Illusions of a ‘Bond’: Tagging cultural products across online platforms

La plupart des études sur l'étiquetage social porte sur une plateforme ou un type de plateforme précis, ce qui limite la portée de leurs résultats. Cette étude explore et compare les pratiques d'étiquetage social de quatre plateformes--Goodreads, un catalogue de bibliothèque publique, Last.fm et WordPress--au moyen d'une étude de cas multiples et emboîtés. Le contenu généré par les utilisateurs, principalement les étiquettes ou "tags", lié au livre Casino royale de Ian Fleming ou à ses produits dérivés ou associés (p. ex. : chanson thème, film, billet de blogue) a été analysé avec une approche qualitative et inductive. L'analyse révèle que le contenu généré par les utilisateurs des quatre plateformes mettait l'emphase sur les événements historiques associés au livre tout en fournissant de nombreux points d'accès plus subjectifs : recommandation, ton, ambiance, opinion, expérience de lecture, d'écoute ou de visionnement. On remarque par ailleurs des différences entre les étiquettes associées au livre et à ses produits dérivés : alors que le contenu généré par les utilisateurs en lien avec le produit d'origine dans les catalogues de bibliothèques et dans Goodreads portait essentiellement sur le livre, les étiquettes attribuées par les utilisateurs aux produits dérivés dans Last.fm (la chanson thème du film) et WordPress (des billets de blogues sur le livre ou le film) renvoyaient souvent à d'autres produits culturels, incluant des livres, de la musique et des films.

Disappearing government bond spreads in the eurozone - Back to normal? CEPS Working Document No. 396, May 2014

Since the announcement of the Outright Monetary Transactions (OMT) programme by Mario Draghi, President of the ECB, in 2012, the government bond spreads began a strong decline. This paper finds that most of this decline is due to the positive market sentiments that the OMT programme has triggered and is not related to underlying fundamentals, such as the debt-to-GDP ratios or the external debt position that have continued to increase in most countries. The authors even argue that the market’s euphoria may have gone too far in taking into account the same market fundamentals. They conclude with some thoughts about the future governance of the OMT programme.
