Labor income risks, namely unemployent risk and wage risk, are a major concern for many workers, essentially because they are imperfectly insured (that is, insurance markets against idiosyncratic labor-income shocks are “incomplete”). As a result, those risks generate significant ex post inequalitie

The French Medtech ecosystem is complex and fragmented, making collaboration a necessity. But current collaborative models are still insufficiently structured and weakly inclusive, especially for patients. In this context, the ANR DYNSANTE project aims to analyse a French national initiative, which

Long viewed mostly in terms of agricultural fertility, soil is now increasingly viewed as a global stock of underground carbon that we need to measure, map, model, control and optimize. As soil is recast in terms of its place in the global carbon cycle, soils sciences are shifting from an obscure,

JUST-IA aims at understanding the development and effects of algorithmic devices on the processing of cases and judicial decisions. The socio-historical part of the project deals with the genesis of these systems and the controversies, which have surrounded their development in the context of the op

The French team of the Lab-STICC (UMR CNRS), specialized in adaptive human-system interactions, and the DOMUS laboratory in Quebec, which specializes in cognitive assistance to the individual, will be partnering to design, produce and evaluate smart technology to assist occupational therapists in th

Over the last years, uncertainty has become a major challenge that private and public decision makers had to deal with. The most recent event of global (or aggregate) uncertainty is the spread of the COVID-19, which results in a peak of uncertainty similar to the Great Depression of 1929 (see Baker

The institutionalization of programs that signal corporate virtue, usually placed under the heading of “Corporate social responsibility”, is a central feature of the contemporary mutations of capitalism. While most studies focus on CSR discourse and devices, this project offers an innovative take on

The project proposes to deepen the understanding of the onset of fatigue and the work situation experienced by operators working in open offices. Particular attention is paid to older workers. Certain characteristics of noise (mainly the emergence of intelligible speech) are described as increasing

The fact that many people do not believe in scientific truths has important and sometimes even dramatic consequences. Since people's rationality is bounded, trust in experts and in processes set up by experts is necessary. Trust in experts may depend on who the expert is. Furthermore, trust in a pr

The SPPT project aims to understand the social modalities of taking into account the overlaps between the physical and psychological components of occupational health. The challenge and the ambition of this research consist in understanding the ways in which episodes of reduction in body resources a

By asserting a sociological ambition enriched with an economic viewpoint, the PADAC project proposes to study in real time over a four-year period the emergence of digital platforms in the agricultural sector, the dynamics of collective action and the resulting changes in work organisation. More a

The collaborative economy and digital platforms are now part of our everyday lives (Airbnb, Uber, Deliveroo, etc). Considered to be part of the fourth industrial revolution, they have been under the media spotlight in the past few years. Platforms are new intermediaries between consumers and provide

In most advanced societies, improving skill supply to the labor market is on the policy agenda. This is justified both by the fact that skill accumulation fosters innovation, and by the fact that the adoption of new technologies modifies the set of skills needed in the labor market. One powerful way

The objective of this research proposal is to investigate the impact of technological innovation on risk management in financial institutions. Progresses in information technologies have had a profound impact on the functioning of financial systems, from new financial products (structured products)

Corporate finance through equities marks the modern period, affecting entire sectors of the economy. The first joint stock companies were inspired at the beginning of the seventeenth century in France models from England and the United Provinces. The ACTIMOD project is a social history project which

SKEPTISCIENCE studies the impact of technological innovations on scientific work and its evaluation. This research project investigates the online discussion platforms (PubPeer, PubMed Commons, F1000Research, etc.) created in the 2010s and promoting a new way of assessing scientific professional pra

European law on Biomedical innovations (BI), in areas such as gene therapy, regenerative medicine, or nanomedicine, involves two contrasting processes: fragmentation (division or segmentation), and defragmentation (gathering together, connecting or ‘harmonising’). Instead of regarding them as opposi

With interest rates at zero, central banks need to rely on unconventional policy measures to stimulate the economy. We propose a specific form of a direct monetary transfer to households and evaluate its impact on consumption using a randomized controlled trial. Subjects receive monetary transfers i
