux fragile.
Aloui, Madiha. "Élaboration et fabrication de films nanocomposites à matrice biosourcée pour application textile à usage unique : étude du comportement à la rupture." Thesis, Lille 1, 2011. http://www.theses.fr/2011LIL10190.
The aim of this work is the development and the behavior analysis of blown nanocomposite films based on polylactic acid (PLA), obtained by extrusion-blowing for single-use textile application. The use of the PLA is justified by its natural origin and by its good physical properties. However, PLA presents some limits (in particular, in terms of sensibility to the thermal degradation, processabilty by extrusion-blowing and flexibility) requiring its modification by branching and plasticization. Te efficiency of these modifications was estimated first of all. Adding Nanoclay is justified by the barrier properties aimed. Two nanoclays, associated to different surface treatment, were incorporated to PLA by melt intercalation using an extruder. The dispersion level of the modified clays was analyzed by global techniques (rheology, scanning electron microscopy) or local techniques (X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy) and leads to characterize the efficiency of clay treatments. Nanocomposites so elaborated were used for manufacturing films by extrusion-blowing. The characterization of their mechanical and barrier properties allowed to optimize the film composition considering the aimed application. Finally, film tenacity was studied by the essential work of fracture method for blown films. The relevance of this method is studied via the validation of hypotheses necessary for its application. The technique that measures the displacement field has allowed us to study two of these hypotheses

Works performed during this thesis were dedicated to development of tools allowing:(i) To estimate using nanoindentation tests the level of biaxial residual stresses introduced within a 2050-T8 aluminium alloy. We propose an estimation method that couples experimental nanoindentation tests, residual imprints observation and numerical evaluation of the impact of elastic biaxial residual stresses on the geometries of residual indentation imprints. And (ii) the determination by nanoindentation of the mechanical behavior of an ultra-thin oxide film, between 15 to 20nm thickness, formed on a dual phased Duplex stainless steel. We developed a characterization method that couples analysis of experimental nanoindentation tests using several indenters with known tip defects, and reproduction of these tests in 3D finite element simulations using the true indenters' geometries

Staes, Aurore. "Essays on Firms' Private Information." Thesis, Paris, EHESS, 2020. http://www.theses.fr/2020EHES0091.
This thesis consists of three chapters and is organized in two parts. Each part deals with a particular theoreticalissue of firms' private information.The first part of the thesis is devoted to the architecture of global warming policies and firms' private information.The first chapter analyses which global agreement can be implemented in presence of two-tiers asymmetry of information coming from both countries and domestic firms. We impose several key constraints on the design of such a regulatory policy: heterogeneity of countries, two-tier private information both at domestic and international levels and full participation. We derive the optimal first and second-best agreement. It is shown that the optimal global agreement does not always entail a uniform price for carbon. In presence of domestic firm's private information, the second-best agreement entails prices for carbon that differ from one country to another. We thereby highlight the failure of the Law of One Carbon Price. In the second part of the thesis that comprises two chapters, I study the interaction between two communication tools --- price signaling and third-party disclosure --- that firms may use to reveal their private information to consumers. The second chapter examines a third-party disclosure that consists in a certification handled by a middleman: a certifier. A monopolist has the choice between paying for that disclosure or using price to signal quality. The strategic certifier is either a for-profit entity or an entity that defends the monopolist' interest. I first show that the structure of audit costs incurred by the middlemen affects the type of monopolist that chooses certification. I then show that the characteristics of the certification ---audit probability and certification fee--- vary with the motivation of the strategic middleman. More specifically, a for-profit certifier, whenever it is possible, will not audit and put the highest feasible fee while a certifier defending the monopolist will audit with a certain probability and select the lowest possible fee. This chapter thereby contributes to a better understanding of the certification industry.The last chapter studies a third-party disclosure that consists of two steps: certification and labeling. It involves two middlemen --- the certifier and the owner of the label --- and it includes a certification fee and a price for the label. A monopolist has the choice between paying for that disclosure or signaling quality through price.I derive the disclosure when the certifier is a for-profit private entityand the label owner is private either a for-profit entity or an entity that defends the monopolist' interest. I show that, when the label owner defends the monopolist, the price of that label and the sharing of the surplus depend on the nature of certifiers' competition. In particular, I find that, a label owner defending the monopolist in order to prevent the certifier from capturing the surplus should favor competition between certifiers or, when that is not possible, monetize the label
Santoleri, Pietro. "Essays on young firms' dynamics." Thesis, Paris 1, 2019. http://www.theses.fr/2019PA01E011.
In light of the prominent role played by young firms in shaping the creative destruction process and contributing to overall job creation, this thesis provides novel evidence on the dynamics of these segment of the productive system. In particular, the dissertation revolves around the following topics: i) the role played by innovation activities in fostering employment growth in young firms; ii) the impact of the economic recession of the growth rates of young vs. small firms; iii) the role played by public policies in supporting innovative entrants. In more detail, Chapter 1 examines the under-researched nexus between innovation activities and employment growth in newly born firms. Based on a representative dataset for a cohort of US firms born in 2004, the results highlight the relevance of R&D and patenting to foster growth and, especially, high-growth performance for newly-born firms. Chapter 2 provides additional evidence on the relationship between innovation and growth by using Chilean data and focus on how returns to innovation differ for young and mature firms. Results show that innovation benefits high-growth firms. However, these results materialize especially for mature firms and in the case of process innovation whereas innovative activities do not appear to be a prerequisite for high-growth performance in young businesses. These findings highlight how the returns to innovation might be context specific. Chapter 3 focuses on the impact of the double-dip recession on the growth performance of young vis-à-vis small firms. Using data for ten Eurozone countries, the findings show that small firms were not particularly affected - if anything they performed better - whereas young firms experienced a marked decrease in their growth rates. In the analysis we also find that the financial constraint channel appears to be one of the forces responsible for the above results. In Chapter 4 the main focus is the investigation of the role of public policy in providing support for the performance of innovative new firms. In particular, we investigate the impact of a recent policy implemented in Italy (i.e. the “Start-up Act”). The analysis indicates an overall positive effect of the program on a wide range of firm-level outcomes
Sellier, Geneviève. "Les films de jean gremillon : essai d'analyse narratologique." Paris 3, 1987. http://www.theses.fr/1987PA030227.
The thesis deals in chronological order with the full length films of jean gremillon, from "maldone" (1927) to "the love of a women" (1954), before discussing his work as a whole. By analysing the divergence between the story itself and the sequence of events and their presentation, the creating of the characters and the interpretation of the actors, and lastly the editing of the narrative and of the visual images, we have attempted to show how certain themes recur in the films while others are developed and break new ground. This leads us to try to evaluate the position of gremillon's films in relation other works of this period and in paricular to other melodramas. Finally we discuss the question of a cinema wich aims to alienate the audience, and of the cration of "alternative" female characters who reinstate the value of everyday life in sets wich systematically make use of natural exteriors

This thesis consists of three chapters on microeconomic issues of firms in developing countries and the impact of government policies on business growth. The first chapter examines firms' incentive to establish a reputation for quality. A key problem in developing countries is the lack of reliable provision of high quality goods and services. I designed an experiment to understand this phenomenon in a setting that features typical market conditions in a developing country: the retail watermelon market in a major Chinese city. I begin by demonstrating empirically that there is substantial asymmetric information between sellers and buyers on sweetness, the key indicator of quality for watermelons, yet sellers do not sort and price watermelons by quality. I then randomly introduce one of two branding technologies into 40 out of 60 markets-one sticker label that is widely used and often counterfeited and one novel laser-cut label. I track sellers' quality, pricing and sales over an entire season and collect household panel purchasing data to examine the demand side's response. I find that laser branding induced sellers to provide higher quality and led to higher sales profits, establishing that reputational incentives are present and can be made to pay. However, after the intervention was withdrawn, all markets reverted back to baseline. To rationalize the experimental findings, I build an empirical model of consumer learning and seller reputation. The results indicate that information frictions and fragmented markets lead to significant under-provision of quality in this setting. Though there is a high demand for quality, trust could take a long time to establish under the existing branding technology, which makes reputation building a low return investment. While the new branding technology enhances consumer learning, small individual sellers do not have the incentive to invest in this technology due to their small market size and market competition. The second chapter (co-authored with Seema Jayachandran, Edmund J. Malesky and Benjamin Olken) considers how local governments' bribe extraction could interact with firms' growth. We propose a model in which government officials' choice of how much bribe money to extract from firms is modulated by inter-jurisdictional competition. The model predicts that economic growth decreases the rate of bribe extraction under plausible assumptions, with the benefit to officials of demanding a given share of revenue as bribes outweighed by the increased risk that firms will move elsewhere. A second prediction is that the negative effect of growth on bribery is larger if firms are more mobile. We find empirical support for these predictions. In particular, we employ two instrumental variables strategies-one based on growth in a firm's industry in other provinces within Vietnam and another based on industry growth in neighboring China and find that growth causes a decrease in bribe extraction. Our results suggest that as poor countries grow, corruption could subside on "its own." Consistent with the model's predictions, we find that the effect is for firms whose property rights to their land are transferable and who have operations in multiple provinces, two proxies for geographic mobility. The third chapter examines the impact of internal trade barriers on firms' performance and export activities. It is well known that various forms of non-tariff barriers exist among Chinese provinces. However, empirically, it is difficult to measure these barriers because they can take many forms. I take advantage of an export VAT rebate policy reform in 2004 as a natural experiment to identify the existence of internal trade barriers and study the impact on TFP and resource allocation. In particular, as a result of shifting tax rebate burdens, the 2004 reform leads to a greater incentive for the provincial governments to block the domestic flow of non-local goods related to exporting. I find that foreign trade companies in the coastal region become more "inward-looking" in the years after the reform, consistent with rising local trade barriers. The value of exports through intermediaries grows less in the inland region relative to the coastal region, and the negative effect is larger in inland provinces with greater exposure to the reform, measured using baseline reliance on trade through intermediaries. I extend the standard open-economy heterogeneous firm model by adding an intermediary sector as in Ahn, Khandelwal and Wei (2011) but with a new focus on the intermediary's role of domestic sourcing. The model can be used to analyze general equilibrium effects, examine firms' entry and exit into exporting, and quantify the distortion on TFP.

Grassi, Basile. "Essays on firms dynamics in macroeconomics." Thesis, Paris 1, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014PA010089.
Firms are the productive unit of a modern economy. It is where inputs are transformed in goods used for consumption or as inputs for other firms. These firms are numerous and very different from one another. Some are very large, while others are small. These heterogeneous firms face changes in their demand and productivity that shape their dynamics. The growth domestic product (GDP) is the sum of the value added of all the heterogeneous firms that compose an economy. It thus seems natural to think that the dynamics of the GDP is the aggregation of the dynamics of firms. However, the conventional wisdom in the macroeconomics literature, for example the real business cycle (RBC) theory, assumes one representative firm. The dynamics of the aggregate is only driven by a shock that affects the representative firm. This is equivalent to assuming perfectly correlated shocks that affect all the firms of an economy in the same way. […]

This thesis is a collection of studies on son preference in Pakistan. The studies analyze the prevalence and strength of son preference and its effects on women’s childbearing. The role son preference plays in determining women's participation in intra-household decisionmaking is examined as are its effect on birth spacing, probability of risky births and role of maternal age at marriage in modifying gender-specific reproduction and development outcomes. We find strong evidence for both the revealed and stated preference for male offspring. The probability of continuing childbearing also decreases with the number of sons born. Furthermore, we find that women with at least one son have more say in ‘routine’ household decisions but not in financial decisions. Female participation in decision-making grows significantly with the number of sons but only up to the third parity. We find that women with at least one son are more likely to delay succeeding births. We obtain strong evidence at parity 1. The impact seems to dissipate beyond the second parity. Moreover, we find that marriage at 18 or later positively influence women’s preference for family’s sex composition. However, whether or not a woman married early or late does little to modify the male gender bias prevalent in parental investment. In light of these findings, we suggest policy measures that could help improve gender equity in the country

This thesis contributes to both theoretical and empirical aspects of the literature on firm heterogeneity in international trade. On the theoretical side, I provide insights of the consequences of trade liberalisation when firms are heterogeneous and countries are asymmetric. On the empirical side, I discuss the causality of the relationship between performances and trading status of firms. Do more productive firms self-select into international markets? Do firms become more productive because they enter international markets? These hypotheses are not mutually exclusive and my work provides support for both of them

The thesis contains three essays on international firms. The first essay extends Iodice and Tomasi and studies the evolution of the labor and wage structure of Italian manufactures in the early 2000s. We decompose the skilled-wage bill ratio into labor and wage movements, occurred between and within industries and firms. We find that workers moved mostly towards unskilled intensive sectors, consistently with the comparative advantage of Italy in traditional industries. Most of the changes occurred within industries and mostly within firms, while wages did not adjust proportionally. The second essay is a joint work with Fontagné and Secchi. We describe the aggregate diversification, the products exported towards a destination, as the output of choices of heterogeneous firms. We propose an index of firms product similarity and interpret it as a measure of fundamental rather than firm-specific forces in diversification. We compute the Revealed Comparative Advantages (RCA) for France and we find that industries with high firms' product similarity are more resilient to loose the RCA when removing individual firms. The third essay studies the protective nature of non transparent technical regulations. I build a database on the history of Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) that have been contested to the WTO and I match it with a panel of French exporters. I find that in more than 1/3 of the cases, countries have not disclosed the TBT before the enforcement. In these cases, TBTs cause a temporary halt of the exporting activity. This suggests that countries can hinder foreign competition by rising the uncertainty in the market and firms' incentives to delay their export investment

The first essay of this dissertation measures the real effect of increases in local deposit supply on local economic outcomes. To identify this effect, I use exogenous variation in local deposit supply from oil and natural gas shale discoveries. A change in deposit supply should have its largest effect on areas where credit supply frictions are the strongest. I find that the effect is strongest in areas dominated by small banks. The second essay analyzes the investment policies of public and private natural gas firms, and is joint work with Jérôme Taillard. We find that privately held firms are 60% less responsive to natural gas price changes than publicly traded firms. Additionally, we find that private firms do not respond to new shale investment opportunities, whereas public firms do. We believe these results are consistent with private firms having a higher cost of external capital. The third essay empirically tests whether firms increase risk taking activity when they are close to distress due to the risk taking incentives of equity-holders. I find that firms actually reduce risk taking when they are close to distress, and in the years prior to bankruptcy. This evidence suggests that risk reduction incentives may be more important for the average firm as it gets close to distress

The aim of this thesis is the study of influences which determine comic film interpretation by the spectator. After an overview of the state-of-the-art research in the field of comic film, in the first part a typology of textual structures that can lead to comic effects is proposed. This typology is developed on the basis of theories on coherence. An analysis of positions that film assigns to spectator in the course of interpretation is also proposed. In the second part, after a discussion of the limits in referring only to theories on text, we study historical and cultural influences in determining the reading of comic films. As an example, we study some films of the italian actor toto, examined in their comic functioning with reference to the italian cultural context of the thirties and of the post-war period. Finally, we discuss the apppicability of notion of fiction effect to comic film, and we argue that comic film is not completely a fiction film

In the field of cinematic studies, modernity refers to the attempts to challenge classical modes of representations at the time of the Second World War, which take the form of a return to the documentary. This process takes two expressions: one runs through Hollywood productions, for instance the opening scene of Chaplin’s Great Dictator and the conclusion of Orson Welles’ Citizen Kane; the other is apparent in post-war Europe with Italian neorealism. In this context, film criticism defines the essay as one of the objects of modern cinema, joining ontology to language, as described in the works of Alexandre Astruc, André Bazin or Jacques Rivette. In the middle of the 1950s, modern cinema offers striking examples of these cinematographic forms with, on the one hand Alain Resnais’ Night and Fog, a film which is typical of “the French school of short films”, and on the other hand Roberto Rossellini’s Journey to Italy, which its author has described as the expression of “a refine form of neorealism”. In 1963, two French films are at once heirs to the tradition of classic American cinema and the start of a deeper reflection on the cinematographic essay, Chris Marker’s The Jetty and Jean-Luc Godard’s Contempt. By comparing the evolution of both these directors we will attempt to define the cinematographic essay as form closely linked to a certain moment in the history of cinema. Thus the essay, after producing its first major works in the 1960s will develop during the 1990s around the time of the hundredth anniversary of cinema. New stakes arise at that time to define cinematographic modernity between North and South, East and West, as cinema enters a new century

This dissertation consists of three chapters. The first chapter, "The Supply-Side Effects of India's Demonetization", investigates the supply-side effects of a unique monetary shock – the 2016 Indian demonetization – that made 86% of currency in circulation illegal overnight. Exploiting cross-sectional variation in firm and industry characteristics that correlate with cash usage and exposure to the informal sector, I find that firms that use cash more and obtain larger shares of labor or material inputs from the informal sector, experienced declines in their labor and material shares after demonetization. I also show that casual laborers were more likely to report being unemployed in the months following demonetization. These findings document a supply channel for demonetization and also show that cash plays an essential role in India's informal sector. Crucially, given that India's formal sector is highly dependent on the informal sector for labor and materials, any shock to the supply of cash is likely to have affected the economy as a whole. In the second chapter, "Directed Lending and Misallocation: Evidence from India", joint with Deeksha Kale, we leverage a natural experiment to study whether targeted credit policy can help reduce misallocation. In 2006, the Government of India modified the definition of small firms thereby expanding eligibility to a directed credit program. We show that the credit policy changed eligible firms' input wedges and thereby reduced misallocation. For firms with initially higher MRPK, the policy resulted in relatively larger increases in physical capital and decreased the MRPK. This policy moderately reduced within-industry dispersion of MRPK and increased aggregate productivity. Finally, in the third chapter, "Victims of Consequence: Evidence on Child Outcomes using Microdata from a Civil War", joint with Sajala Pandey, we study the short-run impacts of violent events on child time allocation, curative health-care, and education. Exploiting spatial and temporal variation in exposure to local-level armed conflict, we find that an increase in violent events: (i) leads to an increase in contemporaneous hours worked by children, with the effect being substantial for agricultural work; (ii) decreases the likelihood of parents taking their children to visit a health-care facility to seek curative care; and (iii) results in a reduced likelihood of attending school, along with a decline in years of education. Overall, the results indicate that the war affected schooling and time allocation of boys whereas girls were less likely to get curative health-care

This thesis is a collection of three empirical essays on firms, banks, and access to finance. Chapter 1 provides evidence that credit subsidies for exports are substantially misallocated towards financially unconstrained firms. Using loan level data for firms and exploiting an exogenous change in loan eligibility, I show that publicly listed firms are financially unconstrained, and are also allocated nearly 44% of all subsidized loans. The opportunity cost of these misallocated funds is significant as even the more productive privately held firms are shown to be financially constrained. Chapter 2 studies the role of banks in the transmission of financial flows to the economy. Exploiting a large and unexpected liquidity upsurge in an emerging economy, the chapter examines changes in bank lending behavior and finds very stark results. Bank lending to firms did not increase despite a substantial drop in the cost of capital. The results suggest that banks may be limited in their ability to extend credit due to severe agency problems. Chapter 3 analyzes changes in firm ownership structure that may be caused by the level and ease of obtaining outside financing.
(cont.) I combine a sector-specific financial shock with detailed data on the board of directors of firms and find that private firms that are adversely affected by the financial shock are more likely to have group-affiliated directors take positions on their boards. I also find that private firms that do not get a group director are significantly likely to acquire cross-holdings in other private firms, thus integrating horizontally.
