Quality control of distilled beverages
Authors: Soceanu Alina , Dobrinas Simona , Popescu Viorica , Moise Florian 
Published: April 2013

Abstract The aim of this research is to characterize some distilled drinks commercially available on the market (brandy, gin, vodka, whiskey) and some distilled beverages provided by private manufacturers (palinca made in copper, aluminum and stainless steel distillation apparatus). For this purpose the alcoholic concentration, the dry extract, the total acidity, the ash content and copper level were determined. The alcoholic concentration was measured using the picnometer method and the copper content was determined by UV-VIS molecular absorption spectrometric method. This study shows that the distilled beverages commercially available on the market can be discriminated from palinca, a homemade brandy using the differences between the obtained results.
Contradictions et asymétrie dans l'évergétisme grec : bienfaiteurs étrangers et citoyens entre image et réalité
Authors: Gygax Marc Domingo 
Published: April 2013

Marc Domingo Gygax, Contradictions and asymmetry in Greek evergetism: foreign benefactors and citizens between image and reality, DHA 32/1, 2006, 9-23.
Abstract: Greek cities often honored as benefactors (euergetai) foreigners who had not performed any benefactions or whose benefactions were not worthy of their rewards. In the relationship between cities and their own citizens, however, this practice was exceptional. Rather, we find the opposite phenomenon: during a long phase in the history of euergetism citizens did not normally receive honors for their benefactions. This article examines this double - and asymmetric - inconsistency between the image of the benefactors and their deeds.
Étude philologique d'une source gromatique négligée des Libri coloniarum, le Remensis 132
Authors: Conso Danièle 
Published: April 2013

Danièle Conso, Philological inquiry on a neglected source of the Libri coloniarum, the Remensis 132, DHA 32/1, 2006, 53-82.
Abstract: The public library of Reims preserves, as a flyleaf of a manuscript of the tenth century, an isolated folio, which dates back to the VIth -VIIth century. It presents a short latin text, followed by ten illustrations with their captions. It is a surveying note, similar to those of the Libri coloniarum.
We propose a new reading and a translation of this text, as well as a commentary of the text illustrations, insisting on their contribution to our knowledge of the land survey vocabulary and illustrations. A third Liber coloniarum, separate from the two Libri edited by K. Lachmann, may have existed.
Un tratado fracasado : la ateología como discurso del ateísmo cristiano
Authors: Alvar Jaime 
Published: April 2013

Jaime Alvar, An unsuccessful essay : « Atheology » as a discourse of atheism, DHA 32/2, 2006, 125-137.
Abstract: This paper welcomes a new treatise apparently devoted to the creation of the science of atheism. A closer analysis reveals important mistakes in more than one level. On the one hand, historical problems are to be found, mainly due to the authors lack of accurate information about Biblical Literature, Ancient History or the History of Religions. On the other hand, it is obvious that the apparent aim of this work -the creation of a postchristian episteme- is not even taken into account. The work is just a sort of diatribe against monotheisms, and more specifically against Christianity (as it is the religious system to which a higher number of pages are devoted). Onfray seems to forget that there have been, and there are currently many scholars involved in the construction of an antireligious criticism: their works are simply ignored in his work. His views about religion, furthermore, are all the more surprising, as he seems to ignore its deep connections to cultural and historical processes. Even though criticism is badly needed in this field of knowledge, this book lacks conceptual and analytical denseness. To sum up, the highly desirable making of a postchristian episteme is still waiting for the arrival of her author.
Les testaments royaux hellénistiques et l'impérialisme romain : deux cultures politiques dans la marche de l'histoire
Authors: Mackowiak Karin 
Published: April 2013

Karin Mackowiak, Les testaments royaux hellénistiques et l'impérialisme romain : deux cultures politiques dans la marche de l'histoire, DHA 33/1, 2007, 23-46.
Résumé : Les testaments royaux hellénistiques peuvent être approchés sous l'angle d'une interpretatio graeca et romana de la politique internationale. Ces actes diplomatiques et juridiques paraissent s'inscrire, plus qu'on ne l'a dit, dans une culture idéologique et une stratégie de coercition des rois grecs. Ils agissent donc dans le sens de l'intérêt et de l'indépendance du souverain hellène sans croiser les conceptions antinomiques de Rome : fondée sur l'inégalité des partenaires politiques, il semble que l'« amicitia et societas » romaine ait lu les testaments grecs dans le sens fataliste qui n'était peut-être pas le leur, conditionnant encore grandement notre point de vue historien. L'ambiguïté et la complexité de tels actes royaux doivent ainsi être davantage mises en lumière de même que celles de l'impérialisme romain.
Une salle de banquet pour Men et les Volumnii d'Antioche de Pisidie
Authors: Labarre Guy , Özsait Mehmet 
Published: April 2013

Guy Labarre - Mehmet Özsait, A Banquet Hall of Men and the Volumnii of Pisidian Antioch, DHA 33/2, 2007, 91-114.
Abstract: An inscription of Pisidian Antioch, copied by B. Levick and published sixteen years later in 1971, has been edited with the same reading by E. N. Lane. A new edition is needed, as the front of the stone, an offering table dedicated to the god Men, bears a Latin inscription that reveals the full identity of the dédicant, and mentions a cenaculum. The dedicant's gentilicium has been the starting point of an investigation on the Volumnii of Pisidian Antioch. Several inscriptions are discussed, especially a Latin inscription in which the restitution of the name Caristania Frontina Iuha, proposed by W. M. Ramsay (Anatolian Studies Presented to W. H. Buckler, 1939, p. 206-209), must be dismissed.
¿De quién es el oro de nuestros antepasados? Los "bienes culturales" y sus modelos políticos
Authors: Llinares García Mar , Bermejo Barrera José Carlos 
Published: April 2013

Mar Llinares Garcia, José Carlos Bermejo Barrera, To Whom Belongs the Gold of our Ancestors? Cultural assets and their political models, DHA 33/2, 2007, 127-141.
Abstract: The authors analyze here three political models of cultural assets and their connection to the territory, with a particular interest in the Galician case (Spain). The first one is the globalized mercantile model, which considers cultural assets as goods of the tourism and leisure industry, targeted at the cosmopolitan consumer. The second one is the rural traditional model, where the archaeological sites are considered an imaginary and marvellous source of wealth. The third one is the political model of the community, which emphasizes the need to incorporate cultural assets into the context of the political, social, historical and aesthetic values.
L'État et la dynamique du capital-risque européen
Authors: Geoffron Patrice 
Published: April 2013

Governments and the Dynamics of European Venture Capital
A few years after the US, venture capital is developing quickly in Europe since the beginning of the 80s. Although the structures and methods look like those created in the United States, venture capital in Europe develops its own peculiar way, due to local socioeconomic conditions. For the same reason, venture capital is not as brilliant in Europe as in the States, in terms of profitability of invested funds and reproduction of industrial scape. However, US risk financing - as a counterpart to its success - has shown some excesses and limits. European venture capital could therefore tend towards homogeneous systems between national markets. This is an aim to be reached through the making of the European financial market in 1992.
However, today in Europe venture capital is rather heterogeneous, and there is scarcely any contact between traders from different countries. If the increase of activity is exponential in most countries, the concept of a "European venture capital market" has no reality, in spite of many attempts particularly at executive level in the European Community.
Arbitrage entre croissance interne et externe en France
Authors: Pene Didier 
Published: April 2013

Trade-off between Internal and external growth In France
Some people say, that over the next fifteen years, France didn't make enough productive investments and made too many financial ones. We want to show that things weren 't so simple. In fact, investments under State's control decreased, as well as capital intensive investments and investments in buildings and contracts. But investments in durable productive goods kept up. The sharp increase in financial investments was due to an exceptional combination of factors and seems to have been temporary. About mergers and acquisitions, they don't weaken trench economy, but seem, on the contrary, to be a necessary condition to an efficient revival of direct investment as well as to make up for lost time in the beginning of the eighties. In fact, there was more a kind of sound "revolution" in investment practices, causing quite normally disturbances, than a reduction in investments, especially in productive ones.
Les évolutions du système bancaire français de l'entre-deux-guerres à nos jours : Spécialisation, déspécialisation, concentration, concurrence
Authors: Thiveaud Jean-Marie 
Published: April 2013

Changes in the French banking system from the twenties until now
For almost 200 years, the French banking system has passed through many changes and this article aims at presenting this evolution to the Revue d'économie financière readers.
Following an introductory part dealing with the situation which took place before the First World War, this article covers two different periods : before and after 1945.
French banking system changes are indeed characterized by successive periods of specialization, diversification, concentration and competition.
In order to better grasp transformations occured during the last twenty years and understand the current risks being faced, it seems necessary to jump into the past.
Monnaie, crédit, finances en Chine de 1840 à 1937
Authors: Thiveaud Jean-Marie 
Published: April 2013

Money, credit and financial issues in China from 1840 to 1937
The issues related to money, finance, credit and banks in China's history deserve to be examined in the context of current Asian crises. China's position in these different mechanisms is quite original, given that international historians and economists are willing to consider this country as the cradle of money, both coins and notes, in old times, before those years when western currency developments took place. Public financial issues are, on the contrary, very different because they do not really appear in the state model before the XIXth Century. Finally, foreign exchange remained almost absent from the Chinese system until the beginning of the XXth Century. But, the main aspects of Chinese financial and money model descriptions in this article deal particularly with very sensitive evolutions between 1840 and 1937, including foreign interventions, monetary and banking reforms and economic reconstruction projects. The sequence of political regimes in this period has significantly modified, generally in a positive way, the financial system organisation in China until the Sino-Japanese war of 1937.
Investisseurs institutionnels et gouvernance sur le marché financier français
Authors: Baudru Daniel , Lavigne Stéphanie 
Published: April 2013

L’économie mondiale connaît une mutation des systèmes de détention des titres représentatifs de droits de propriété. En France plusieurs travaux ont montré une rupture du modèle d’organisation, caractérisée par : la baisse des participations en fonds propres et des mécanismes corrélatifs de participations croisées ; l’irruption sur le marché financier des investisseurs institutionnels étrangers. Cette rupture laissait augurer un scénario tendanciel où la propriété du capital passait aux mains de détenteurs externes, ainsi que des modifications de gouvernance d’entreprise. Les auteurs s’interrogent alors sur l’impact de ces transformations, tant au plan de la présence effective des investisseurs institutionnels, que des logiques d’action des firmes cotées sur le marché français.

Seize ans de réorganisation bancaire en France
Authors: Cassou Pierre-Henri 
Published: April 2013

Entre 1984 et 2000, le secteur bancaire a été marqué par davantage de changements que durant les quarante années précédentes. Il s’est simplifié, décloisonné et s’est partiellement concentré. Cet article décrit les trois principales transformations qui se sont produites dans l’organisation du système bancaire français au cours de ces seize dernières années : le désengagement de l’État, les adaptations liées aux innovations financières et techniques et les restructurations imposées par les évolutions économiques. Au moment où l’intégration des marchés bancaires européens va se renforcer, il est par ailleurs utile de dresser un bilan de ces transformations. Il demeure encore certaines surcapacités dans le secteur bancaire. Sa concentration reste peu poussée et son internationalisation réduite.

Industrie bancaire : les espoirs des Davids face aux Goliaths ?
Authors: Pastré Olivier 
Published: April 2013

Le début du troisième millénaire est marqué par une accélération des concentrations bancaires. Les économies d’échelle semblent être devenues le principal facteur de « motricité industrielle » dans ce secteur. Il est vrai que ces économies jouent pleinement dans certains métiers bancaires. Certains facteurs d’environnement accentuent aussi les pressions en faveur de la concentration : la mondialisation, l’augmentation de la taille des clients et la « nouvelle économie ». Toutefois, ce processus n’est pas irréversible et les obstacles sont nombreux sur la voie de la concentration bancaire. En particulier, les bienfaits de ce mouvement ne doivent pas s’analyser au niveau de l’entreprise, mais bien au niveau de chaque métier. Ainsi, des entités de petites tailles peuvent, sous certaines conditions, survivre, voire se développer.

Les fonds d'investissement spécialisés en Europe
Authors: Davydoff Didier 
Published: April 2013

Specialized Investment Funds in Europe
After British investors at the beginning of the nineties, and American ones in the middle of the same decade, the launch of the euro led stock market investors of the euro area to start substituting a sectorial approach to the national one. During the period from 1996 to 2000, the share of sectorial funds - excluding property funds - increased to 9.5% of overall equity funds in the euro area and reached more than 20% in Belgium, Ireland and Germany. Considering sector categories, sectorial fund’s growth over the period remains however strongly linked to the development of the new economy. Property funds, for their part, have gained more importance in Germany than in any other European country.

Les facteurs de différentiation des banquiers mutualistes et commerciaux en matière de financement des PME
Authors: Abdesselam Rafik , Cieply Sylvie , Le Pape Nicolas 
Published: April 2013

L’objet de cet article est de rechercher les facteurs qui différencient les chargés de clientèle des banques mutualistes des chargés de clientèle des banques commerciales en matière de financement des PME. Ces facteurs de différenciation sont identifiés à partir des réponses obtenues dans le cadre d’une enquête auprès d’un échantillon représentatif selon le type de banque de la population des chargés de clientèle PME de la région Basse-Normandie. Les méthodes d’analyse des données réalisées mettent en évidence l’importance de l’ancienneté de la relation pour les banquiers mutualistes à l’opposé des banquiers SA qui prennent davantage en compte l’étude des documents comptables et l’analyse de la faisabilité économique du projet de l’entreprise.

Quelle était la gravité de la crise boursière de Septembre 2001 ? Construction d’un indice de crise et mise en perspective des dernières turbulences
Authors: Maillet Bertrand , Michel Thierry 
Published: April 2013

The lack of a universally recognized way of assessing the gravity of financial crises
The last events underlined the lack of a universally recognized way of assessing the gravity of financial crises. It motivates a measure recently proposed and applied to the exchange rates market by Zumbach et al (2000). This measure relies on the approach used in geophysics : the proposed Index of Market Shocks (IMS) is the analog of the Richter scale used for earthquakes. In this paper, we implement and apply this measure on the French and the American stock markets in order to put into perspective the recent market events. The crisis induced by September attacks is actually the worst since 1987. However, when compared with the major historical crises, this one is still not - at the moment - amongst the ten worst.

L'Eurogroupe : bilan et perspectives
Authors: Coeuré Benoît 
Published: April 2013

Le traité de Maastricht prévoit des procédures complexes, peu connues du grand public, pour organiser la coordination des politiques économiques des États membres de l’Union européenne. Cette architecture est le produit d’une réflexion ancienne sur l’Union monétaire. Mais le traité ne prévoit pas explicitement de coordination entre les pays qui ont adopté l’euro. C’est pour réparer cet oubli que le groupe des ministres des Finances de la zone euro, ou Eurogroupe, a été mis en place en 1998. L’Eurogroupe a acquis progressivement plus de visibilité publique. Pourquoi avoir créé cette enceinte alors que les ministres des Finances continuent à se réunir à quinze dans le cadre du Conseil Ecofin ? Quel bilan porter sur les trois premières années d’activité de l’Eurogroupe, et quelles évolutions sont envisagées ? Telles sont les questions auxquelles cet article répond brièvement.

Can East Asia emulate European economic integration ?
After a financial crisis broke out in Thailand in July, 1997, Japan proposed creation of an Asian monetary fund (AMF) as a framework for promoting financial co-operation and policy co-ordination in the region. This idea was revived again when the finance ministers of ASEAN + 3 agreed on May 6 2000 in Chiang Mai, Thailand to establish a system of swap arrangements within the ASEAN + 3 countries in what is known as the Chiang Mai Initiative (CMI). This article describes then the components of CMI and progress of the negotiations for the Bilateral swap arrangements and Surveillance system. Before concluding on the likely courses of development of the CMI, author describes Barriers to Financial Co-operation and Integration.

La valorisation des sociétés de la Nouvelle économie par les options réelles : vertiges et controverses d’une analogie
Authors: Boucher Christophe 
Published: April 2013

Pricing new economy companies by real options : dizziness and dispute of an analogy
The pricing of the « New Economy » firms is complex and perilous because the traditional valuation models are inefficient when valuing firms with no positive earnings, no long history of performance, no comparable firms and strong uncertainty. The real options techniques are becoming a highly valued tool for pricing new economy firms. But according to Knight (1921), we suggest the valuation of these firms by real options coming under confusion between uncertainty and risk. When firms are in radical uncertainty, the use of real options may prove to be inefficient because these techniques rationalize overvaluation under the guise of a sophisticated and complex tool.

L’économie du nouveau dispositif et les conséquences de la nouvelle réglementation
Authors: Nouy Danièle 
Published: April 2013

Le premier objectif de Bâle II est d'encourager les banques à améliorer leur capacité de mesure et de gestion de leurs risques. Pour que les nouvelles règles puissent s'appliquer à des banques différentes, le Comité a développé plusieurs options pour chaque type de risques. Bâle II sera ainsi plus flexible, plus prospectif et plus adaptable aux innovations financières. Le nouveau dispositif ne devrait ni augmenter, ni réduire le niveau global des fonds propres au sein des systèmes bancaires. Il est fondé sur trois piliers destinés à se renforcer mutuellement : des exigences quantitatives, une surveillance prudentielle « sur mesure », adaptée au profil de risque de l'établissement considéré, et une communication financière sensiblement améliorée. Parmi les points particulièrement commentés, on peut citer le caractère potentiellement procyclique de l'Accord, l'accès des pays émergents aux capitaux internationaux, et la complexité relative du nouvel Accord.

Le yuan et le G20
Authors: Bénassy-Quéré Agnès , Lahrèche-Revil Amina , Mignon Valérie 
Published: April 2013

Dans cet article, les auteurs cherchent à déterminer la marge d’appréciation du yuan, et à analyser les conséquences qu’aurait, pour la parité euro-dollar, un réajustement du taux de change du yuan et des monnaies asiatiques. Tout d’abord, cet article rappelle les origines du régime de change fixe en Chine, dont le choix est indissociable de la stratégie de développement chinoise, fondée sur une ouverture privilégiant les exportations. Puis, il propose deux mesures alternatives du taux de change d’équilibre du yuan, l’une fondée sur l’hypothèse que le yuan doit se comporter comme l’ensemble des monnaies des pays du G20, l’autre fondée sur l’hypothèse que les monnaies du G20 ont chacune une dynamique d’ajustement propre. Enfin, les auteurs étudient l’impact qu’aurait un réajustement du yuan et des autres monnaies asiatiques sur les déséquilibres mondiaux, mesurés par les distorsions de change subies par ces pays. Différents scénarios permettent de quantifier les conséquences d’une éventuelle coopération monétaire en Asie.
