Figures du féminin dans les industries culturelles contemporaines

Ce numéro évoque la transition entre une époque (celle des années 1970), où le féminisme fédérait les revendications des femmes, et une autre, contemporaine, qui est perçue comme celle de l'« après ». Ou plutôt entre l'ère féministe et l'ère du postféminisme, un passage que les articles du Grand angle ne discutent pas, mais constatent, non pas pour bouter le féminisme hors du social et du débat, mais pour analyser les tensions sociales, politiques et théoriques que le postféminisme, précisément parce qu'il est dans sa nature de se référer au féminisme, génère. Cette position, qui consiste à ne pas régler d'emblée le type de relation qui lie féminisme et postféminisme, est évidemment une des positions possibles. Elle peut être contestée, mais il faut savoir qu'il est nécessaire, pour entrer dans la démarche de ce numéro, de l'adopter, ne serait-ce que le temps de la lecture.

Sources of comparative advantage in polluting industries (with appendix)

We study the determinants of comparative advantage in polluting industries. We combine dataon environmental policy at the country level with data on pollution intensity at the industry levelto show that countries with laxer environmental regulation have a comparative advantage in polluting industries. Further, we address the potential problem of reverse causality. We propose aninstrument for environmental regulation based on meteorological determinants of pollution dispersion identified by the atmospheric pollution literature. We find that the effect of environmentalregulation on the pattern of trade is causal and comparable in magnitude to the effect of physicaland human capital.

Public infrastructure and the performance of manufacturing industries: short-and long-run

We present a theoretical framework for determining the short- and long-run effects of infrastructure. While the short-run effects have been the focus of most previous studies, here we derive long-run elasticities by taking into account the adjustment of quasi-fixed inputs to their optimum levels. By considering the impact of infrastructure on private investment decisions, we observe how, apart from the direct effect on costs in the short-run, infrastructure exerts an indirect source of influence in the long-run through their effect on private capital. The model is applied to manufacturing industries in the Spanish regions

Networks of people in specialty production: family firms in the iron and steel Wire industries in Spain (1870-2000)

Capital intensive industries in specialized niches of production have constituted solid ground for family firms in Spain , as evidenced by the experience of the iron and steel wire industries between 1870 and 2000. The embeddedness of these firms in their local and regional environments have allowed the creation of networks that, together with favourable institutional conditions, significantly explain the dominance of family entrepreneurship in iron and steel wire manufacturing in Spain, until the end of the 20 th century. Dominance of family firms at the regional level has not been not an obstacle for innovation in wire manufacturing in Spain, which has taken place even when institutional conditions blocked innovation and traditional networking. Therefore, economic theories about the difficulties dynastic family firms may have to perform appropriately in science-based industries must be questioned
