Individual Risks and the Macroeconomy – IRMAC
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 inequ
Social innovation dynamics in Medtech Ecosystems – DYNSANTE
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
Diagnostic and Assistive Assistance in Occupational Therapy – DOMAID
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
Mediated Decisions. Origins, uses and effects of ‘predictive justice’ algorithms on judicial processes – JUST-IA
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 Promises of Soil Carbon Sequestration: Innovations, Organisations, Knowledge – POSCA
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,
Decision Making Under Uncertainty – DEMUR
The research project focuses on three channels of uncertainty transmission, which together cover the main economic links between individual agents. The first task focuses on labor market adjustments, as firms and households generally have an interest in adapting their employment decisions to protect
Professionals of the virtue of capitalism: corporate social responsibility through the lens of its managers – ProVirCap
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
Returns to Education: New Challenges for Models of Human Capital Investment – RECHC
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
Financial Innovation and Risk management – FINRIS
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)
A social history of the shareholding in the XVIIth and the XVIIIth centuries – ACTIMOD
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
Fragmentation and defragmentation of the law on biomedical innovations – I-BioLex
The project’s objectives are to explore and explain these legal processes of fragmentation and defragmentation of the law on biomedical innovations and provide ‘genealogies’- here understood as histories of successive developments- in order to highlight their complementary roles in the co-constructi
Implementing Helicopter Money: A Randomized Policy Evaluation – HELIMON
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
Physical and psychical sustainability of work. Vulnerabilities, transitions and accompaniment – SPPT
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
Online platforms in agriculture and Dynamics of Collective Action – PADAC
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
Transactional approach of fatigue of operators working in open-space offices – FABO
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
Collaborative Economy Platform Agents’ Status in the light of SOcial Citizenship – CEPASSOC
The project started from observing the rise of collaborative economy and digital platforms. They are new intermediaries between consumers and providers. These providers or agents have diverse statuses (independent workers, employees…) which are just starting to be regulated by States. It is these re
Scientific work challenged by Post-Publication Peer Review. Research Evaluation and Scientific Integrity – SKEPTISCIENCE
The SKEPTISCIENCE project is part of a context of profound change in the methods of evaluating scientific work in the digital age. Faced with the well-documented limitations of peer review - slowness, opacity, bias - and growing concerns about reproducibility and scientific integrity, new forms of e
Understanding and improving trust in scientific truths: an experimental approach – TrustSciTruths
Recent advances in artificial intelligence and machine learning have transformed many fields, including those involving complex human decisions. Whereas automation mainly affected routine jobs, AI is now having an impact on highly skilled professions, sometimes surpassing humans in tasks such as med
